Love those Cragar mags, had a set on my 68 Stang!

Classic Cragar SS wheels, can't go wrong.

Got 'em on my 69 nomad

so you lead the way for a lima truck ..i dont remember ..was the 429 offered in an F100 ? did ford make an 390 and a 429 truck ? this same motor has been in a 69 ford short bed .. i used frame mounts and headers from a 73 up something .that was 30 years ago ..i still have them but they were no where near fitting this 97 ..

Hey Hoss ,
On my old c6 transmission, autometer and others make a plug in pulse generator that might work with the trucks electronic speedometer. Mine was part of the guage kit from autometer. You just need the gear off the old speedo cable, along with the c-clip that holds the gear to the cable, these parts go right into the pulse generator, which bolts right where the speed cable bolted.
These guys also have them and may be able to help

I'm starting to feel real good about this purchase LOL
However, I pulled a real "DUH" and put the center caps on not thinking that the tire shop needs that hole for their machine. Oh well, easy fix.

any of you folks in the jersey area got a few bucks to spare

i had been asked by the fellow who owns this " junk " yard not to post pictures he allowed me to take of his stuff ... well that was on a different web site .. he dont come here .. this a a well storied 428 cobra torino that is wasting away .. if you blow up the picture you can spot the cobra emblem between the garden tiller handles .. the mustang in the background is also a 428 ...breaks my heart the stuff they have rotting away ..

it may be a week or two early but i just put my toys away for winter . .. the mustang will stay put till bout april of 2015 .. the pinto does at least have heat and can come out on a sunny december day ..i wish i had the gumption to work on my truck a bit ,,i was all over it the few months i was able to quit drinking ..

On page one of this post someone said that they were working harder and getting more tired. I have competed in high endurance sports and the rule was to eat (carb load) within a 15 minute to 2 hour window after the work out to regain your energy. After a 2 hrs it will take a week to recover all the energy used.

i posted about this car 5 years ago .. this car had a holman moody engine in it shortly after it was bought new .. lots of nasa money in huntsville bama back then ..this car would do an honest 160 top end ..the rusty torino cobra in my last post raced and beat this BOSS429 .. both previous owners are still around on another website i belong to ..

Did the 429/ c-6 come out of the Stang? Or was it spare engine you had lying around? Truck looks to be in nice shape!

yes .. the stang has had a 351 5 speed for quite some time ...truck is very nice .. i could easily fix it and flip it but i`d rather play with it ...i most likely will change the color ( white ).. but probably will not fix the few dings and nicks it has just to leave some character on it .. it has painted bumpers and wheels which i like .. i dont care for chrome ..

That blue looks pretty nice! Is the paint failing on the hood or roof?

Nice project Hoss! This will make for a very nice sleeper for sure!
