Soooo anyways I am the proud owner of a 1972 ford f350 custom 1ton dually, with a farm bed(being as these were cab chassis trucks only)...I bought it about 5 years ago for $1000 and drove it for 2 before parking it and removing the engine for a rebuild...its a 390/4barrel/4spd w/g-low truck dana70 rear w/373:1 gearing, power all drum braking...was running fine except when going up a grade with my triaxle gooseneck trailer it would rattle and ping...truck was a canadian built model and the color code is k but its the boxwood green, instead of prairie yellow...Ill get on to uploading some pics in the next couple days...when i got it the grill shell was hazy and slightly mangled on the pass front corner as the prior owner clipped something just hard enuff to give the dent side relief a slight ripple(character) but not hard enuff I feel if need replacing as of yet..I spent a day gently massaging the grill shell and headlight trim back into shape and then painted everything a med. almond color and then the inserts hunter green...still looks decent even tho its been 5 years...so movin on...The engine...block-punched .60 over, sealed power pistons n bearings, hasting rings, edlebrock lifters/valve springs/true roller timing set/.292 single pattern hydraulic lifter cam/ heads-3angle valve job hardened seats stainless valves(blah blah blah)...factory 400lb back breaker intake manifold...holley 750 w holley red fuel pump, gm style hei distributor...stainless shorty block hugger headers(cause steering box is behind k-member)...was getting ready to send to to exhaust shop, but ran into some major snaggage when attempting to replace the cab bushings...basicly resulting in the parts i will be ordering in the morning...being floor pans and cab mounts...floors had a few pinholes but not bad really, but drivers side cab mount tho it looks ok is gone...passenger is decent but frame mount needs to be fixed, so looks like cab is coming off, and im gonna just do both side and get it over with...so there ya have it..my current project...and just for the record, my offroad only toy "1971 mail jeep on 44" tractor tires" has an all ford drivetrain so dont be hatin on my name...
...well that is all for now...will try and get on some pics here after a while 
from Massachusetts.
...soon as I can get the front clip rehung and radiator mounted I can finally fire up the engine for the first time... 
...got quoted $160 to get exhaust installed if the front clip is off other wise they want $225 
...sooo..anyways...thats about it for now
