That and he'll be so invested he could never dream of getting rid of it which fixes his current problem of not being able to find a clean replacement.
My Ford Truck Project (And Other Projects)

About ten years ago one of my friends brother took a clean 92 ford body and mounted it on a 76 Highboy frame. Leaf springs in the front with a Dana 44, and had a 460 engine. He keep it stock appearing. That was a cool truck. Hard on fuel though. Every time I read posts on this thread I have the urge to get my 77 Highboy dually going again.
You know, you could man up and build that 410 Windsor I’ve mentioned before.....
That's badass.
Do it!
That's a noble idea but Regal gotta happen first.
That truck used to look bad *ss when I had the paint shined up and the windows blacked out. Originally I was going to put a 7.3 diesel in it and 33 inch mud tires all around, but could not find a deal on a 7.3 and never got around to replacing the split rims in the inside duals. I built the 390 and that is were it went down hill. 3 grand in that project and all I have now is a pile of parts. That is were I quit on it. Once the lifted 80 is sold, I plan to get back to it.
He'd be transmission shopping if he went that route. Do it!
I'll be patiently waiting for a build thread.
And a 3/4 ton frame.
GFY 🤣
There are two projects in the garage. Parts for the one will be here Thursday and it'll be out. And the other one is the Regal.
