1979 F-250
Hey Everyone! I am very new to this blogging stuff so bear with my site untill I figure this out. I am 27, married and we love to build 70's model Ford Trucks. My husband has built many before we got married and knows a great deal more than me. I get most of my info from him. He has an unlimited amount of Ford knowledge tucked away in his brain. We were both born in the late 70's and that has seemed to be the years we are most attracted to.
Over the next 2 weeks or so I will be posting some pictures as we change the frame in Tom's 1979 Black and Purple Ford F-250. Right now its on the wrong frame because we couldn't find the right one at the time we put it back together. This truck has been taken apart a few times for various reasons. Now that we have the right frame, we are once again tearing it apart just to put it back together.
We are partial to Ford Big Blocks and generally only run 460's. This truck has a stock 460, however, it has some minor oil leaks as it was taken out of a 1977 Linclon Continential. While we are switching frames the engine will get the necessary seals to stop the leaks. I will keep this blog updated as we work. New pictures and entries are coming soon.

I too enjoy trucks from the 70s not because I was born durring the era (far from it) but I started to drive in 1973 and my first ride was a 1972 chevy. Boy I miss that truck. Now I'm working on a 78 f-100. It's a bit tired but thats going to change. I've rebuilt cars before, the last on a 1959 bug eyed sprite, so the ford should present no problems. I would like to tap into your husband's brain for some info from time to time.
