Thank you!!

New floorpans have already arrived but honestly they're not as bad as I was expecting before the rubber floor mat came out.

Got a little distracted with getting married tomorrow and picking up this cherry 1969 Camaro but we have a runner!! Got the swapped 360 FE fired for the first time this week. Just need to figure out how to post a video ...

These will be bolted back in.

100%! I'm a patina lover myself, this will be a multi stage build but end goal is for mechanically perfect underneath with some rusty crusty to go all around up top. Toying with getting it registered over the weekend as extra motivation to get it running under it's own power asap...

Ole girl has had some creative field fixes in the past on the rear spring hangers, time for some new ones while knocking out new bushings etc.

Beginning frame cleanup and rear suspension overhaul.

We have positive engine stabbage! 360FE takeout from another truck, next is getting the C6 trans off to the rebuilder and going through all three driveshafts.

Available over at https://www.vintagetruckand4x4.com/shop/ Little business my friend Darin started, he prototyped it out on another Highboy project of mine and made a second for the crewcab.

There isn't a Highboy out there that hasn't had a chain wrapped around the front leaf mount crossmember so had a fully boxed one fabricated with recovery points to swap back in while the front end was apart for the engine swap.

After a lull in the action ... Progress beings! First build stage is get this thing moving under it's own power for the first time in who knows how long. Locked 360FE/C6 combo got yanked and have a running 360FE/rebuilt C6 combo that's getting dropped right back in until I decide on a...

Pulled the Marti report as I had sneaking suspicions the dual piston disc front axle was indeed a later D60 from the factory (Highboys generally were closed knuckle drum D60's up front through 1975, got an open knuckle disc D44 starting in 1976) Body Trim Plate: Data Tag: Decode...

Depending how frisky I get, may eventually end up with a 7.3L Godzilla & 10spd swap, just like the tow rig has.

Made a deal for the truck almost a year ago, finally had the time to go pick it up this week. Crusty, dusty, with a seized 360 - and she couldn't be more beautiful! No finalized build plan as of yet, will pull the 360 in the next week and see if she's rusted shut or mechanically seized and...

Beautiful Tremor! Glad to see you went with the 7.3L just like I did with mine. Excited to see how this comes together!

No kidding right? Wonder what happened here. At least leave the tech for others to see.

I'd rather see the bronco return as somewhat of a mini-raptor, personally.
