1978 Ford F-350

The story

it a 1978 F350 factory DUMP truck. it only has 46,902 miles on her. she was bought new for the MSU Bozeman in 2/78. it was last used to haul a water tank around campus to water there trees. when I got it . you tell life was not grand there ,from all the summer student driver .
I pulled the 351M because it smoked and put in a built up 400. that I had sitting around. now it a fast bump truck. .
later, I found out .the reason the 351 smoked .was from all the sitting and great care it got for the msu, there was 3 cylinder , that the rings where stuck in the pistons. the block only has most of 0.002 tapper in the cylinders wall and still had the factory plastic timing chain gear on. I plan to rebuild the 351M but with a 400 crank.so the truck CAN have it factory number parts back. — 1rancheronut
