Although awseome in their own right (classics) you may be disappointed in driving it EVERYDAY.....I know I know Im not trying to be negative nellie because even though they will be burrying me in my Mustang, driving it everyday got old really quick. I would leave work happy and by the time I would get home driving on the 405fwy from Irvine to HB I would end up really irritated.
They stink, rattle, rough ride, bad on gas and can be UBER expensive in restoring depending on what your plans are but I STILL LOVE EM'!

Just wanted to share my experience so you dont underestimate the daily-ness and the costs associated with rebuilding them. With A/C, a heater, being a truck (comfyier ride) and power steering; its already better than what I was working with. All Im saying is strap yourself in for what's to come.

Good purchase and good luck!

Btw - a 352 is a small block

It is just listed as a Ford Big Block FE motor. Not trying to debate. By other vehicle manufacturer standards it is a small block. I live fairly close to work and it is only really one road i drive on. already runs great and i'm not building a full out show car. just making it reliable and fun to drive. not gonna put too much money into it since i already have one money pit lol.

thanks! took a while to find her but i got lucky

i love that show but i am nowhere near capable of doing a restoration of that level. much more simple. maybe do a full resto one day. just not now.

AC unit

Top dash

Glove box

A couple of shots of both my cars, the Lexus is getting some body work done on the front end hence the lack of a bumper

Started modding already. Had one of my headlight bulbs go out so I opted to upgrade to newer glass housings that can receive H4 bulbs. HID kit coming soon.

Wheel wise, i opt for something like this;

It isn't 60's/early 70's ear specific but late 70's style.

I think the smoothies look 'meh' on a truck with so much potential imo...

that does look good! but not my style. i like to change things up and make it unique to me. if i were to build a muscle truck i'd opt for wheels more that style. we'll see what happens though.
