Maybe the 79 stuff will work but just in case I'll locate all the other stuff. He gave up mid way through and now there is no frame but there is a reaaaal nice cab and bed fenders are good too. I will begin to shorten the 79 frame in a few weeks and start the document process. Ice I am going to put the 62 short uni on my 79 frame and wondered what I am going to run into. I own a 61 f100 292 and have learned a great deal myself, the standard transmission used the … 292 is the same used by the six as well.
