Truck update:

I have ordered an installed brand new sway bar bushings and end links, reconnected the strut bars with new bushings, new grease in the ball joints and new bearings and rotors. We have reinstalled the old steering pieces to make moving it around easier. I also installed new shocks.

Hopefully only one more week until we will have it back in a garage and not out in the elements. I have started to consider engine options for the truck. I debate between a 5.0 L 302 or the 351.
I went to a pick and pull and found a 66 ford with a 352 and manual transmission. I feel like it could be a good option, but am not very familiar with the 352. This truck also has a solid roof which I am considering cutting off to help fill in the hole where my very stylish sun roof sits. It has the same lines as well as the support piece which run along the under side(mine is cut). Does anyone have any advise on these ford engines or experience working with them and would like to share any pros and cons with me?

Thanks
