I am talking of the driving bucket . Street Rodder in the Library .

Well after 2 attempts I finally got the right timing gear set , all my fault have a 302 block and a 351 ground cam . The cam sprockets are different . So tonight I added a couple more pieces that are permanently sealed .

Now if the engine sounds like this with the 268H comp cam I will be tickled and pickled '

This is a you tube of the cam sound supposedly . I have heard so many different variations to it.

Little more today striped down the front seats and got them to a friend to get the covers on . So if anyone has a wonder on what originals were like here is one .

They are a bit tatty,arent they??Probably keep you awake on a long night drive though...

Oh yeah I sat in the back and it's springy , And a little noisy also .

Damn you even had the seats, I am jealous

But Pro they may be a little bouncy for me in the long run . I will be ready to adapt a Mustang bucket in there if need be .

Bobby,I have 95 Mustang buckets in the F100,because we were sick of sliding around on a bench that fell away on all angles..It was sad and slippery..I fabricated some frames for them to sit on,bolted it together,and they are quite comfortable..

Old school mustang buckets,60's? I had a mustang bench in my old 49 chevy truck, always like the old 60's buckets.

This is what I would go to like how they wrap the body in .

Have a look at 1996 or similar Mustang Cobra...even better..A little more wrap around type..Had a brown leather set for our T tudor,but had to cash up,so sold them,wish I had kept them for the F100..

Engine in still looking for heads . Trans will have to be cleaned up , want the body on so I can fit the firewall .

Heads I got off ebay came in and just as listed rebuilt fully . I pulled some valves at random to check and the seats and valves where just ground new and the guides where nice and tight . I couldn't have had a pair machined for what I gave for them .

A little update in pics of the Moving Forward

Good Deal Bobby! Great score on the heads the motor / chassis are looking sweet together!
