    I fell in love with that truck the second you rolled it out of the storage unit in Tennessee. You have made it look even better. Enjoy that truck sir, it is amazing.

    Perfect upgrades. Another help with the ac is tinting the windows. I know sometimes it doesn’t look right on the classics but man it makes a ton of difference.

    So if it doesn’t have a 351M , what engine does it have? My best friend bought nearly this exact truck new in 1978. It was an explorer package with factory air, 351M and painted blue. I loved that truck.
