    Coming across y’all’s video took me down memory lane! I had a 1970 F250 Camper Special 4x4 and I bought it used, of course from a guy and he and his son had put a 428 in it out of a 68 mustang! After tearing around in it for a couple of years it was pert near wore out, so a friend of mine his dad was a machinist and I talked to him about rebuilding the engine. After doing some research it turned out that was a pretty rare motor, the block I guess, and he helped me sell it to a friend of his for $3,000.00 as is. We took that money and put a really nice 390 in it with a cam and apropos lifters etc. I drove that baby all over the place but eventually the gas bill was eating me alive what with the 4 wheel drive and the big block so you guys did it right with putting in that Cummins. Such a clean install and it really looks nice with that two tone paint scheme! Mine had a sliding rear window and dual gas tanks but other than that it was identical to yours. I sure miss my baby but not the gas bill, damn! That beast ate an eighth of a tank just warming up! Enjoy the fruits of your labor and god speed to you and yours! 🇺🇸💪👊👍😅

    Such a great job on the swap and an even more beautiful pickup! I grew up driving these...new!
    My '72 probably won't turn out quite this nice and it won't be a Fummins. I personally am kinda over the Cummins deal, I've had a few of them. Great engines, but with these older pickups, I just really enjoy the sound and driving the likes of the 390's, 428's and so on. They have good HP and plenty of torque for what I want out of them. Great driving and riding machines.

I worked a shop for truck shop for anything from K-whoppers, to pete an international 4 yrs doing work diesel every type of truck that came in. My first week of work was cleaning skid plates and putting a good 5 gal grease on them. So to see that clean engine is something to be very proud of, So young and braking knuckles on that truck.

      How is that too bad? They redid that 12v so plenty of wrenching. Except that a 360 or 390 are both slow & cant tow well or get any good fuel milage. Powerstroke 7.3 is not comparable to a 12v since its so much larger, slower & way more electronics for a "Simple" motor
