was trying to keep the original air cleaner, but it just didn't fit diameter wise. Had allot of trouble finding an air cleaner setup that was going to fit and look like it belonged. K&N had one but im not a big fan of K&n filters. There were some others that fit but either were too small diameter wise or had a little two inch tall element that wouldn't look right. I found this moroso air cleaner that is offset , made for chevy, to off set it forward . I figured why wouldn't it work to offset it toward the rear.. well it fits like a charm and looks reall good. Waiting on a couple parts before can start her up, sending her back to body and paint to get the front clip, fenders and hood installed.

Great job. Our family redid a old family f-100 too a few years back but I don't think it came out as nice as yours.

thanks, maybe this will give you a little spark to get going on it.

thank you , that's awesome. Nothing like restoring a vehicle that's been in the family for years.

Looks like it turned out really good. Is it all done, or do you still have odds and ends to wrap up? Any interior pics?

After that, there's only one other pic left to post... one of it doing a smoky burnout! :thumb:

This may be the first time I haven't had an issue with oversized pictures. Looking so good!

It is not finished, couple trim pieces are still needed, fender trim I bought brand new from a catalog doesn't fit, not sure if they sent the wrong one. Engine hasn't been started up yet for the first time. Getting a quote on retro AC system, and the interior still needs to be done.

This may be the first time I haven't had an issue with oversized pictures. Looking so good!

I switched from photbucket to imgur, I don't know why they are so big and I don't know how to adjust them. I'd be happy to do so if anyone knows how. And thank you for the compliment on the truck. Im getting super excited.

A moderator should move this to All Other Vehicles instead of Off-Topic.

Sorry, it's just my OCD hitting.
