A 400?, with auto transmission.
You needed a grease zerk on the fuel gauge needle.
Best of success with this on the rebuild.

Except for being a 250 vs. a 150, that truck is the spittin' image of my Dad's old truck and the vehicle I cut my driving teeth on.
This is gonna be cool.

It's gonna be fun, and he's a damn good kid, he deserves it.
Alright, bed sides, wheel houses, windshield and gaskets, a set of the half ton style side mirrors and a new seat upholstery kit are on order, could see a semi truck in the driveway as soon as Friday this week.

I'd give you a few tips since I'm an expert on these trucks now...but I'll let you figure it out on your own. I do think it was pretty bitchin as-is. Or should I say, as-was.  I can't wait to see the progress and all the stuff I can do better on my next one! I'm looking forward to it!

I remember the conversation ND & I had about proper tire size on that old Hi-boy. We both won that battle. Bigger is always better. Mrs. ND wasn't as impressed.

We are going to cut all this chit off the front and tuck the bumper back in to stock location. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150309_152500088_HDR_zpslv5qckqh.jpg) That is where the old belleview winch was mounted. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150309_152556898_HDR_zpsyekfa6bl.jpg) I may mount the old winch in the back of my old plow truck for un-stucking myself when I get too rammy and end up on top of the snow heap with old yeller. Nathan will likely end up with a front receiver and a more modern winch on a receiver plate so he can mount front or rear, or not at all.

I was wondering if you were going to keep that old school winch. Hook to some batteries and lift deer on the pole at chickenbuck?
