Can anyone help me move towards a more traditional look on my 64 F100. I have an 460 (Which i know is not real traditional) Is there any finned valve covers or non-quad multi carb intakes for it that could help?
Traditional for when????? It's a 64 ford truck...so you want late 60's traditional...make it a drag car push truck....I really doubt you will find many 64 ford showtrucks from any period in time...so I guess build it like ElPolackos green truck...that thing's awesome.
go for the slightly lowered push truck look. stockish color scheme, dog dish hubcaps and steel wheels. 3-speed column-shift. but, no one said all push trucks had to be slow (just see Tom Beatty's examples)... how about Blue Thunder's low-rise dual quad for 429/460? get a couple of the Holley 427 "backwards" carbs & repro linkage, etc. then dress that puppy with a pair of CJ/SCJ finned valve covers, it will start to look a lot like a 427, which is pretty traditional in the mid-sixties kind of sense.
Ain't gonna matter much if gas keeps going up like it is cause its gonna be a traditional style yard art....
They're saying it's going to be $4 bucks a gallon here in NY by the summer... I love it, gonna go up over .50 cents in the next three months! Craziness!
Yeah id put a 6 cyl back in. good ol' 223's. annd a 2x12 wooden front bumper, and a metalflake moon steering wheel and a flaked viynal seat, with some 15 inch chrome reverses, and cab lights haha
