I replaced the noisy Flowmaster FlowFX mufflers. They are just like a straight pipe.






I replaced them with a pair of Magnaflow Super Turbo mug=fflers.
They are much quieter and still a free-flowing muffler.






I upgraded the old 2-speed wipers to installed intermittent wipers.




I bought and installed a new cigarette lighter too.
I never knew they were an option back in 1976.




So far I'm pretty happy with the old Ford pickup.

I bought some new tires for the old truck.
Those pizza cutter bias ply tires had to go. LOL
I had forgotten just how bad they road and just how noisy there were. :R








It rides and drives like a brand new truck. :C




The truck still needs a lot more work. I need to get my new aluminum radiator installed along with new front and rear brakes.

When its ready I bought this TT to tow. :)

Good call on the valve seals and intake! YES a 750 would really wake the BEAST.

That's the plan for sure.

Right now there's just soo much other stuff that needs attention. :(

Some times its the little things that take some time to get fixed right. For me it was the simple PCV.
The guy that I bought the 410 from gave me that black parts tub full of all kinds of parts. 2 like new
complete rocker shafts, power steering pump, 390 flywheel and a flex plate. Nuts, bolts, spacers,
hose clamps, multiple dipsticks and other miscellaneous stuff.




The issue I was having is that the hose had a small kink in it restricting the vacuum to the PCV.




Yesterday I decided it was time to go thru that black parts tub and toss what I didn't want or need and there I found 2 Motorcraft molded PCV hoses.
I'll pick up a new valve next time I'm in town.

Everything went in the dumpster except the two molded PCV hoses, miscellaneous hose clamps and throttle return springs.




It was such a nice day yesterday I even gave the old truck a bath.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday.
