In July my dad began the process of disassembling the truck working on weekends, when he had the time, and desire to work on it. First thing was to strip down the front nose, so we could install and test fit the 460 block with the new mounts/perches.
Pictures of the truck when it arrived home from Canada. Dad and Mom spent most an entire day to go get it, and bring it home. Had a long wait at the border crossing, and with customs trying to match a VIN to the bill of sale, without success. Bringing back into the US. Dad wanted to be sure we did everything right so it can be titled in the US as the truck it is. A 1973 F-250 Highboy, as they are considerably more valuable than trucks without the “highboy” designation. Of course if you read enough about them, highboy is actually a slang term. See this post.
How Dad found it buried in the weeds.
