65 D100. picked up a new toy today..
since i sold my mustang a few weeks ago i've been obcessed about finding an old truck. man decent ones for decent prices are hard to find around here.
well i pulled the trigger.. so now i'm an official D100 owner now.its a 65 d100 with a poly 318,727 and a 3:55 8 3/4 rear. drove it 187 miles home. it did well. pretty much outta steam at about 70mph but it drove really nice. couldn't believe how nice it drove. straight as an arrow. i have a few things i want to do to it down the road but nothing major.. its gonna stay looking exactly like it does for the most part ( it has the look i was after). i think i want one of those big go to hell rear bumpers for it though. also going to paint the rims a different color. probably white.. it needs tires too. don't like th elook of whats omn it. too car looking.. need to find a more correct looking tire for it.
man it seemed to get quite a few looks on the turnpike. can't wait to get it out and about on a regular basis
i know nothing about these poly motors.. what kind of timing do these things like? it has HEI in it already. any other recommendations on these motors?
