Got a new project today

[302Powered]

I traded my Falcon Wagon for a new toy today. Plans for this year are to fix the leaks and get it running great. Next year will be a drop, better wheels, bodywork and a V8 swap.

Mike, we talked at C&C but seriously, that's one of my all-time favorite trucks. SOOO unique and just a fkkin blast to drive. If I knew someone would've traded you the Falcon for that, I would've bought yours and made the trade myself!

 

Looking forward to seeing it at HD Sawmill or C&C sometime soon. If you never put a V8 in it it'd still be cool. A drop is a welcome enhancement.

love it

I hope to be able to drop it by the end of the summer. Before that happens, I need to fix all of the wiring issues and the fuel system issues. I've never seen so many fuel filters on one vehicle.

If the info I have come across is correct, somewhere in the 2,400 lb range. When I got home, I found 2 more fuel filters and an electric pump near the tank.
