I got pretty good at re building, plus I don't know how many motor mounts I had to replace. I finally, puy a chain on the motor to reduce destroying the motor mounts.

I also found some sweet red buckets seats out of a new salvaged camaro that I installed. Built own removable speaker boxes with 100 watt equalizer, had 8 track, cassete and cb.
I had a '76 Ford F-100 with an inline 300 6 and shift on the column.
It was my fishing/hunting truck. Good truck. Just drank a lot of gas
for a 6 banger.
