Big Red, my first truck. This was late 1987. My Dad bought this 1978 F-100 new with a 300 cu. in. 6 cyl. three in the tree. By the time I got it in 1986, it had over 300,000 miles on it, so we pulled the 6 and dropped in a 351M-400 with a C6 from a 1974 LTD. I went through 3 engines, 5 transmissions, and 9 (yes, nine) 9" third members in that truck, thanks to my lead foot...
