Default First clean race with no breakage

I just thought I'd share a vid of the truck running this weekend,

I would also like to take the time to thank everyone on this board for posting so much information,

Also thanks to Dave M. & Rob, for answering most all of my blower questions,

Here's the link,

For the FTE guys, this is the same vid I posted over there,

Danny, I don't really have a web page,
This link will take you to my yahoo pictures, they are all pics I took while building the truck,

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/skippe.../ph//my_photos

And here is a thread on the ford-trucks.com forum, it is the latter part of the build, & covers most of the build up,

http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=433163

Quick specs on the truck,

It is a 1949 ford F-3 steel cab & doors, the front clip & rear fenders are glass, & the bed is a home made aluminum unit,
The body is adapted to a 79' bronco frame that has triangulated four link & king 2.5 x 14" coil overs front & rear,
Diffs are a rear Dana 70 welded with 5.13 gears, & the front is a Dana 70 rear that I put Dana 60 knuckles on & a detroit locker inside, both diffs have 35 spline yukon cromoly axles, the front also has longfield 300M joints,
The t-case is a full time multi ratio drop box that I built myself, It runs a highly modified NP205 input shaft, doulble 60 roller chain & sprockets, & a 1 3/4 10 spline cromoly output shaft,
The tranny is a C-6 running 6 low/reverse clutches, 5 intermediate & 5 direct clutches, Heavy duty sprag, a coan reverse manual valve body, & an Edge 9.5" 5200 stall converter,
The engine I bout from a fellow board member here on 460ford.com, It is 486 ci, 4.530 bore 3.77 stroke, vinolia rods & pistons, offset ground truck crank, cam is unknown, other than it has .820 lift, all is stuffed in an A-460 block, the heads a Motorsport A-460 ported by Batten heads (stamped on the heads) On top of that Is a trickflow tunnel ram that I modified to fit the 14-71 High helix delta opening Littlefield blower running at 25% over driven,
Air & alky is controled by an enderle bird catcher,
Ignition is an MSD 10 (also bought from a fellow board member here) with an MSD low pro distributor & crank trigger set up,

The truck is running 44" boggers (cut on the rear) & weighs about 4500 lbs with me in it,

I guess thats most of it, if I missed anyting you were wondering about feel free to ask,

BBBob_M, When the page loads up there is a screen the video plays on just above the top left corner of the screen it will say "switch to media player", if it says "switch to flash player" then you are already watching it on media player,

I wouldn't wory about being computer illeterate, I think they make some things a pain just for somthing to do,
