6bt F150

Rogue_Wulff
I may be new to this site, but many know who I am.
I have owned a 1980 F150 for over 20 years, but I recently completed a repower with a 6bt Cummins and nv4500 5speed trans in place of the original 300 and c6.
It was a long time in the works but well worth the effort.


I am on my phone right now so it's not the easiest for me to post or reply.
1980 F150 5.9L Cummins Turbo Diesel NV4500 2.75 ratio 9"

Welcome, Paul!  Glad you found us.  

And, glad you have the '80 on the road again.  

To those that don't know Paul, he was probably the first guy to come to any of my GTG's.  And, at that first one he provided his capabilities by telling my why my tach read incorrectly - I didn't have the "8 cyl" ground on it.  Bingo!

And at a more recent one when Eli said he couldn't hook up the vacuum advance w/o the engine dying, Paul said it must be a broken wire on the pickup.  Sure enough, it was.

He's good!
