I hope so. From what I have seen the fmx tans with. 351c is about the same size. It’s still a front sump also. So I have some wild card factors. I don’t know if I’ll ever swap it to Modern engine and trans but I have room to hopefully work on it. Would be nice to have an engine and trans to see. ---

New update I found the elusive new 67 one year only grill for my truck and decided to redo the tailgate. Worst case I’ll get a new one but there is so much potential I could do here. ![IMG_7785](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex043/uploads/thefabforums/original/1X/3cf734ecf224382b44e5d46e225f5858d90a6893.jpeg) ![IMG_7783](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex043/uploads/thefabforums/original/1X/a526b6dca4407bee3d670d0cd7fbade08b18980c.jpeg) ![IMG_7770](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex043/uploads/thefabforums/original/1X/cc5799170469b23e2e21339d05a539830f6650db.jpeg) ![IMG_7727](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex043/uploads/thefabforums/original/1X/95bc83af1c461f75d4a54504918b9a9d5d140913.jpeg) ---

What’s the plan for the tailgate? A recessed Ford logo? ---

Still in the thought process on that. The tailgate being warped and the bad shave job I did years ago was bothering me. So I started and I will figure out as I go. Any ideas? Kinda thought about having an aluminum plate over it also with something in it. ---

I need to repair some rust behind it. I’ll be reusing it, kinda found of the fact it was a bed rail for my parts truck years ago. ---

So not much changed with the truck at this time, I took care of some body work and new parts ordered. I may circle back on the tailgate but with life being so busy I have 2 new fenders ordered and a tailgate. The tailgate idea kinda snake balled and I changed direction for now. So here is my social media trendy picture for fun ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex043/uploads/thefabforums/original/1X/5321a9bf14b8b136b7724f5110219278634a8c02.jpeg) ---
