The doors were attached. The hood had just been placed on when the photo was taken. It has three coats colour and a four clears on it. New floors put in and body completely cleaned up with a few metal patches welded in at the rear wheel wells. Truck bed liner spayed on undercarriage, inside trunk and the floor of the passenger compartment.
The wires are coming off and hopefully I'll find someone interested in them. I am replacing the entire rear end with one I ordered from Currie in Anaheim based on the Ford 8" with a 410. Replacing the front hubs and having new lugs put into it to match the rears. I have a set of four Shelby II Aluminum slot mag wheels (looking for a fifth) to run on it.
So I start the re-assembly process next week but have a small problem with the 2.8 V6. I'm pumping it up a little and among other things am having 2.9L valves installed. However it turns out that new valve seats had been installed on one of the non-smog heads. Why only one I don't know but I'm on the hunt.

I have all the specs at home and can post. As for prices, it all depends on exactly what you are ordering but I'll post what the cost was for what I ordered. Here is a link to their Ford 8" rear end selection.
