    heya,
    I have a 74 standard 2dr Maverick with a 250 6cyl inline C4 trans.
    Bought it a few years back from my neighbor with some alignment issues and suspension problems. Came with 60k original miles and all original equipment which includes the spare tire. Since then I have changed almost every gasket in the thing and got a new exhaust system. The carb went out and I bought a rebuilt. The timing is loose and after I adjusted the carb, my attention was brought to the crankshaft's timing wheel which had shifted so I need to do some work but haven't had time to but its an easy (and dirty) fix but I can manage. I joined so I can get some ideas about further customizations and bolt on improvments I might not know of otherwise, and some place to find parts wouldn't be too bad either.
