Looks mean!

Finally the ground is firm enough to back the C10 out of the garage. Rain in Florida this year has been non stop and the yard was a swamp.

Making my own 50" slip roll to re-do my door skins because I stretched the cab 5"

Put the hood and grill on in profile.

Bought some YOM plates for my 67. Found out in CO you only have to run YOM plates on the back and the registration is free. Pretty killer.

bill3rail · 09-06-2015, 10:20 PM

Installed L6 250 real air cleaner, not some chrome crap.
Replaced all windshield washer hoses and tested system.
Final step on hidden sound system.

I'm running a flex-a-lite dual fan set up that I could find to cover the radiator. i have no complaints, it keeps it running cool and is trouble free. My set up has been on the truck for several years, I just retorted the wiring to clean up the engine bay.

Started a new Truck Fund....

My daughter came home from college this weekend and brought me BUMBLE-PIGGYBANK, complete with seed money.....

mud.man.rj · 09-07-2015, 03:08 PM

Cool piggy bank, I too have my twin girls in university, twice the cost all my life, never ending but whatever it takes..

BlacklandCamper · 09-07-2015, 10:21 PM

Well, it wasn't today, but I've made progress on the engine. Turns out the valves were not the issue, the lifters were, so out they came, along with the stock cam.

New cam should arrive tomorrow, and then it's on to the heads.
The double humps still need a rebuild, but I have a set of TBI heads that will work for the time being, just need to clean them up and put them on.

88fordf150 · 09-08-2015, 09:43 AM

Painted the bottom of my cab with Kirker Inferno Red Metallic with clear on top. Used a cheapo Harbor Freight gun. The picture makes the color look burnt orange for some reason.

Your cab bottom looks better than some guys cab top.

Looks good.

J & E Speed Center · 09-08-2015, 10:16 AM

Filled in the tailgate latch notches today.

88fordf150 · 09-09-2015, 07:57 PM
