Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
What wheels are on it? Some of the later optional factory wheels look good on the earlier trucks, the way rallyes look good on older GMs. Even their argent colors spoke style wheels. But the later (like '96) steel wheels look great, about 10 clots like rallyes and they take a dog dish cap. With the short wheel openings in the rear you have to watch going wider

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Nice looking truck, Paul! My dad had one like that but it was "tree frog" green. He switched the "R" to second spot, "O" to third spot, and filed out part of the "D" to make it a "G". FORD -> FROG.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not my truck but one my buddy is working on.
Apparently someone broke the 9" housing and gorilla welded it to the point that it warped the mounting face for the 3rd member such that it won't seal. I machined it back down as flat as possible while removing the least amount of material as possible.

Great Set-up We have a couple of guys in the shop that I am Employed at., that know the mechanical stuff and issues that would be created in this situation They can Do It Right.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Nice truck Paul. That is the last year of Ford pickup that I like. IMO they got to boxey after that. Those wheels look alot like the ones on our '96 Bronco. One of the guys that hangout at Tuesday night Cruise night has a nice pickup with the same style wheel.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went up to the local ReStore and bought a hall table made of quarter-sawn white oak. Gorgeous piece, but needs repair. I think that it is put together with hide glue, which I'd like to avoid, for a number of reasons.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Decided to put the Envoy back together and just run it with the cracked exhaust manifold . Annoying tick but the header goes way under the firewall and looks to be a huge deal . The frame is iffy on it and I really think this may be its last winter . The new manifold will be here tomorrow so lol just shelf it and when I pull the motor for a future project I’ll do the manifold . The 4.2 will be a nice upgrade in a truck . Only has 112k or so on it

Holy cow Tim, that is a good question. Even if it was only 10 a year that would be over 600.... I have had the car for 63 years and Pat and I just celebrated our 58th anniversary. Lots of good times in it for sure. LockDoc

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I didn't mean to make you rack your brain, buddy I'm sure the number is up there. The story of you and that car could make a book. I was 5 when you got it

I like to see the older trucks with the newer factory wheels. Ford had an alloy that looked like Outlaw IIs, but I actually think the argent wagon wheels with the center caps and beauty rings would look perfect. Those came on F150s and Broncos '84-'91. The beauty rings have a double red pinstripe that set them off.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
It must have been a day for door work. I put a new door handle on the 98 k1500. What a royal pita. Thank goodness for a couple of good youtube videos on the subject.
