What did you do to your truck today!

[ole dollor]

junksaver: man thats a real bad bed...looks like you will have your work cut out for you, i guess you could rip out the floor and make it a wood floor, if the side walls were good enough to weld to....thats the worst i have seen....good luck.

[zellway]

Used it as a truck. Almost didn't fit. Thought I would have to go get my long bed but we got it. Should be a nice upgrade to my little shop.

[shawno72]

Nice!!

The sun came out this morning.

So, I uncovered her, started her up, re-glued the headliner and checked for (water) leaks.

It rained like a mutha over the last couple of weeks. Looks pretty dry.

Found a badly placed throttle return spring. Fixed it.

CPP 5lug disc conversion and drop spindles should be here next week... Ordered four RE-7 bags and front mounting plates today! I'm collecting everything I need over the winter and I'm installing it all in the springtime. I can't wait to get my truck on the road again!

I changed my core support bushings. Man that was a chore! Now I have to change my motor mounts so my fan stops hitting the shroud!

I did the same thing. Be careful to remember where you put everything while collecting parts. I bought a few things twice because I couldn't remember where I put the stuff while I was collecting parts. It was nothing big or expensive, however, hours were spent saying; "I know I already bought that (insert name of part here)". Then digging through all of my stuff looking for parts only to run across the parts after I had installed the re-purchased parts. Now I have a few "spare" parts.

Back on Sunday I replaced the peep mirrors with some aftermarket heads on 72 brackets. I have much better visibility but I miss the clean lines of nothing on the doors.

Nice hitch I'm just wondering if its structurally sound will it snap under pressure while pulling a trailer on the highway going 60.

Got the cab ready and firewall sealed. Paint in a week or so.

Had a "honey do" list to work off, so both the trucks just sat. My wife loves her re-bar christmas trees, so that's what I did. Thought I'd share my yard decoration with you. No lighted reindeer in this yard, just a bowtie!

[BrutonLS1]

Pulled the tranny, lost 1 and 2

[Mayo]

That bowtie looks great

Determined I need to change the timing chain...

[FordFighter]

Pulled that flex fan out and put in a 7 blade clutch fan,found at junk pull in Riverside,brought it home ,stripped the grime,put er on.....duckin fan shroud don't fit now.

[VWNate1]

NAW ~ you're supposed to wait until it jumps time then run the battery nearly dead getting it re started 29 degrees off timing and chug it home @ 12 MPH in the rain......

So the short block was finally picked up yesterday. Woohooo. It’s about time. Am I excited; no not really…it’s been soooo long I’m just glad it’s finally home. (I’ll still be pulling it apart to double check clearances and piston ring gaps, I am anal like that..)

My wife and a couple of buddies set the heads and intake on top for some quick pics.

Once the valve covers arrive they will sit them on, attach oil pan, sit on the carb and headers, and get some more pics.

Should look really sweet.. can’t wait for another 70 days or so till I can fire it up!!
