Did some work on my glove box door. Welded the holes up, blasted and powder coated wrinkle black & chrome. I think its a huge improvement!

88fordf150 · 01-25-2014, 11:14 AM

Oh, I also made a S.P.I. tag for the inside of the box.

haminator · 01-25-2014, 11:34 AM

you are doing a killer job on this. I like the sanded ribs better. The glove box is amazing. This is really giving me the fever to get started on my 59 gasser truck.

Thanks, haminator.

Looks awesome!

LEX · 01-27-2014, 03:57 PM

Glad to see you back! Everything is looking good.

sduckworth13 · 01-27-2014, 05:31 PM

Brad, you got a great build going here. I like the headliner idea.

88fordf150 · 02-09-2014, 10:49 AM

I'm way late on these pics but I thought I would post some of the engine build.

67chevy1series · 05-16-2014, 07:40 PM

Looking good any more progress?! Love this truck...

Thanks. I have been doing a a little rust repair here lately.

88fordf150 · 05-18-2014, 05:11 PM

Cut and replaced a bent frame horn I picked from board member Terry b.
Pic 1 & 2 are before. Pic 3 is after. Good as new.

88fordf150 · 05-18-2014, 05:15 PM

Floor replacement time. Also started on the kick panels and front pillars.

jjzepplin · 05-18-2014, 06:33 PM

Awesome progress. Can't wait to see this.

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-20-2014, 07:57 PM

Great progress! How hard was the entire floor to do? I've thought it would be nerv wracking getting the cab back square before welding it up.

88fordf150 · 05-20-2014, 08:11 PM

I would do it again verses welding in patches. Tons of spot welds to drill out. I found that the new floor pretty much dictates the squareness of the cab.

71cheynne402 · 05-20-2014, 08:30 PM

Killer!!!

Molberg · 05-20-2014, 09:15 PM

Blown gasser.... I love it! Great work brother..

aggie91 · 05-21-2014, 12:46 PM

Cool Build. Tuning in for the finish!

88fordf150 · 05-21-2014, 03:58 PM

Out with the stock 1310 & in with a 1350.

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-21-2014, 04:06 PM

Nice upgrade!

lousblown55chevy · 05-21-2014, 04:34 PM

Great looking build ! just thought I would give my opinion on a couple of things if that's okay? I see you are underdriving your blower but I think your going to have fuel press. problems with the mechanical pump also if you decide to do a gear change , I would suggest no lower than a 3:55. I have a 540 making 5 psi of boost with a turbo 400 its in a 3800 # car with 31-18.5 slicks , I had 4:11 and changed to 3:73 and it still is a challenge to hook on the street. Blown big blocks make a lot of low end power! Just my opinion

Badazzbuckeye · 05-21-2014, 04:45 PM

this is a great looking build, Love that glove box.

I believe it is at about 10% under driven, I thought that might be a good range for a street truck. The fuel pump is rated at 110gph free flow with 6.5-8.0 psi.. These edelbrocks I hear like no more than 5psi? I plan on installing a AFR gauge to be on the safe side. I'm running the gears that came in the truck ( 3:73 ) but I added a posi unit. I'm sure it will be a tire fryer. Should be an experience seeing how I have never driven a blown anything before.

Keith Seymore · 05-21-2014, 08:22 PM

Brad - looks great! Looks like some high quality workmanship going on there.

Whereabouts in Michigan are you located (roughly)?

Sidebar: regarding that SPID label - you may want to spellcheck that before printing a bunch up.

You better hope it never hooks up good if your rear axle is all stock. Cause I have a funny feeling it won't last all that long.
