will tickle you pink if they last 5 years. Any news on the weld job for the parts you broke!

**Captainfab** · 12-31-2009, 01:16 AM

Something you can do to help them last is remove that crap factory paint (sandblast is best) and paint them with some good high temp paint....a couple of good coats. I use "Stove Bright" brand paint on mine. You should have some wood/pellet stove stores down there, they should have it.....it comes in colors besides black too. Seems like Lowes of HD carries it too.

I thought I had some better pics of the 292 power steering pump mount that I did, but this is all I've got. I guess this one is better than nothing?

The guy welded the part ($20). The weld looks good I just need to grind on it alittle. Can't believe how hard it is to find that part. I looked at other painted headers they were all the same thickness of metal. The flange on the flowtec's was accually thicker. I think I will paint them with some better paint though. Thanks for the pic Capt. once I get my intake I'll see if I can make the power steering thing work. I've got a set of painted headers on my f@rd they were Hookers I never painted them or anything, going on 4 years. The paint on them lasted about an hour.They are butt ugly but so is the truck.

Paid 5,000 in 85 and still going strong. Everyday rusted work truck. I've never had a truck or car payment my whole life. To bad its a F2rd. When I go to the ford forums I talk it up though.

You've obviously put a lot of thought, money and effort into your property.

It's my parents place, I built the barn and their house. They let me use the place like it's mine. I'm the only kid so I don't have anyone else trying to get there share.

$65 - $75 in that condition here in SoCal. About $95 - $105 for a PepBoys rebuilt (with core) and their quality is generally edgy. Might check Ebay.
