That was just visiting a fellow FTEer. This is my neighborhood:



It's still peaceful, though.

 

That does look good. Over here we have foresty areas and I'd love to move up there. Have some nice property and build a nice big garage.

 

I lived on the wet side for five years, and I have family/friends to visit over there. Algona, eh? I used to live in Browns Point... back when you had to drive through forest to get there. I'm solar powered and green surroundings are preferable to brown, so I live on the cusp of forest and desert.

 

That sounds lime a good place to be. Algona is great to me, friendly people, not too many hooligans these days, close enough to the stores that I don't waste too much gas and there isn't too many people to be noisy and bothersome. Sometimes the trains can get annoying and the freeway can always be heard but orang too much.

On the flip side, I can hear the dragraces when they do them so that's kinda cool .

 

Been doing some welding

 

Those are pretty clean looking welds bud, nice job

 

Thanks

 

Built me a diff cover. Hopefully the hydro assist ram will show up tomorrow so I can get that mounted

 

Damn! You should make like, 10 of those and sell them all. I'm sure there are people who'd buy em. What axle is it? D44?

 

You do really nice work, are you using the Ford hydro setup or aftermarket? How long are you making your arms for the front?

 

I wouldn't mind doing some side work here and there, but I just don't have the time to make a bunch of parts then try to sell them. You can buy diff covers pretty cheap these days anyway. It's a Dana 60, but I still have the measurements for a 44 stashed away somewhere.



Thanks, lower links are 35", upper is 28". It's going be aftermarket stuff.

 

Sure you can get them cheap but those also don't look as tough. your cover looks like it would withstand an explosion where as the cheapie ones fold just under a little preassure.

 

Thanks to SteveBricks for making this a sticky now, maybe some more pictures will roll in? I've got a few but they aren't of the bronco.

Got an 87 GT Mustang.


Got rid of the VW and got this instead. It's just a bit faster and will get me in a lot more trouble!


Got rid of the drag slicks that came with it and got these!


Original 87 GT Turbines, and some BFGoodrich gofaster tires

I know it isn't a truck but it is a ford at least :P. As for the bronco, it's been neglected just a bit but once the weather warms up, both vehicles will get attention!

 

You should run over and take some pictures of your neighbors project. lol. Glad you got some tires that won't get scary when it rains.

 

That old Chevy motorhome? He isn't doing much with it as of recently it's got a ton of issues. Unless you ment the lifted truck, in which case, I've got closer pictures of the axles and suspension parts from a previous post.
