lookin good wes, glad to see the Blue Oval Michelle is still out there kicking it

 

She's still chugging along....

 

Hey Wes, truck is looking good! where did you source that radiator support and how much was it? (if you don't mind me asking). In the spring I am thinking of putting a new one in and the radiator and new braided stainless coolant lines all around. Either that or a new rear tank, if I do the tank I'm thinking new frame crossmembers, taking the bed off and getting a good coat of por15 or similar product on everything. That is of course if I have no issues all winter, knock on wood.

 

Shipping included...About $220....

Got it off Ebay....

 

lookin good wes keep it up

 

Thanks!

Will be replacing a few gaskets soon; And the Valve Pan Cover (Have a spare one I'm painting)....

 

Here's where the spare VC sits at this moment....


Between elbow grease, and Airplane Grade paint stripper....It's coming along....

 

There are steel brush disks for electric drills, that will work nice on all those spots you couldn't reach Wes.

 

I've got some.....The paint has essentially been baked on...And is a colossal PITA....

 

It's been another while since my last update but here goes..

• Re-Adjusted my Hurst Shifter (Was getting slop in it from bolts loosening up)
• Added an engine bay power point.
• Installed my CB radio
• Installed a new Power Steering Pump Hose (FINALLY)

Here's some pics...






The Engine Bay Power Point.


The wires have split loom on them now.....


And here's my engine bay worklight working off the power point..

 

Even more work has been finished up on Michelle lately..

• Painted/Installed a Diesel Auxiliary Battery Tray/ Wiper Fluid Reservoir
• Installed a Ford Ranger Engine Bay Fuse Block as a fused 12v source
• Cleaned up the wiring in the engine bay

Here's the pics-

Fuse Panel before I installed the cover and added the split loom.


And the Battery Tray

 

Jeez.... huge pictures like that really create problems for people on dialup connections or using smartphones with crappy signal strength....

 

I'm sorry Chris, I never had any issues before?

I'll keep it in check from now on though.

 

good to see you finally got the fuse panel on the wiring job (wink Wink)

 

Yeah, me too...God knows I don't need this thread shut down also..
