Just pulled in at Silver Star, unpacked, beer in hand! Now where's that hot tub?!

Zip did you find a Exhaust manifold?

 

Yes I did. Got one from a place in Lethbridge. That truck and the 66 are now for sale.

 

How much you asking for the Merc?

 

I got started on the foundation walls forms for my shop today

 

Asking around $1400.00 obo for the pair.

 

Well if you still have them down the road I'll see what I can do ,would love to add them to my collection

 

Changed a wheel cylinder on the bronco. Put on a different master cylinder. Repaired a line at the master cylinder. Have the intake ready to pull off in the morning.

 

My 76 highboy
New front brakes, axel seals,pinion seal, tie rod, upper and lower ball joints both sides, front axel u joints, repacked hubs and bearings, need to replace seals on assisted power steering ram, but would prefer to go with power steering conversion kit, Wow there expensive, dont wanna rob any parts of my 79, it is gonna be my daughters truck so might have to swallow the 1000 dollar conversion unless someone has a better idea.

 

I did a engine swap from my parts truck into my Ranger last month.... .unfortunately just the same engine a 4.0L

 

Want to buy a 429 Andy. It should almost fit.

Now have working signal lights on the bronco. Changed the fuse and both front harnesses. Replaced a rear tail light assembly. Flipped one head light. Mounted upside down. Put on different antenna.

Next on the list is oil change, drivers side outside door handle, get rear window operating better or replace the whole tailgate. Need to put in a stereo. No where in town sells them so will have to wait till the next road trip.

 

replaced the head gasket on my E250 this summer. I don't like working on van engine compartments.

Jut finished rebuilding the door for my '73, after painting it. Still got some trim to put back on it. I loooove metalic lime green.

 

Always liked big blocks...... hmmmn

 

I got the box ready to bolt back on the 75.

Fellow brought in a couple 66 pu's. One is a shortbox. No box though, not much more than a cab. The second is a cab and box. The frame is hooped. Got the mind working. If my two others don't sell I have a good frame with crappy body and box, a strong running 352 and good 3spd. tranny. That's one option, probably the smartest. The second truck has very little rust on the cab and pretty much none on the box.

Now me being a 4x4 lover. Putting cab and box on mid 70's frame with a 429 and a 4spd is option two.

 

no replacement for displacement!
