Looks like a nice project, and not to dissimilar from a couple I'm workin on...
These company's have great catalogs for that one part that got lost, or needs replaced...

I recomend getting a catalog (what all my links should lead to), takes a couple weeks to show up, but theyre always a great read!

 

Hey no problem HyBoy, of course you could always make your own but at JBG's price why bother, just buy em!

 

Yep, I picked up all of them first thing. It's great to have them all to compare prices.

 

Yep, for that price it's a win win.

 

Agreed, now if I could just figure out where my NPD walked off too I needed to order some stepside fender patch panels to get my truck ready for paint......

 

Yeah I hear ya, it's like hide and go seek every time I need a different socket.

 

Motor is out!!!


I started painting the frame today. I'm waiting on some parts from Summit and bronco graveyard to get here. Gotta clean that motor up bad......I mean its in bad shape, the oil pan must have a pound of loose rust on it.

On a side note... I found some bushings at tractor supply to get the front shock in (one new shock was missing the bushing set).

 

Agreed, still ain't found that dam npd... found the mustang one that i got for kicks, but can't find the one i need, and i've tore the house, and 3 trucks apart looking for it...

Looks good so far, don't sound good on the motor... time to make her rumble

always nice when you can find a usable part local!
I got the muffler on my toyota from tractor supply, it's a bit loud, but it's better than an open header!

 

I finally completed painting the entire frame. I probably have 10-20 hours invested in it between wire brushing and painting. Here is a pic.



All my parts came in a few days ago from summit and bronco graveyard. I should have everything I need to get the motor looking nice and new. I started stripping down the motor. I swear every bolt on the passenger side wants to be very difficult. I think I'm at five total head-less bolts, lol (both thermastat bolts and three manifold bolts). It's days like that I hate turning wrenches. My oil pan is extremely rusted, to the point I may just try and find another one.

 

Welcome aboard. I'd love to say how great the build looks so far, but I'm guessing your in the middle of rearranging the photobucket account since every image in the thread says it has been moved or deleted.

 

Yea I moved the photos to an album, I wandered if that would happen. I'll get em back up soon.

 

Fixed! Had to redo all the pictures, hopefully I got em back in order.

 

Yup, Looks good. Now, get back to work on the truck!

 

that frame looks real purty. Did your body mount bolts come out pretty easy? i need to replace my rear cab mounts and the bolts look like the arent going to come out very easy.

 

would you be able to tell me the paint code for my 77 f150. it was repainted but the dash is blue. could be "Bright dark blue" or "ford royal blue" - don't know for sure
