Another friend bought a VERY clean 73 F-100 that I inspected for him and have done radius arm bushings, motor mounts, tune up, points eliminator, cowl pocket cleaning.

Other than that and setting up the new shop while working in it I have parts waiting for my truck, poly bushings, Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake controller, tilt column that I need to rebuild, cruise control, AC dash that I'm modifying, sheet metal ect ect ect
How do you get to cowl pocket to clean

Making money and buying tools has been my pastime.

Kinda got boat/canoe building in the near future. I think the Bronco will be put on the wait to do list.

I thought they were talking about the area where every pine needle and leave finds their way in the cowl not sure how they opened it up or if they shop vac'd it out

If you pull the inner fender apron (if your truck has them) there is an Oval rubber plug that accesses the Cowl Pocket, also remove the driver side vent (or cover if and AC truck) and pull the heater out (on AC trucks just unscrew the Accordian seal between heater and cab wall) to clean inside heater and core (for VERY clogged systems)

All this pertains to 73-79 trucks as it's mainly what I work with and you didn't mention what you have.
