Hi all,
Just bought a 1990 F150 5.0L V8, reg cab ext bed. I bought it knowing I have a lot of work to do. this is the list of things I need to do before getting it certified.
- Seized E-Brakes
- Rear gas tank needs replacing
- Hole in floor beneath gas pedal
- two holes in frame at connections to bed
- Leaking Transmission coolant line to Rad
- Transmission leaking at connection to engine
- two new tires

A few questions,
What is the best problem to start with?
for the hole beneath the cab, is a small sheet of stainless steel pop riveted over it good enough to safety? I was told yes but not so sure about it...
Any Help or suggestions would be much appreciated

Brent,
Take a look at the sub forums listed under Miscellaneous. I think you will find some more tailored spots to re-post your questions and you will get a lot more guys attention who have had experience with this.
Check it out,
