I don't know about the other guys (or gals) that are following you on this build, but I get excited as ***** when I get an email from your thread. It seems like you are always moving forward with your build. We really appreciate that. If only you could set a camera up with a live feed to FTE so we can see real time work. Good job. Awesome work. Keep it coming.
Lol, no kidding. Had you videotaped this build, you could have asked any price for a copy of a DVD and it would have become most all of ours top 5 watched DVD..
Incredible, maticulous eye for detail and just overall DAMN, what an inspiration for us all to aspire to..
Some attention to detail. It's hard to post these pics and assume everyone knows what part I'm talking about. Tried to put a brief explanation for every pic.
Inner fender / hood hinge brace.
Notice the two braces sandwiched onto the inner fender.
Another angle of the two braces used together.
Factory dual battery tray with faculty vacuum canister bracket notice the ford stamp.
Different angle of factory dual battery tray with factory vacuum bracket and factory battery hold down bracket
Regular battery tray
Under side of inner fender with factory brace for factory battery hold down bracket.
Underside of inner fender battery tray brace.
Installed heavy duty cage nuts for battery tray bolts.
I don't know what more details you want. 1980-1996 Ford truck door weatherstrip. Unwrap the package when you get it. Press it on. There will be extra at the bottom where the door sill scuff plate is, cut to the length you need. Flatten the section that goes under the scuff plate. Install scuff plate. Take a step back. Take a few pics. Drink a beer. Thats Hilarious
I was very impressed with the use of the Saginaw PS pump using Econolpne hardware. As I stared intently at this image:
I wondered what your plans are with regard to plumbing. Will you be using race type fittings, braided hose and so on? I'd guess that there's a potential for 1500 psi for the pressure line here so I'm sure you'll build it stout. Or is there a factory solution that can be adapted?

Haha. I was just about to answer. Beat me to it. ...Sounds about right.
Here is another view of the vacuum stand (for relay mounting) mounted in original location (but on driver side)before tray is installed:
New Motorcraft BXT-24F-A batteries (CCA 700) specified by Gaudin Ford in Las Vegas. Late 60's Bronco/Mustang/truck all-metal hold down clamps with stainless steel J-bolts.:
After using Optima batteries since 2001, I considered using them for this truck. Optimas are clean, reliable great batteries. I have had them fail in cold weather on the diesel trucks many times (High demand) and they don't fit the steel Ford hold-downs. Motorcraft just got the vote.
Bumpside hood stabilizers (67-79 F600 hood stabilizers) now live on the 77 F100 in their original location:
Underside of 1973 inner fenders. Note the L-shape extra brace with three bolt locations. That is supplied from 1978-79 inner fenders, and is welded to assembly.
Ford Heavy-truck hood scoop duct mated to Lincoln housing:
