Merry Christmas to all. Santa brought us some new and needed tools for our builds. Now in addition to the others we added a small metal brake, punches, grinding tools and crimping tool. Lots of welding stuff like hoods, jackets, sleeves, and masks. Lots of new metal with some already bent to replace door panel bottoms. Im already making my list for next year.

 

I really didn't get anything for the truck, but I did get a nice sign to hang in the shop:

 

I got an Explorer 8.8 rear end for my 50.

 

I most have been a bad boy last year 'cause I didn't get anything for the truck this year... Tight year...

 

I gave mine the winter off.

 

I bought my trucks an early present back in June, their very own garage.



No more being stored in the shed way back on the farm. Now they're just across the driveway.

 

Nice Bob. Merry Christmas to your trucks!

 

And a Cee-ment floor to boot.

A real nice Christmas for my truck.

I got a Kwik-Wire 14 Circuit harness for mine this year, wife ordered it to my surprise. Looks like a decent setup, I think it's their Ford 2nd Gen kit that supposed to do everything from 79' and back.
Looks like a well built kit, my only thoughts are "when to start" the install.

14 Circuit Ford Wire Harness - KwikWire.com | Electrify Your Ride

My original wires are beyond frayed/patched/ratty, and being converted to 12v, the thought of buying an original replacement only to then cut/convert to 12v sounded strange anyways.


I may need to get some weather pack crimpers and connectors for a few items but we'll see.


Anyone ever used this product? any thoughts?
Thanks all and hope yall have a Happy New year!

Betsy got some small items, mostly for looks...

A rubber mat for under the battery
A shift **** to replace the one I cracked when I removed the transmission
A cigar lighter ****
A cigar lighter element.

 

Santa brought an OEM type wire harness, JWL's book Flathead Facts, and cash so I can get what I need next for my 52.
