My cab finally made it out the body shop and had time to get it mounted. Here is some updated pics. I was hoping to have the motor mounted in there, but because of some time restrictions and the motor only have built, I had to get the cab mounted on there.

That's looking pretty good.

I sure wish I had a great big shop like that to work in. I end up laying in the driveway or the street, depending on whether the roommate is home or not.

One of these days...

Looks Really Sweet. I have one in a very similar state. My cab is painted but setting next to the frame. Just a 150 though.

Your frame looks very straight too.

460 I presume?

Somebody need to learn about [img] tags

 

Whoops, got duped into a double post.

Nice cop car on the wall, whats the story with that?

 

Brothers shop........Cop car was recked and totalled drivers side, so we cut the passenger side off and mounted it. Doors open, the little part of the hood left opens and windows still roll down. Kinda cool.

Anyway, thanks for the compliments. Yes, having a big shop to work in is nice, but soon the truck is actually going to get to my house (which I live in MN and trucks is in NE). And so I will be working in a much smaller two car garage. Oh well.

460 motor stroked to 521.

For some reason, I have had trouble uploading pics so I had to use the photobucket thing, which is a pain, I know.

 

Photobucket is great, cept you had chosen the wrong thing to copy and paste. If you use the bottom link, and paste it into your message, it will show the picture instead of a link.

Nice PURDY truck BTW.

I made the mistake of cleaning up the parts truck I just bought, damn it cleaned up nice. My ol' lady said I cant part it out now, she wants it.

 

The concept of the user gallery was to INVITE people to it to view photos of truck not post in the forums.

That's why all the links to itand through the users name.

 

Thats odd you said that, I think that if that is what he was trying to accomplish, he would have posted this link .http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j155/bucks77highboy/, and said "Click here and look at my album!" Instead he chose to spend 5 more minutes trying to link the individual pictures. I am sure that if bucks77ford needed help defending himself, he would have flagged my post, or PM'd a mod, but thankfully you came along to pick and fight this battle for him. I feel humbled by your superior forum 38 non mod policing and bullying.

 

No battle .....Just Info.

His links were fine and for me only needed one as I can find all the others myself....which I did.

Link's were always better than images..except when it comes to TECH photos.


He has been a busy guy ..Project looks great

 

I guess I could have just posted them in the user gallery and invited people there, but I upload all my pictures first to photobucket, then try to update my FTE gallery next which I have not done yet. I posted certain photos because I have many pics in my photobucket and so people don't have to sort through them. But, also like Dennis said, you only need to click on one link and then you can have access to all my pics in photobucket if you wish. I just posted links to the most updated. So, whatever makes it easier I guess. Next time, I'll just update my gallery and go from there.

 

You had the same pictures linked twice, I figured something was wrong.
so I fixed em for ya.


Can't we all just get along?? :P

 

I do actally perfer to see the pics in the threads like how you changed mine. I was originally trying to get them like that using the icon here on FTE, but wouldn't upload and for some reason I didn't think about using the img tag that photobucket has. I also didn't realize I had a pic linked twice, thanks for fixing that. But, anyway, I finally have my cab mounted.

 

Yes you do, and it looks good. Are you using Poly bushings or rubber? How did you manage to re-use your old bushing shells? If they were locked together (like normal, how did you separate them? If you cut them out like just about everyone else does, what did you use to replace them?

(I prefer when reading a thread to have the pictues show up for me, instead of having to be linked away from the thread to view them. The only time I don't care for having pictures to show up is when I am on SLOW dialup.)
