What have you done to your truck today?
Well finished my center console and captains chairs install.. Had a lot of fun along the way, had to pull the carpet and toss it as it was moldy underneath. Thats when I found some rust holes in the floor. So I patched those and test fitted the console. 10" sub downfiring with the amp on the back of the console. Bolted down so even if someone broke in they couldn't steal it(whole thing weights probably 70+ pounds).
Hits pretty good, has a nice storage space under the cup holders. Just needs a padded arm rest and it's golden. Cup inserts are from a poker store and fit a large mcdonalds milkshake(key point). The rectangle spot is cut out for my phone to sit. Here's the pics:

New clutch slave cylinder. Just as a note I will tell the no pump method I did.
I bought the o'Reilly $45 part
Make sure fluid is full and cap is on
1st I inspected it close for obvious damage or loose manufacturin debris.
2nd proped it up on the workbench at about a 45 degree angle
3rd filled it with fluid plugged all 3 holes (1 for line 2 for pin) then rocked it from horizontal to 45 degrees 3 or 4 times repeat a few times until you don't have to add fluid
4 prop it back up at a 45 degree angle
5 remove old cylinder by prying clip toward drivers side
6 remove cotter pin from roll pin
7 rove roll pin (I used a roofing nail) leave cylinder hooked to line roofing nail in place of pin)
8 retrieve cylinder plugging the holes with your fingers.
9 remove nail pull line out of old cylinder replace o-ring and insert line into new cylinder.
10 Grip roll pin with needle nose pliers and tap into place with small hammer.
11 start cylinder clip on to transmission pry rod back insert into reciever slide the rest of the way on.
With any luck your master cylinder is still half full and no air in the line.
I did mine with no pumping necessary.

Put on a new ground cable from battery to starter, actually two of them. I have replaced the starter, solenoid on the fender, ground cable, and it still won't start. All it does is that one click. Battery tests out OK, 11.84 volts which I think it was reading before when it would start. Not sure where to go next. Positive was getting voltage to starter when I put it in. Will post another thread and see what ideas I can get.
I put A new heater hose, A new battery, New front shocks,new low temp thermostat, and a new valve cover gasket. I am just getting started. 1986 f150 being ressurected after sitting for 8 years. Just washing it turned it from green[mildew and mold] back to blue.

fnfast88,
you should cover that with speaker felt/carpet.
Diesel_Brad,
you should disclose the frame damage/repair.(if im thinking of the right truck.pretty sure that was the one with bent frame.)
for that kind of coin,id want to know about it and inspect prior to bidding.not find out latter.

Used the 90 F150 to haul home a rear end with leaf springs, parking brake cables, and a bunch of other goodies on it. It has 3.55 gears and the best part was it was free. It has blown spider gears so going to use it for parts for the 90 F150 and my 88 F150 if I ever need it. Might even use some of the springs as a helper spring since it is sagging a bit with the truck box. Parking brake cables probably will go on my 88 since I am not sure what the problem is on my 88 with the parking brake.

I thought it went to the frame shop and it wasn't bent?
