Today I started final assembly of the .040 over 302 in the 94 f150 project. I will be starting a build thread soon but i will have the engine in it and running before I do that

 

lined up its permanent replacement for daily driver duties. Picking it up in the morning. Just a quick peek for you guys though.

 

Cool! Is it 4wd? Good color.

 

4.0 V6, 4WD

 

Ponykilr, if you are talking to me, no not 4wd just a 2wd extended cab dark blue with silver lower stripe. Gray cloth interior. It needs a few body panels repaired. And a set of wheels 4 link an lowered 4 inches

 

 

Looked more at wat parts I need to fix front end on the 94. Then priced parts. Not looking forward to the Cold. I am However looking to get my truck back in road.

 

Well I picked it up on Friday, but was too busy over the weekend to grab any pictures. Let me introduce the new ride.









It was exactly what I was looking for. It's a 2010 Ranger Sport 4X4. It was a one owner, local truck with 23k miles on it. It is going to be the daily driver from now on and the big truck will be for hauling or any duty I don't feel like putting the ranger through.

 

Nothin wrong with that brother. Low miles too. ^

 

Whatcha putting that PSD in Terry?

 

going into storage until it gets rebuilt. currently have 4 PSDs here. be nice to have a spare motor

 

Nice looking ranger.


Plans to supercharge it later? LOL

I finally ordered the parts I needed today. I ordered the updated transmission pan with the drain plug, an improved front pump seal, and this beast of a torque converter. I figure since the trans is coming out anyway for the front pump seal, I might as well upgrade the TC and be done with it. WAY overkill for an N/A IDI, but the converter should outlast the transmission.

I'm starting to get excited now. I haven't been taking my truck on any drives out of town because of the leaky seal, so I'm really looking forward to getting it fixed. Almost there!

 

Pulled a tri-axle dump truck out of a snow bank with the 97. Ordered a shift boot, and looked around for a possible coolant leak.

 

Installed an LED Bulb in my dome light on my 88 that came with the 95 F250 parts truck (it is from super bright leds according to the PO).


Also decided I am going to use the 91 F150 as parts also. Just seems like I need a 2 parts trucks rather then another running truck right now.
So now I have 2 parts trucks but have to decide on this:
Put the utility bed on the 92 F250 and the flatbed back on the 89 F350 or just sell the utility bed.
What do y'all think?
