Today my 96 F250 got new spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor. Plus an oil change so she's freshened up. Got a new starter to go in there one of these days and still have to do a tire rotation. Gonna have to find the time to do a transmission fluid change in the near future too

Did this today was curious if this stuff worked or not. So I tried it. I was pretty happy with the results..it was a rush job, (supper was nearly ready...man has to eat ya know) so I think it could be better, maybe one day if I am bored I will polish it up a little better, but I believe there was a remarkable improvement.

By the way..this is what I used...
Meguiar's One-Step Headlight Restoration Kit - Walmart.com

Don't know about yall but I hate Walmart..but living in a rural area it becomes a necessary evil. Had to stop to get some things for the house and saw this, thought why not.

Installed a front sway bar last weekend, put in a PMF drop track bar bracket and adjustable track bar. I believe all of my bump steer is gone.

I Added Side Boards, head Ache Rack & Extended Tail Gate



Pretty Cool Effect From The Sun & Some Fire Wood Smoke


Saturday was the first day I got to move a lot of wood with my F250. I Added Side Boards, head Ache Rack & Extended Tail Gate. I squatted a little but it handled it well. Hopefully I can do 50 of these before summer hits.

Nice paint job, i'm usually not a fan of flat colors but that looks good
And it makes the wheels look really glossy...lol

Oh, and what happened to the rear bumper?

That looks great! I am a fan of low gloss hotrod paint when done right.

The next truck I do will be low gloss paint or Al's Liner.....in tan, dark grey or OD.

That flat Black does look great. I am impressed and the rims and roll bar are a nice contrast. Well Done.

Post My first post

Well since this is my first what post. I can tell you what i did since i bought the truck 3 weeks ago. fixed the interior door handle assembly by removing bolt clip and and installing nut and bolt to reinforce. sorry no pics. But basically someone yanked on the handle so much that it broke off and bent the metal on the door interior that the handle spring assembly opener was fastened to.

Also replanced the interior door latch cable and changed the locks, which is extreme tough if you drop the metal bar clip deal out of the opener mechanism.

Today I replaced the ignition switch and ignition lock. Hopefully my truck starts more consistently now! After work, I will be adjusting the timing and replacing spark plugs.

Dad finally fixed the leak in the transmission on his 90 F150 and got it going again. Shifts a bit better with new trans filter and fluid but still sucks kinda (comparing to what we are use to).
