Took it to the barn to get a tractor, once I got there it went dead in the driveway. It fired back up easily and ran good the rest of the day, idk what the deal was

Decided to purchase a 1979 F250 4x4 project and trade in my 1978 2WD project.

Well I picked up an old trailer hitch so I cleaned that up and painted it and built a t-harness to go in the connectors I put in earlier and ran new wires up to the front for trailer brake and trailer power. Then wrapped it all in wire loom.

Got my truck back today, they had to primer in the inside of the bed to get the liner to stick. Last Saturday I went to u pull it and picked up a set of late model bed bolts and u-nut for $5 instead of using the old one. I saw another truck on the fourm with them and liked the look.

Not much to mention, but with the totaling out of my 2011, and buying a 2013, I swapped all 3 batteries around. The battery that was in the 2013 is now in Ka'Bluey, the 1 year old battery that was in the 2011 is now in the 2013, and the 2011 is in on the lot of an insurance auto auction.

When I did it I used 2014 bolts but I believe Ford started doing it back around 98. Correct me if I'm wrong. But yes I'm very happy with how they look.

So thoses bolts don,t have the square ridge, meaning they can be installed and removed from the top?

That is correct. However you must commit to them. To install them ou need to drill out the square holes to larger round holes. Meaning you can't go back to the earlier carriage bolts. Not that you'd want to.
