What Have YOU Done To Your Truck Today?
#2656
I forgot just how much I always liked driving this truck. I'm not real crazy about the rather large diameter steering wheel though..... My car and B2300 both have much smaller diameter steering wheels, neither have power steering, and they all have the same size wheels (15 x 7).

Cut about a 1 1/2 feet out of my heater hoses. PO had the hose winding over valve cover before actually attaching to upper hose connection??? Removed an aftermarket cruise control that was scarry, and fog lamps and all the horrendous wiring that came with it. Also started restoring / customizing my air cleaner assembly.

Finally put all MSD and a new edelbrock 750 into my 79 f350
Then fired it up to find a real bad knock, come to find out oil pump shaft fell when I did the dist swap..... So time to yank motor out
Then my neighbor took a look and found it when he looked from a different angle..... Front clip is now set on it again, waiting on an alum rad while sitting at home with a sick 2 year old.....

Adjusted brakes, Clutch and installed new window cranks (Thanks Old Style for picking those up, they cleaned up really nice) My 5 year old daughter was holding my light for me while I was inspecting the underside of my truck (So sweet) Cleaned the inside (Rain coming this week) Fixed loose bolts on front bumper and did some general day dreaming for up coming projects.
Also found intake manifold rear gasket failed so I'm leaking lots of oil, debating if I should fix it now or let it go until I do my engine swap this spring. Its making a mess out of my driveway.
Speaking of messes I discovered my wife's Yukon XL has a bad steering gear box and its also leaking. I will have to put that fix on the priority list before I do any Ford projects.
