replaced the p/s box with one from red head steering gears. not an easy job to do.

 

New head lamps and hold down rings . New lamp plugs also . Halogen now . Only cost $40 for all the parts from a buddy that owns a local Carquest .

 

installed a new hose assembly and cleaned out the washer sprayers and now i can have a clean windshield !

 

Upgraded the instrument cluster in my 1973 F100 with a unit from Dakota Digital

 

That looks really sharp nicely done

 

Nice job man. That looks bad a$$!

I like the fact that it has actual numbers for the Temp, Oil Press. and Volt Meter.

I wish I could justify the cost.
Maybe once I am closer to finished and have all the bugs worked out.

 

that is awesome looking

 

Got my trans hump cut out and the T-18 installed where the C4 used to be, also got most of the inside of the firewall primed and coated with rockerguard, removed my heater box from donor cab and removed the auto pedals.

Tomorrow plan to have the panel cut out from the donor cab to block off the huge hole in the firewall from the AC unit and install the manual pedals.

We've been having really crappy weather, snowed all day yesterday then freezing rain all day today and tomorrow. Everything is layered in ice.

 

New hotness. This thing is spic and span.

 

Did you take that picture in MY shop?? I just bought one of those too! Mine even came with headers. I also scored a set of aluminum slots for after the axle upgrade on Alice. All I have to do is pay for them now.

 

another FE me love these

 

Just passed the California Bi Annual Smog test so now I can register for 2014.

To pass I had to install the stock carburetor and dumb down the timing. I also added some vacuum lines that didn't do anything but they looked important so I could pass the visual.

All of this stuff came off immediately when I got back home. Set aside the stock carb for 2 more years.

 

Do you have a build thread going somewhere? Curious to follow along

 

Not yet. Want more to put in it than just tear down. When there is more to it I will

Nope but I pulled the valve covers and got that iron boat anchor off so I can put my edelbrock intake on. It is clean as anyone could ask for

 

Isn't it weird you have to make your truck run like crap for it to pass emissions.
