I'm getting ready to pull the topper off the back of mine and tackle some of the rust before I put another topper on... I also need to get a better look at the rubber seal around the rear cab window and see if it's salvageable or not... Might be a good time to clean the glass as I can't see squat through that window lol...

 

Permanently mounted the condensor and got the evaportor back in. Waiting on the drier to come in from autozone and suction hose to come in from NAP. Looks like next week to pull the vacuum.

 

That is sweet!!!

 

Took the 31's off my 76 model; and mounted 37/12.50/16.5 Military Hummer tires on today. Added 3 plus inches of clearance and now my truck looks like a F250 4x4 should.
Drives great using less high rpm's and smoother ride on the road bumps as well.

Dismantled my entire 351M engine, mounts, C6 transmission, Transmission mounts, radiator, hood, electrical, etc. Hopefully tomorrow I will have it swapped with the rebuilt 351W with a rebuilt C6 Transmission...been a very busy day...looking forward to tomorrow!

 

Started it ..Opened the hood.. and showed a friend what a 460 sounds like..OOOOOHHHHH Yeah

 

Pulled the right side rotor and hub. Pulled the rotors, hubs, spindles and left driveaxle off the spare front end. Gonna take it all into Advance tomorrow to try to get the rotors turned and get the right bearings.

 

the "little" bronco looks real good. (everything is "little " compared to your "big" bronco.). how "little " is she going to be when she is complete?

 

I recovered my seat today will post pic tomarrow

 

Well, it only took 3 parts stores and 3 hours, but I finally found all the bearings I need for the front end. Today I'm going to get the rotors turned and try to put the front end together. Then I can do the rear brakes and shocks. Hopefully not as many surprises on the rear end.

 

started making the brackets to mount the york compressor which will supply the onboard air for my 78 F250

 

Topper is off. Started work on one side of the bed - pulled the trim off; scraped at the rusty areas to clean off the loose paint and found an area where it looks like someone smeared a thin layer of Bondo over the rust - that's all gone now. It looks like parts of this bed had been repainted once before - In a couple of areas, I scraped a layer of metallic green paint off what looks like an older layer of green paint. I acid-treated the rust with muriatic acid and I'm going to let it sit overnight before I pressure-wash that side and get it ready to primer and paint - nothing fancy, just some self-etching primer and some metallic green Rust-Oleum. I'm not going for looks at this point, just want to do something about the rust before it gets worse...

 

pulled my 78 f-250 frame from the weeds on thursday and brought her home. friday removed the rear end, springs and spring hangers as well as the transfer case mount and cab mounts. sunday the front end will be coming off. pictures of my progress are in my gallery seeing how i can't figure out how to load them to a post.

 

Put on new neutral safety switch,so now have back up lights again.But the passenger side socket is bad,so back to the parts store .....#&%@$ .

 

Lit a fire in the shop stove and installed the new door seals I got from Dennis Carpenter.
