does picking up a 1967 f350 motorhome count? Only way I would have gotten one anyway, the original style class c's are sweet.

jredline1984 11-06-2012 08:32 AM

Works for me lol but this thread is useless without pics!!!

jredline1984 12-16-2012 03:15 AM

Put a new %^$#&*g radiator in my '07 after it started spewing antifreeze out.

Kicked it after it started blowing cold air on the hot setting. Looks like its time to replace the blend door actuator.

jredline1984 12-17-2012 08:27 AM

Put new shocks and a steering stablilizer on the 79 so I could drive it to work.

I removed 4/10 exhaust manifold bolts dirvers side 99 SD V10. I have one more on the top and all 5 on the bottom. Any tips, advice or threads on this topic.

Replaced the radiator, serpentine belt, transmission fluid, radiator fluid, and blend door actuator on the '07.

Replaced all four shocks and the steering stabilizer on the '79.

I would hit up the SD forum and see if anyone has posted a topic on it.

Finally got a stereo from Santa. Installed it over the break and now I have tunes. Haven't had any since March last year.

jredline1984 01-03-2013 02:26 PM

Very nice! Post up some pics so we can see!!

jredline1984 01-09-2013 08:30 AM

Had to fix some wires in the '07's door harness that became brittle and broke. Its nice having power windows again.

Cruised around in the yard to try out four wheel drive:

jredline1984 01-21-2013 07:19 AM

Lets see....ripped out the steering column, disassembled said steering column, and am now trying to source thirty year old parts for it.

I also scoured the junk yards for an old Autolite 4100. Wanting something to replace my Edelbrock. I'm sick of all the extra linkage you need to run an Automatic Ford.

jredline1984 01-23-2013 08:27 AM

Still waiting on column parts to show up and carb parts to finish soaking.

jredline1984 01-31-2013 08:21 AM

Worked on soaking the Autolite 4100 some more.

jredline1984 02-22-2013 08:49 AM

Started to remove the oil pan so I can reinstall the front timing cover.

jredline1984 04-11-2013 08:38 AM

Ordered an NOS shift gate from Green Sales for the tilt column. Also been busy sourcing a bunch of other NOS items for said column as well.

jredline1984 06-14-2013 08:15 AM

Just dropped about $300 at Summit for all new tie rods, ball joints, and control arms for the '07. Saved me about $250.00 because I didn't have to use a local parts house.

mont974x4 06-25-2013 08:54 PM

I removed the body moulding from my 91 f150. I need to do a temp repair on some scratches. I am hoping to maybe get it painted next year.

I need to get an alignment. It pulls right pretty hard and has a nasty shimmy around 70 mph.

jredline1984 06-28-2013 08:10 AM

I washed the '07 last night! Now Im just waiting on the rest of my MOOG suspension parts to show up so I can get the 6" Fabtech lift installed :-jammin

jredline1984 07-22-2013 08:40 AM

Swapped front clips on the 79's.

FordManMT 08-30-2013 08:40 AM

Started putting rockwells in my F150

Now that is effing sweet!

jredline1984 03-16-2014 10:32 PM

Installed some new speakers in the '79. It is surreal having music in the old girl.

jredline1984 03-24-2014 08:19 AM

Put new tires on the '79 for Daily Driver Duties....

79CAMOFORD 03-27-2014 09:29 PM

Well boys hope you enjoyed that snow this morning! Made it to Oregon just fine

Spool&Go 10-29-2014 02:53 AM

Hey all!!

Checking in. I just installed a new water pump & heavy duty serpentine belt + coolant flush.

No more coolant leak!

Spool&Go 10-29-2014 02:56 AM

Also recently put on:

.New OEM calipers all around
.Powerstop drilled & slotted rotors
.Ceramic pads.
.X code front leaf springs.

jredline1984 11-06-2014 07:55 AM

Holy Crap it's Bryce!!! Nice to hear from ya bud! Sounds like some great additions to the beast!

Haha. Whats up buddy. Great to hear from you too!


And you bet!


More additions/improvements:


....Made a boost leak detector after being suspicious of a boost leak. Sure enough. Loose boot clamp! - Fixed.


....Removed my PCM and sent it off to DP Tuner for a re-tin and to flash a 100 performance tune onto it


....Removed and put a few fresh coats of plasti-dip spray on my grill. Looks brand new!


....Pulled bed rail caps & tailgate cap off. Used a wire wheel and a drill to grind off the old DIY roll on bed liner (crap) on the tailgate one. Will either have my buddy spray line them or I will plasti-dip them.


....Cleaned engine compartment & outside of transmission & oil pan.






Cant wait to get that PCM back in and go for a drive. Between a new tune and no more boost leak, it's going to feel like a whole different truck.


Also bought a 35 psi Autometer Cobalt boost gauge. I push about 30 psi max so it'll be more accurate and fun to look at in comparison to my 60 psi gauge.

mont974x4 11-12-2014 04:36 PM

I test fit a tounau (sp?) cover on the '91. It won't fit. Turns out to be for a 97-04 F150.

If anyone wants this, hit me up...$50
