I'd like to do those white gauge face place too. what LED bulb did you choose or would you choose from that same website? I do have tons of LED strips laying around tho.. RC days.

O. today I got a new windshield and replaced the stock gasket. The original windshield had a scratch.. and was old. ;)

put the heads on my 460 along with oil pump and pan masked off the important stuff and shot her all in Ford Blue as soon as i get the other motor out i plan on either doing the intake, waterpump, fuel pump and other essentials in either black or an aluminum color of paint hopefully it looks good when i am done... i got a new phone and i havent figured out how to get it to send pics to the internet other than my facebook account and i would rather not send them that way once i get it all figured out there will be pics

Annoyed
 
so I dropped my 390 HIPO in my 76 F-100 and was going to put my new wheels on when the middle bore of the front wheels wouldn't fit over the locking hubs and onto the spindles as the spindles are too thick. What can I do? Are there smaller spindles I can get? :'(

Smoken, my vote is for silver, even hammered silver. Good luck with it, hope it all goes smooth for you.

Finally got my truck moving under its own power for the first time in over a decade. Changed transmission fluid and filter.. Filled it up and ran it for a while..put it in drive and nothing .. Put it in reverse and a few seconds later it shifted into reverse..needed more fluid.. Tried drive again and about a min later it shifted into drive..now it goes into reverse and drive like it's supposed to.

welded in driver side quarter panel on the box.

Ordered 3G alternator to finish my underhood wiring. I stripped all the unnecessary circuits, wired in a fuse panel from a '96 F150, wired my headlights and horn through relays and built a heavier guage headlight harness. The difference in brightness is crazy, it'll be even better when I get my new alternator in.

I was able to get the tilt steering put in and got the drivers side window regulator put as well. Also got the wiring issue with the coil wires sorted out. The truck is coming along.
