What have you done to your Bump today.

I know there are other threads in other categories. But cant find one for Bumps.

Installed a 79 intermittent wiper switch harness and controller today, plug and play but the shaft has to be shortened and groove to lock **** in place needs to be extended. Easy work with a zip cut. Got off ebay... Took a while to win one. Works like a charm.

Just received my complete engine gasket kit for my FE 360 in the mail about 4 hours ago, so I can tell you what I'm doing tomorrow. :-)

I replaced my stock pushrods with some .080" wall 3/8" diameter COMP units. I bent one last week under normal use so I decided I needed better.

The '70 Lo-Buck Bumpside

I'll play...

The '70 got new wheels and tires... 225/70 on 15x7s and 275/60 on 15x8s. Installed the glove box, washed the window glass and applied Rain-X, and discovered the power port (in place of the cigar lighter) installed by the PO actually works so now the Edelbrock tablet can plug in.

On order for the '71 F250 include detail items - bumper guard seals, arm rests, door pull escutcheons, a battery hold-down kit, and a new windshield washer reservoir... should be here on Tuesday.

cleaned all the glass and then lubricated the hood latch so i don't have to pull with both hands to open it. wheels cylinders and engine gaskets arrived yesterday so that will be on the list for next weekend.

Got my bed lined back up last night and today I'll start messing with my new rear suspension setup. Or pull my fuel tank on my daily driver and figure out low fuel PSI

Today Reworked my lower half of the fan shroud. Cut it in half reattached it with a bracket as it won't go back in with radiator in place. So fix that the easy way.

Already had the coolant in plus to damn heavy to pull back out now.
