As I recall, it looks the same. I'll see if I can get you some pictures, too. I wonder if it would be easier to make pump mounts for the Ford pump than to try an adapt the hoses?

I wasn't trying to brag, Rich. I just like getting stuff done. I feel like a slacker when not much gets done. I feel better if I can make some headway in a days work. We'll have Tim on picture duty when we do the body swap on Ka'Bluey. It looks like this weekend would be a great chance to get that knocked out Bob. You up for it? I'll bring my Superman suit so we can pull the cab and maybe get some paint on the back side/inside of the cab.
..... I have to do something, I hate being behind the curtains
. IF it really clears and warms up like the weather guessers are saying. I'm gonna see about getting that front bumper off, and get the seat unbolted etc etc on the red truck!

Alan I know that just bustin your chops, lol. UNK BOB is on pic duty NO LIFTING FOR HIM!!!!! That means NO CORNER OF THE CAB, remember his back, I do not want him down and out when I get back. He got my cab cart and the bed lift spacers today.
And YOU take it easy also there Alan, no one needs to get hurt on this project. I need everyone 100% for mine lol. Er.. I mean the FTE G2G/wrench fest when I get back home.
I think will all the years of knowledge and experience we all together can get quite a bit done in a good hard long day on "Her" rig, followed by some BBQ.

Home from orientation and am already getting hit up for old for parts lol. Supposed to see if anyone has a old 9" they would be willing to part with and for how much. Guess one of the managers is working on a 30 something rat rod and wants ford parts for it.

Howdy, howdy boys and girls.
All is well in KC. Got done a few minutes early, and have the house to myself for almost an hour.
Gee, it's quiet when my redheads aren't home.
