Got the solenoid installed but I think I have the distributor off 1 tooth

 

Got the rad on the 65 holding antifreeze now...........................I think.

Got the donor box set on my 75. I wanted to get it off the ground for the winter.

 

I just got myself a 68 f100 that needs a little love and it will keep me out of trouble when I'm in alberta without the family.So I'll keep ya posted.

 

Sounds awesome Tony. Need to get a few pictures for us to drool over.

I broke an exhaust manifold bolt this afternoon. Now not only do I have a cracked manifold now I have a broken bolt as well. Oh and it was the first one I tried.

 

Get a pic in my garage in a few minutes or so Chris. I'm tryin to track down some leather buckets in calgary right now.It should be a real pita to make them fit,but that's a great excuse to sip a few beer figuring out.

 

Yep. That has to be a 3 or 4 beer job in my books.

 

I just put a pic in my gallery,can you post it in here Chris?

 

Doesn't look too bad at all Tony.

 

It seems to have the same problem my trucks have. The some of the tires seem to be flat on the bottom.

 

The truck has been sitting for 15 years,hasn't been started in 3-4 (I still haven't started it) there is only one bad rust spot on the drivers front quarter and some surface on the front of the hood. other wise it is solid straight metal.The po said there is 3k on the tranny(c6 out of a farlane) and 20k on the motor(original was a straight 6) it is also missing the seat.

 

It looks to be in pretty decent shape. Probably just need a little fresh fuel in the tank and a little priming at the carb.

 

Im going to pull the plugs and lube the bores by hand before I fire it up.

 

Probably a good idea.

Looks like a good find though. Hard to find oldies that don't have a lot of issues.

 

My truck is in bodywork 2 towns over but I did get to the wrecking yard this past week and pulled a wiring harness and windshield for my 1978 4x4, Ford of course

 

I put on a chrome beauty ring. Have to find 3 more that match. Should be working on other stuff but kind of distracted by shiny things.
