Good Morning Everybody!
This weekend Tiff is dragging me camping. We're leaving on Friday night, so absolutely nothing is getting done over the weekend.
I found a '54 Ford Customline on the list pretty cheap, so I may investigate that at some point. I'd really like to hold out for a Fairlane or a Torino, but the early '50's cars are cool too, (and MUCH cheaper). Not like I need another project, but hey, you know me. I'm always looking for the next big thing.

If not, it will at least be inside the shop till the following monday.
This thursday I have to help spread and finish the concrete floor for the 18x22 add on to the xbro-inlaws shop.
Then this weekend I have to help relocate my mom back down here to her place, she is tired of staying with my sister.
So much for keeping any work momentum on the bronco.

Alan I'd apreciate it alot, but i don't even know if I'll have time to go pick it up this week if you did get it done.
I'm so booked up this week with side work, I don't even know if I can go to my Dr.on Wed. after work, to show him all these unexplained bruises I have all over my body. I'm supposed to report anything like this or any bleeding to him.

Should I press the trigger on the rest of the wiring? No issue at all....
Body mount bushings...any of these include the hardware? I would rather have all new stuff...and I forget if prothane, or polyurethane was the good stuff?

Good Morning Everybody!
I just ticked off the girls. Alice is blocking in the Dodge and I told them I didn't feel like moving my truck so they could get out, and that they should plan on taking the bus.
.......if you don't feel like doing your chores, .....I don't feel like moving my truck.
I got the steering column mostly mounted in the C-cab last night. I have one more bracket to make. Two things are painfully clear to me. .....I need an anvil and I need to replace my vise.
Off to the car lot today, then I get back to that big silver thing in my shop after that. We'll see if we can make it stop tonight.
Jeff, I think the later model engine harness won't do us much good, but if the connectors are the same, it may.

Jeff, Energy Suspension has a fairly good rep. You need to provide the hdwr.
Energy Suspension Parts: Ford F250 4WD, Ford F250 4WD 1979
Energy Suspension 4.4104 Body - Frame Mount Bushings Made by Energy Suspension
Also Jeff remember the red crew cab Ford diesel (back row) we got your other piece of harness off of? Anything else off of of it might work?

Alan, ok, i might have found a website that has a ton of what I am looking for...or so it seems.
car-part.com seems to have the 91 7.3 e4od complete engine harness and other stuff....so I am going with that when they open in the morning unless you have anything different Alan.
