It is the originals. I was surprised by Santa and got a new face shield, a really nice welding jacket, a new belt sander and a set of files! My wife is awesome! I will get back at it next week. Hope everyone has a good New Year.

 

Nice score.

 

I just need to get back at it! I want to make more progress. I have been looking at several different types of insulation for the inside of the cab. The "KillMat" type is what I am going to use (Amazon basics brand). I plan on doing the floor, fire wall, roof and inside the doors. What have you all used or recomend?

 

I used the kilmat. One package of 36 sq. ft. worked for me. I did not do the firewall though. My firewall cover was already in the truck and there was no way I was going to pull it back out. I did the floor, ceiling, inside the doors, and behind the fuel tank. It gave it a good sound compared to the empty can sound it had. I have enough left over to do the tranny cover but Im not sure if I am going to do it or not. I got one of the little rollers for it as well. It was pretty cheap, around 8 0r 9 bucks and it worked good.

 

Thanks sir, I really appreciate the info.

 

Well after finding out that KillMat is made in the Russian Federation I will be buying the Eastwood brand of insulation.

 

Well damn... I am surprised it is still available to purchase. Plenty of other of similar quality.

 

I could see myself going straight into a political rant on that one. I did look that up as well after you said that and sure as sheet it is.

 

I was floored when I saw that. If it does anything to slow things I will try. Like you said, there are plenty of other products to use.

 

So I got back out to the garage this weekend. Got some more things put away and did some more no the bracket for the power steering pump. Now I am trying to decide on the 79 pump on the 70 pump. Not sure which one is better to use? I like the old style all metal 70 one, but the newer 79 one may be better? Any suggestions please?

 

Saginaw P pump is my recommendation. Used in Ford vans.
Not sure differences in 70/79.

 

Thanks Justin.

Here is a 1970 Power Steering Pump


Here is a 1979 Pump


I believe the 70 unit is a Saginaw style.

 

The 70 is the Ford/Thompson power steering pump.

 

I used them all on my 77 bronco. Canned ham (Thompson) is OK with stock sized tires and no front locker. The plastic pumps are loud and about the same. Neither have the pressure needed for big tires. Saginaw pump is easy to modify for increased flow and pressure and has lots of reservoir shapes available.

Given your application I would use the Thompson. Pull pulley and reseal.

 

Thanks, I am running 37" military tires on 16.5 wheels.
