hey ranger, you can give me a christmas gift and come install my steering setup , i jacked my truck up yesterday, and found out my entire steering linkage was about to break off, scary.. ...so my mother inlaw gave us our christmas gift early, money!! which helped, i went to 4 different autozones gathering up all the draglinks and tierods, so im changing all those today, plus i got a steering gear from careys ccc salvage for 75 bucks, and traded the whining pump i got from autozone, hopefully this one doesnt whine, now to located a rag joint and im set, Carl is coming over and we are gonna make a day of it, i hope this solves my steering problems i was telling you about at Rons, speaking of Rons,i forgot what week you were shooting for in january for a meet, ill be in florida from Jan 3rd-9th, anything after that should be do-able............

 

I would really like to help, however christmas party, and wedding are on my saturday agenda, this coming after 10 hours at work. if you don't have it by 3 on sunday afternoon, by all means gimme a call, heck, call anyway, I'd love to start planning my attack on the same project.

now all you need is the rag joint and king pins.

merry christmas to all!! and to all a Ford Truck!!!!

 

man thats a busy saturday!! ive been a little busy, got the steering gear,drag links, and pump+ bracket, and rag joint off, managed to get the new steering gear and rag joint in(painted a pretty gloss black), a new high pressure line, and put in the different pump bracket, turns out the bracket doesnt fit right so back to the old one, but lack of daylight forced me to stop...ill probably be back at it after church tomorrow, sometime after 3,if i dont have to take the wife to the doctors first....we will see what the day brings tomorrow, i dont mind the idea of you dropping by, will probably need some help measuring my drag links to ensure they go in right.....fun stuff there.....ill probably get on here and see whats up, then give ya a ring....

 

already installed part of my X-mass. Sylvania Xenarc (sp?) HID lights for the truck came in last week and got them installed last Saturday. Still waiting on 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1's to arrive. Other than that, a North Face stocking cap (wich I have already picked out and gave to the person so they can wrap it and let me open it during X-mass. (gots to keep the ears warm walking to class if it ever gets cold out)

 

Dear Santa,
I have been a very good boy this year and would sure love to receive the following gifts in no particular order:

-New high paying, low stress job.(NASA would be great.)
-A couple of Firestone air bags for the rear of my 78 F150.
-A set of spindles and upper arms from a Mustang II.
-and a box of fine imported cigars.

 

I'd like a couple of front fenders, a 8' bed (without rust) and a driver's door for my newly aquired '76 F250 that belonged to my Dad.

Oh yeah, and some help getting it restored to it's original beauty!

Here's Project Copperhead

Thanks Santa! (Really, I've been a good boy!)
