honestly, it is getting harder and harder to find these trucks in the yards - they used to be goddamn EVERYWHERE, and I could spend all day pulling stuff but now, I spend an hour or two wandering around before settling on a few broken pieces of trim and going home.

Now that is depressing about the REAL inventory. Agreed, it is hard to find anything worthwhile. I don't mind going out of town if parts are available. SA is about a little to far for a HOPE trip.

Jesus! That'll require a little more work than just a bed and door. That B pillar looks crinkled, and I be worried about the rear axle not sitting right.

The 3 inch round step tubes ? I just put some Westin’s on my truck and they were pretty easy.

Drove it 7 miles to the shop that's going to do my head gaskets, 4.5 miles of that on unplowed dirt roads in the middle of a 3" snowfall.

As we all know, though, the brakes don't work any better on ice no matter how the wheels are powered... that was 1/4 mile from my house at a dirt-road T intersection

and luckily no one was coming. Also the only place a tire so much as slipped.

I like my "new" 4WD!

Completed my Saginaw steering pump conversion. I've got a 1995 f150 4.9 4x4 SC. Found a 95 Econoline 150 4.9 at the junk yard and swapped the noisey Ford pump out. I used the hose off the van, and bolted up to the steering box no problem. I might need the Econoline throttle cable bracket, as it used to bolt to the Ford style pump bracket. Did a flush today, and it's really quiet. Think I got most of the air out. Works great. Very happy

Did you paint that or just clean it? Either way it looks new. Great job. Sandy
