Put new motorcraft battery in and changed the windshirld wipers





1990 F350 with 460 5 Speed Stick 4:10 Gears

 

changing her oil today and seeing what else i have time for, also cleaning all the stuff out of the bed, and reattaching my steering stabilizer

 

did some work to the fenders I am using to make my stepside bed with. Filled in one of the gas filler doors since I only run one tank. Filled in some small marker light holes too.

Bought a XLT bench seat with the folddown armrest out of a 96 f150 for 100 bucks in excellent condition in a junkyard along with a new headliner, sun visors, carpet that goes on the back of the cab, and the guy threw in the 96 xlt dome light and cup holders. Then I put one of them leather steering wheel grips with the string on the wheel. The interior looks brand new except for the crack on the dash. The seat has power lumbar control which I'm gonna be wiring up soon. Let me tell you, that bench seat is a hell alot more comfortable than that vinly bench.

 

My '87 is an auto... Just take hills in second, then first, then finally use neutral as I finish stopping, to take power away from the wheels, at least when the pavement's dry. In bad weather, it's shifting all the way. It's more of a semi-automatic anyway, I have to help it shift.

 

but see i dont like taking hills in second. so going from 4th/5th to second is out of the question.

i havent had my truck in the snow yet. im kinda wishing this happened closer to winter that way i can have some fun

 

Baught the right tools to get out the vlve cover bolt that some idiot twisted off last night (myself). Goanna give it a whirl tonight.

 

Finally got the TreadWright 31" MTRs mounted....after I washed all the mud off from getting stuck last night. Also fixed the tailgate handle that wasn't working, installed the radio I got off of ebay and jury-rigged a return spring for the e-brake pedal.

 

The XLT seat is great. Thats what my truck has. My previous F150 was a 95 XL and had the plain seat. Back in the late 90s I swapped that seat for an XLT seat.

I also have a newer dome light in my truck is much better than that 80s style one they continued using. I can't stand that light.

Contrats on getting your interior spruced up!

 

Thanks TexasGuy001.

I can't believe how comfortable it is now to drive my truck. Nice truck you got there. looks clean. what part of texas you from?

 

Just fixed the twisted off valve cover bolt, came out really easy and replaced valve cover gasket, set the timing. running like a top for now anyways..lol..

 

well snice i started driving her agian i figured id start tuning her up to take on all the chebys who think there hot **** till i pull up lol and smokem on 37s lmao. Put in 3 new u joints pita. Install a new super coil. I would suggest a new coil to anyone with alot of miles on their truck. made a really big difference. and changed her oil.

 

Yeah those regular bench seats are just uncomfortable. I'm near Austin.

Don't leave the inflatable lumbar inflated when the truck is parked in the sun on warm or hot days. The bags can expand and pop.

 

is 305,000 alot of miles? just wonderin.....

 

Do you have that many on your truck? I have 270+ on mine.
