Well, I got a master cylinder. Bench bled it, pedal is a little better. Need to do complete bleed of the brake system. Will drag my son to assist.

Me too! Replaced the rear brake line tonight.....brakes still suck but she aint leakin' all over the driveway.
Gonna bleed the brakes tomorrow and install the antennas and vinyl decals. I may get my Kenwood TM-D700A installed tomorrow...maybe not. Need to install my Kenwood CD player also. Brakes have to come first...then antennas....Trucks just don't look right with-out big ham radio antennas.

I put new headlights on mine last week because the adjusters were corroded and stripped out. This made the other lights look dull so I used a 3M headlight polishing kit and got all the other lights looking spiffy.
Still working on getting it to run perfect...

Yep. Works fast too. A 500 grit disc, 800 grit disc, a wet disc (grit not known), and a polishing disc with some polish and the lights look pretty good. The corner lights were hazy and now you can see the amber bulb really well. As close to new as I need.The lights are smooth and shiny.

I even polished the bed light/3rd brake light and taillights. Also my rear wheel centers and the front Ford emblem. Not a bad deal for $18.99 +tax. Probably took an hour or so with masking around the lights. You just need a cordless drill and some blue masking tape and you're good.

95 F150 XLT, 4.9-i6, 5 speed manual

Bought this at auction for $360.00 two weeks ago. Up to $660.00 with new battery, starter, new tire and oil change

Today, I replaced a brake line that rusted through yesterday!!!

Still trying to figure out loud knock with "whirring sound" upon acceleration that minimizes with throttle release...

Anybody worked through this?

I would look at the throwout bearing, flywheel, and clutch. Maybe check the flywheel bolts snd that your starter isn't intermittently engaging
