Lets see I picked up dirty but otherwise perfect dash pad, two window cranks, passenger side inside door handle, door lock pulls, windshield trim, back up light sockets a gauge cluster in great shape, wiper **** and a couple emblems. My sister is going to use the emblem for decorations around her house. I pulled the FORD trim piece off the tailgate and gave it to my dad by putting it up over the huge doorway where he puts his work boots on everyday. The price of all of that = Free. My dad is getting rid of the rest of the truck and said I could have whatever I wanted that was left.

 

i lovingly washed and detailed my 78 it's been 2 years since i have given her such good treatment i am so glad i finally got it done

 

used a silver leaf pen on dash





blocked off my old unused ac vents with a plexiglass sheet bought at home depot and painted with vht wrinkle paint

Murder Mat | Extreme Sound Deadener.

 

Sharp lookin rig man!

 

Installed mud guards.

 

Ordered windshield, and back window gaskets and z bar bushing kit. Take care of the install of all of that this weekend if all goes well.

 

Couple of different ways people to do this. I thought about it but then just went solid color, no dent or racetrack trim.

 

I fixed my tach issues (help on another thread), bought some more bolts for my dash and instrumental panel that were missing, fixed a power steering leak (temporary fix only), and attempted to figure out how I disconnected my speedometer along the way!

 

I solved my trucks brake dragging problem that I've been fighting off and on. Turns out the pushrod was mis-adjusted on the brake booster causing the brakes to stay engaged. Took me like 15 minutes to fix, and I've spent a couple months off and on replacing parts to get it to quit.

Expensive, but at least the brake system is 100% now.

 

I bet you did not get it connected correctly, they normaly do not have a habit of coming loose. Once you get it reconnected, make sure the white clip ring locks on.

 

Changed the oil. Bought a solid back glass, and installed my gasket around it after some swearing and sweating its ready for me to attempt an install, possibly tomorrow. I also received my windshield gasket and z bar bushing kit, also a project for tomorrow.
I forgot I also scrubbed that new-to-me dash pad and I must say it looks pretty darn good.
