You always need a good washer stacker in the shop.

 

3/20/16 took off exterior trim, cleanedx and painted inside rims, painted last of suspension on all 4 cornners. What turned out to be a 15 minute job to take a off a rusty piece of fender flare took 4 hours..lol

 

Used the skid steer to move the ol green parts Bronco, out of the close to the shop line up. Then moved over the rearended parts Bronco. Then the maroon parts truck and then unload the newest parts truck....

 

Got her back on!

 

Nice job man!

 

That's a good looking parts line-up!

 

Damn, that came out great. That blue came out good against that black. Nice job!!!

 

Thanks, because you know a Ford truck guy has to have parts.

She said as long as it is all on the other side of the gate, I can have it however. lol

 

Officially joined the Virginia Chapter of FTE!

 

Added some lights to the rear bumper.

 

Picked up a woodgrain glove box panel, dome light and side view mirror bracket from the junkyard. Will be going back tomorrow to get a bunch more stuff!

 

I installed my power steering box last night in my 1977, 2wd f150. I also will be working on my header installation. Since I was alone during this installation I had to come up with a self help idea, I just thought I would share. After running a tap and die on the bolts & box, I screwed two bolts in the steering box from the opposite side. This allowed me to place the box on the frame and hang in place for installation. next I installed the third bolt correctly through the frame and into the box (only snug). This allowed me to remove one bolt at a time from the box and and snug them into place until the box was ready to tighten down.
I thought this may help someone in the future. If the exhaust was in place, I would have used set screws 7/16-14 (?) x 2" to set the box in place. I will use (2) 3/8-16 x 1" to set the headers in place.

 

Well, I charged my Vintage A/C this morning.



I am setting up my new DTS 9" Rear End (35 Spline / 3.50) with soft lock Detroit, Stange Axles and race studs with Wilwood disc brakes. Hope to have this in my truck by this weekend?





This 9" is not looking too good...fortunately it's out of a 77 I am in the midst of framing off....



That's what I have done and am doing today...
