    Hurst and Mr.Gasket both make a floor shift kit. Is that what you mean? :DDo -not- buy the Mr.Gasket kit! LOL :)Read over and over where guys bought Mr.Gasket's because it was "cheaper" just to turn around and buy the Hurst too."Mr.Gasket should've stuck with making gaskets! :(" -shifter...
  5. Manual Brakes

    Yes! :/IME they don't need "bench bleeding" the book shows it tho so, I've got an uphill battle here. LOL :)Park the sucker with the nose down and pump it, it will do the same doggone thing while on the truck, it works. :)To bleed the brakes it's a one man job if you want it to be. :)...
  6. What did you do to your Dent today

    To fix leaks, or just fill back, in roof gutter-rails SEM 39387 self leveling seam sealer has been recommended.Any better recommendations out there in FTF land? :)If you'd let me know we could've plopped a '75 Super Cab on there too. ;) Prob'ly not, but if you went down I-10 past Bowie AZ...
  7. My new Project

    Yeah but. ;)Over on FSB those old zinc "head knockers" are the ones we try to get rid of for the more head-friendly ('97 and newer) plastic dome light.The one out of my '91 U150 is in the zinc bucket. And good riddance. ;)Buck, live with it for a while and then -you- decide. xDAlvin in AZ

  10. What did you do to your Dent today

    Mine may not either but my wife might need to take it apart in the future. xDThat's exactly why and only the reason I removed the rivets from the right side now. For her future.Alvin in AZ

  12. Digging into my first F250...

    x2 ...I had a worn out -driven- gear in my '90 F250 parts truck too.It was still working but it was "bouncy" and that drove the speed control crazy (in the Bronco I put it in). LOL :)BTW, DuPont's Multi-Use (in the blue squeeze bottle) works great on speedometer cables and motorcycle...

    Alvin the Chipmunk don't do what he's told and don't follow the rules most of the time neither. :/^^ No washers! They introduce another place for future-slop, IME. vvAnd a new picture for the "I -caynt- pull the transmission by myself" crowd...Hey Gen.5ers and Gen.6ers... ...check...
