On the stock valve covers the PCV valve is on the drivers side. It goes in on top of the oil filler cap. The one you're talking about on the passenger side is just an open elbow.

A pic would help, but that sounds like something the PO might have done to keep debris out of the elbow. IIRC that elbow is suppose to connect to a hose that runs up to the stock air cleaner and it acts like a breather.

Hey those pics look familiar, nice job. Welcome to the site Tony.

Kinda have to go by feel and visual inspection. If its leaking, rotted out or takes very little force to compress or extend, I would look at replacing.

What do you mean by 2.75 daily driver?

Just the extreme heat and cold would take its toll on them back there, not to mention other things rolling around. The best place for them would be on a shelf in someones garage or shop. Only you can be the judge of their condition, so I would say they maybe worth 1/3 the price of a new gasket...

I'll give you 3 banana peels for it. If its NOS, most likely their dried out or damaged, especially if they're from behind you're seat.

Yep, its a factory option. Not bad for $20.

Looks good. Never woulda guessed those were bathroom handles, they look pretty good on there.

Cool, where did you find that?

Well I was thinking you could make some simple stencils or buy some if you can find em. Then air brush those scratch/claw marks in red and finish with some black/grey shades and shadows. I think it would really go well with you're paint color and theme. They would look cool in various areas like...

I kinda liked you're "Please dont feed the bears" idea. You said you had an airbush, so I was thinkin bloody claw marks would be right up you're alley and they would be easy to do yourself.

The farm gas I get is E10 (89 octane). I just rebuilt the motor (needed rings and main bearings) in my 76 Case 1537 skidsteer that has been running E10 for a few years now. There were no signs of wear, burnt pistons, corosion or any damage to the fuel supply and system. It was one of the...

Just givin ya some crap. Its good the mods here have a great sence of humor.

Rick, didnt that pic of that fat kid get you in trouble on another site?smilietease I think a couple more coats of clear would really make it look good and give you more protection.

Mine was 5700# when it was pretty much stock. Now it may be 5850# with lift and other things done to it.

I could be wrong but I always thought the rims like Ranger's were called hurricane's and the rims like mine were turbine's (with more fins). They say Western Wheel on the backside of the hub mounting surface.

Thanks, they are Western Wheel Turbines. They were a pretty popular rim in the 70's and 80's. I havnt seen a set like mine (with as many fins) in quite some time. Usually you will find the type pictured on Ranger's bronco (before the resto).

Yeah, thanks Buck. Mines pretty nice if I do say so myself, WAS all origional 54,000mi when I got it, 62,000mi today. I've just done some things to it to make it more to my liking. Motor, lift, gears, locker, tires, and some small extras. Its by no means a hardcore wheeler, just a fun play toy.

^^^Thats rsalter66's buddy, eastridgefarm and his rare highboy edition bronco.

Those rims I posted a pic of are Eagle Alloy's, and are only about $140 a rim. Really you would only need 4, cause you would never tell you're rear inners were still steelies.

I think these would look awsome on either of you're trucks.

It does look pretty weak, but I'd like to see TRUCK'S get ahold of it and make it more capable and better looking.

Heres what Rick said soon after the whole thing happened. Laughed pretty good the first time I read it. smilietease "I hit a deep hole I didn't see and I snapped that steering linkage I made when the spring compressed like a biotch I hit it so hard it threw my fat arse up into the roof and...

Just dont hit any potholes with it when you're done (you know what I'm talkin about). Howd that go again with you're f250 Rick?

Yeah, shes not too bad, just kinda wonderin whats on her leg? Looks like a roach.:suspicious:When I heard "horror stories" I thought something might of got damaged at the paint shop. Sounds like you got it under control. Again, nice job!

Nice truck. Looks like you got you're old man doin all the work.:) Is that a handicaped scooter in the back?

What horror stories? Lets hear em!

It's not that we dont believe you, its more like we're in shock that someone you're age would have what you do. Do you fix em and sell em, collect them, or what? I think we're all curious...

Again, very nice job on the truck. Let us know what you're dad says when he sees it... By the way, that wouldnt be you in you're sig would it?:)
