Cool :)Except one is missing... damn.

Is it safe to re-use the old fittings?

Well if I had a -96 truck I'd be golden... I'm guessing that we are JUST getting to the point where the 97-03 trucks are having this problem, good thing I live in the frozen salt infested tundra and I'm just a little ahead of the curve :D

I am fixing the brakes on my 1997 F150... I had leaky rear wheel cylinders and Front hoses that were are showing signs of not letting the caliper release and bulging under pressure...So easy fix right... until all the brake lines broke due to rust!Now this in and of itself not a huge deal...

So I am having problems with the brakes on my 97 F150, two issues:Only wearing the drivers side pad, drivers side wears to metal, passenger side looks brand new (fronts)Pedal Feel is messed up!!! Sometimes it drops all the way to the floor, other times it is super tight.I have a feeling I...

I would pay the $$$ if I didn't haven a ball joint press...

I'm looking forward to move out of this state to increase the number of nice weather days exponentially lol...

FANTASTIC WORK!!!!Great read, can't wait to see it done.

Here is after the detail.http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=59942After he bought it I detailed it, then the fuel pump driver **** the bed, which in turn caused us to put in 4.10 gears, 93 driveshaft, and a walbro 255lph fuel pump. Also put in aftermarket HID's to fix the bum...

Very good stuff, by far the best tuning option for Fords...Nobodyspecial, you should see your old Mark, it has really gone through a lot of work, it is almost 100%, only a few more minor repairs.

POR is great stuff, prep well and it is damn near indestructible.

Well that was a wash, clay, two stage correction, two coats of sealant, full interior steam cleaning, carpet extraction, interior protection.Good detailing takes a long time!But this truck was exceptionally dirty...

Roughly 20 hours... maybe a little more...

What is wrong with your truck now?Post up some pics of the worst of the worst you have to offer...

I can't beleive Ford still makes anything with a 4x4 and a stick... that is awesome!

I will come detail anyone's truck in any state if you make sure I don't lose money on the deal...

4x4.... is that a 5 speed manual or auto?

I used my Makita 9227C buffer, 3M UK backing plate and 5.5" buffing pads. For compounds I used Meguiars 105 and 205. Then I topped it off with some Blackfire Wet Diamond paint sealant.

I did this detail a while back, thought I would post it up for you. I really love the color, and the FX4 stickers are some of the only ones I have ever liked... enjoy.Exterior Cleaning ONR OPC at 3:1 Diablo at 3:1 Raceglaze XL and SV style brushes VX5000Correction Makita Uber Green and Blue...

Headliner cleaning is a pain... you don't want to damage the integrity of the materials or damage the adhesive that holds them together...I would get some Zep high traffic, well suited to an oil stain... lightly mist it with the cleaner, then agitate with a semi stiff brush, blot with a...

All I can say is that I'm amazed at what dealers are able to find "wrong" with vehicles... with the described repairs that truck must have come in on a tow truck after being pulled from a field...

Oil doesn't develop sludge from sitting... it develops it from heating, cooling, getting contamination in it, water, etc...If you have a bottle of oil in your garage and you leave it there for ten years, what would you expect to find when you open it?

BC CC... so much easier to maintain... holds up just fine if you take care of it!

And I actually thought about being a tech at one point.... man I am glad I changed that decision... props to anyone who makes their living turning wrenches!

I've been watching this one on the HAMB....

Wow that truck is clean!Very worth fixing, should come out great.

I've painted many interior parts... Of all the paints I have used SEM paints along with the SEM adhesion promoter is a combo full of win!

Proper maintenance is a must... I hate when I have to skimp on the maintenance due to budget constraints...

Sounds like a fun build!
