Post a pic of your dent

[UNRULEE]

Ok here's another. Yes I am from Ford country, and keep good company. The grooms truck is on the left and the rest are the groomsmen.

We all left nice smokey burnouts leaving the church! Turns out there was a cop about a block away. He just turned and went the other direction!

Now that's a good lookin pic. Is that blue dent the same one that was in the first pic of your last post? Buddy of yours...relative? Specs????


Oh yeah...and glad to hear the cop was smart enough to leave well enough alone...haha.

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

I like that picture one of these days when I get some buddies out here to help Ill line all of mine up and take a pic like that.

The blue one is a friend on mine's that I've known since the 3rd grade.

It's a 1978 F150 Lariat. He bought it with the engine, trans and T-case sitting in the box.

At time of the pic it was sitting on a 4" Trailmaster lift and 35" BFG A/T's, has a rebuilt 400 (he knows what's up) and C6. I put the 9" together for him. He painted it about 10 years ago, it's actually a Dodge color, Viper blue. It originally was silver with red in the middle. It is as nice as it looks. He did all of the bodywork, new boxsides, painting the interior to match, himself, all of it.

He also redid the body on his parents 77 150. So when the time comes to redo the body/paint on mine I know who'll be guiding me!

Ok, while packing I found some photos.

The day that I brought her home! Someone please verify that the foglights in this pick that I tossed in the garbage the day after this pic WEREN'T factory.

It just looks good in this one.

Guess who's taller now!

Turning over 40,000 on the clock.

What a completely stock, smogged 400 looks like.

A little 'wheelin.

Might want to check your temp and oil pressure it dont look healthy.

No I can't say that I did boss man?
but i'm sure it was prudy

HAHA...I thought the same thing, I just figured he had just finished running it. And then just had the key in the on position, cuz the coolant is couped up, thus resulting in the high reading. And if only the key is on, he won't have any oil PSI.

It was on the last page...post #315 I think. Here it is...

Hey Tex,

I was back home and what do I see? OOOOOO, that is a shortbed!
Thought you'd appreciate the pic.

I'm thinkin' 521 with a zf, that'd be fun!

HELLO!!!
That's Beautiful

Fog lights don't look stock to me.

I'm not much a fan of fog lights on the bumpers. I think they look good on a pushbar though.

Oil PSI gauge in the dash wasn't hooked up untill about a month ago. You can see the mechanical gauge at the bottom of the pic.

And yes the temp is high, but it never would overheat. Now with the 4 core, "full shroud", correct thermostat, and new fan/fan clutch she will only get about half way on the gauge.

That's actually a relief. I've ben kicking myself for a while thinking I trashed some valuable original Ford parts.

So you mean to tell me you didn't upgrade to an e-fan...blasphemous.

Am I on your mind Lee????

it'll probably overheat, not to mention the 62hp that it robs

I did put an e-fan on it, SEEEEEEEEEE!!!! It was the largest reason for the 3g alt. It did work great but, whenever it would kick in the truck would run like crap. I asked everywhere why, no one knew. The only thin that I could figure was electrical interference with the ignition. I sold the fan on eBay about a month after buying it and made $20. Went with a new fan and fan clutch and haven't looked back.


Am I thinking of you?

Only when I see pictures of mountains.

 

[UNRULEE]

Also pay attention to the opened up spring clamp in the bottom pic. Eeks out a little more flex.

 

[LEB Ben]

You're a traitor Lee...I don't recall an efan ever accompanying a 400. Us 400 guys have to hold ourselves to a higher standard. At least you swapped it back out and turned a profit.
