What have you done to your FORD today v2

[taxreliever]

^^^very cool.....I did the same thing on my plow truck, but mounted them on the rear bumper as the truck has a decent lift and am able to see more with it on the bumper than below......it has a separate toggle switch on it, so when I plow, I just leave it on all the time.....it's literally like having head lights in the rear....pretty darn awesome....just don't forget to turn them off if you drive down the road...did that a few times; not good!

I wired the lights into the rear back-up light harness. Police are very sticky around here.

Use a relay to the lights or the little low amp switch in the transmission will burn up.

Oh, are you talking about me and my plow truck, Randy?

Same thing happened to my dent with the FORD taillight lights in the letters....was getting too hot, so we put a relay switch in there and all works fine now.

Oh, didn't think there was enough draw to do any damage with the utility lights. I'm betting that switch in the trans is a b_tch to change ? Thanks

changed the trans. fluid in the T-18.

Rebuilt the carb for my Dads truck. Metering block was falling apart and there was a sandy/gritty substance in everything. We bought the carb used, no wonder it ran like crap.

Got the Shelby and bikes ready for winter...full fuel, stabilizer and injector cleaner and a drive/ride to get it through the systems.

Bronco axle is stripped, cleaned and ready for paint and reassembly. My buddy also has a set of 4.56's for the D44 staring at me on the shelf...anyone know of some 4.56's for a 9"??????

Tap her on the front fender and wished good night

 

[LEB Ben]

Axle is underneath, seals are in, shafts are in, ball joints are in...brakes and hubs tomorrow and the Bronco will be good to go.

Tore out the old taillight harness yesterday, which had been hacked to death for a 7-way trailer connection. Purchased a virgin taillight harness from a '73 and spliced in 4way square connections, which were spliced in, soldered and heat shrinked behind the taillight housings. Thanks to advice from a knowledgeable, helpful fellow FTF'er, this project was a sucess!

 

[LEB Ben]

Project ball joint is done...now the Bronco needs a brake booster in the worst way.

Used OldOrange as a tow truck to retrieve "stuck in the mud" lawn tractor.

The Bronco is road legal again. Inspected and licensed. Woot woot.
