  4. How to not buy a truck off craigslist.

    It's really good to see you doing this. More and more of these old trucks hit the crusher every day. One auto wrecker I normally visit for Dent parts recently crushed most of them, leaving only what's left of a super cab they have sitting on blocks... Probably wasn't room for it on the tractor...
  5. A project on the side

    I don't seem to be able to edit my previous posts. I changed some pictures locations on PB, and I'd like to fix the picture links. Any help?Here is some progress that I've made over the weekend. A bunch of parts came in as well! Still waiting on three hub seals and front wheel cylinders..Not...
  6. Towing with 5.4

    Back when I had my pre-phaser 5.4, we took it over 4000KM to pickup my Dent. My 7700 F150 didn't give a crap about the truck and trailer behind it. I took two of my Chevy biased friends with me, and they were both suprised and thoroughly impressed.What can I say, Ford makes a good product...
  7. A project on the side

    Clear coat the patina? I've never really thought about it, maybe something worth looking into. I do like the weathered look that this truck has, but definitely wouldn't want it to get worse!I like your thinking Justin, I might swap back to the 70 grille. I think it would suit the truck well...

  9. weirdest damn trans leak ever

    the T/C seal on my C6 leaked a nice size puddle on the floor over the winter months, as my truck sits in storage.. This was a brand new seal with maybe 200 miles on it. I was pretty ticked off, thinking I'd have to pull the transmission again.. Got it home in spring, and since then it's never...
  10. Who still "works" their 73-79's??

    Thanks guys, this was late at night, just getting off the lake! First time this year.Derek.
  11. A project on the side

    Thanks dudes. I was surprised at how little rust this truck had, being a farm truck and all.Good call Roy, those little guys are handy all over the place!Making a rock auto and Dennis Carpenter order tonight I hope.Derek.
  12. A project on the side

    Bought a 70' F250 out of ND a couple months ago. I've started to do a bit of a mechanical restoration on the truck. I want to turn it into a mechanically sound work/hunting truck. It's quite solid, as the pictures will show, other than some floor board rot.All four corners will be completely...
  13. Who still "works" their 73-79's??

    Do you see it? :)Also drove it to the city last weekend and went for supper with a couple of my friends. Over 170 miles I averaged 11.3 MPG, Not bad for a 300-325 H.P. 390 FE. It's only been getting better, as this engine only has 2000 miles on it since I built it.Derek.
  14. Who still "works" their 73-79's??

    That is the one! Appreciate the kind words man! Can't believe I went for it either, but 3/4 ton dents are almost extinct in my area! :rofl:Derek.
  15. Who still "works" their 73-79's??

    Thanks guys! I don't think I'll ever be able to drive her in the winter or through a mud hole, but when it comes to hauling and towing, I won't shy away!Derek.
