So about 9 years ago I bought a truck. Those that have been around may remember it, new guys won`t.http://www.fordtruckfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27792Then I put a 460 in it. http://www.fordtruckfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29947A Dana 60 soon followed to replace the TTB...

So my boss has had this D500 since the early 2000s. It`s a retired Department of Natural Resources truck. It still has the log book in the state issued door pocket. He bought it from a guy down the road, puttied it up, then sprayed it all in TSC International white.It`s pretty much been...

Thought I`d post this up since there is`nt a lot going on these days and every little bit helps, right? Story post coming, but are`nt all of mine?? :rofl:So. I`m never satisfied. I have a real problem with impulse control also. Y`all may or may not remember Big Blue, my 460 swapped, Dana 60...

So a week ago this past Saturday I was over at my buddies house. He is in the scrap business. He said he had just got in a 92 F-150, and I should take a look at it. So we wander back to his junk yard and I`m expecting a 4x2, Custom, 300, rotted out pos.Oh, it`s got a 300, and a 5 speed. But it...

Welp, I bought me a new play toy Friday. It`s an 84 F-150 Flareside 4x4. It`s got the tower of power under the hood, a c-6, and some rust. And a bordello interior.:D I drove it home for $400 bucks.I improved the looks 100%. Sorry for the crappy night pic, it`s been a busy day.Picked...

So we are looking for something to replace our Explorer. For quite a while the little woman has been saying that when we get something else she wanted a truck. Well our daughter has side swiped a guard rail and ditched the Explorer three times all in the last two weeks (long story, all I have to...

I snagged this center cap out of my buddies junk yard a couple of years ago. It appears to be stainless, is stamped with a Ford logo, and is for 8 lug wheels. It is also a push through style cap. I only have the one, and would really like to have another as I have some Eagle alloy wheels that...

I`d brap brap this all over the place pretending Riggs and Murtaugh were chasing me. Right up until some quaint Beemer issue turned it into a lawn ornament. smilietease http://nmi.craigslist.org/cto/4414388773.html

I`m thinking about getting a remote starter installed on the wifes Explorer. She just started a new job that has odd hours, and well, it`s cold up here. I only want a basic system, and I`m going to have it installed because any more my time seems like it`s worth more than my money.Just been...

Isn`t that more than it went for new? http://nmi.craigslist.org/ctd/3703137420.html

So this happened Sunday while plowing.It would appear that a previous owner broke the front axle housing. And instead of replacing it, we`ll just weld that up. It`ll be fine. Not so much. I`m just really glad it didn`t happen the day before when I hauled two bundles of slabs to my Uncle...

Ok, to start off, many years ago I found a wiring diagram for Bosch type relays that went something like this, 30=12 volt battery power, 85=ground, 86=12 volt from a switch, 87=the load ie a fan. This is how I have my fans wired.Lately however, I have noticed that that isn`t how other people...

I bought myself a 71 F-100 tonight. My friend that scraps got it on a pawn deal. It`s got the tall tower of power, a creeper 4-speed, it`s 2wd, pretty solid, and it runs and is driveable. It just need some brake work. I`ll get some pics tomorrow or Sunday.

I was down at my neighbors house yesterday, and he was showing me some of the stuff he had done, so I snapped a pic. Thought ya`ll might like it. I`m putting a 400 together for it. The heads are done, we ordered a 600 Holley, Edelbrock intake, a Lunati Voo Doo cam, and some other stuff a few...

I was going thru a drawer I hadn`t touched in a few years and found some pictures that have been AWOL for awhile. They are some pics of some of my other Fords I`ve had. Please excuse the crappiness, I don`t have a scanner so I used the digital cam.This was my first truck. In fact my grandpa...

Okay, I stepped right into a good one this time. It`s an 89ish Ranger with a twin plug 2.3. It`s a racer in the four cylinder class at the local circle track. How the darn thing even runs is beyond me because it doesn`t have an O2 sensor, along with no intake air temp sensor.Anyways, on to the...

Somebody REALLY should have had their testes monkey stomped for this abortion. And then they should have been removed from the gene pool.Oh, and it`s in Michigan with a clean New York title, but what appears to be a Florida plate? Hmm. http://nmi.craigslist.org/cto/3232298887.html

Well, they`re not for everyone, but when I was younger all the cool kids :) had them, and frankly, I still think they look pretty neat.Next up is making the nerd bars functional, and losing the ugly ***** rear bumper.

Look in the engine pile at the junkyard. I`ve scored a Performer 460 intake for $20, and now these C9VE-A heads for $50. My book says that they are CJ/PI heads with 2.24" intake valves, but my tape measure says 2 1/8". I think my book is wrong. Either way, they have smaller chambers and don`t...

So I hauled some scrap to the junkyard today. And since I can`t go there without walking around... Here`s my $25 dollars worth of goodies.Dual 3" tailpipes for 80-96 Ford trucks, dual snorkel cold air air filter housing (custom, I built it), MSD Super Conductor wires and cap, and M/T valve...

Ya`ll may remember that my F-250 had engine issues a while back. So after calling around and finding out that I could have one for $475 (217,000 miles) or a bunch for $600 with over 100,000 miles, I decided that I was going to put a new one together.Then I remembered that the yard in town had...

My uncle has an 87 Bronco (white, so he calls it OJ). 302 efi, c-6. It quit while going down the road one day. It doesn`t have spark or fuel pumps.I checked relays. They have battery power, but no key on power. So I started checking wiring. I found, breaks and corrosion on eec grounds at...

Well, in addition to it`s mains rattling, the big 351 lost oil pressure tonight.So much for that $200 jy engine that "runs good". :hammer:
