I hate when work gets in the way of personal projects, any ways I removed the firewall and front half of the floor pan and am now in the process of figuring out how best to install the 1999 stuff, I did test fit the floor pan and it fits pretty nicely but there will have to be a little sheet...

[/URL][/IMG]Got the cab and bed in the shop and started to work on it and test fit the 99 dash, doesn't fit too bad, but will have to do a little trimming and fine tuning but shouldn't be a problem.
That sad truth is all our beloved gen 6 vehicles are 40 years old and wiring does break down over a long period of time and also the factor of people cutting and splicing into the original harness, your best bet is to spend the money and get yourself a complete harness kit so you know it's all...
Has anyone purchased a set of new aftermarket head lights for our 73/79 ford trucks and if so, what brand ? how did they fit ? and how clear and bright are they ? Looking to buy some but not sure where or who to go through.
I know I need to get some pictures up, will work on that tomorrow, I got the 99 cab to the house and started gutting it, also got the front fenders and core support sand blasted as well as getting the rear doors gutted and ready for sand blasting. The 7.3 PS and transmission have been removed...
So the bare cab and bed are at the sand blaster and I was lucky enough to pick up a 1999 rolled crew cab that has the limited interior in it, front bucket seats and center console and rear bench, with power fronts and heated seats and power windows that I hope to be able to use. I will get some...
Just a little up date, got the dash pulled out and am working on getting everything else gutted and hopefully it will be at the sand blaster here in a couple of weeks. Going to go and pickup the short box I bought and get it ready for blasting as well. I was checking out the newest issue of...
Just a little update, got the whole front clip removed and the 460 out and no. 1 cylinder the piston looks like a wood pecker went to town on it and one of the valves face is totally missing. took the front windshield out and low and behold there were a bunch of rust holes where the seal and cab...
Have done some research over the past year and have seen this and a couple others and they are all different in how they were done, I hate how they hack the gauge clusters they don't look good in my opinion.
Figured I would start an official build thread on the crew. The front clip has been removed and disassembled and I decided to remove the top end of the 460 that had been transplanted into who knows how long ago and as I suspected it is a reman. All cylinders are rusted up and No. one cylinder...
Has any one purchased and used any of the wiring kits out there for the dent side trucks like painless or American auto wire, I am going to purchase one but would like to hear from those of you that have first hand experience and what the good, bad and ugly is about them?
yeah, another one saved, but I don't need any more. I ordered the idler pulley and belt for the A/C , it should be here today, kind of curious if it works.
