I love those headlight buckets. I've looked and looked but cannot find anyplace in the states that sells that conversion and buckets. I'd much rather had glass lights.

That looks real nice Andy - how did you go with the trans issue in the end?

 

[aussie_f350]

Hopefully gettin rebuilt next week

How difficult is it to locate the headlight bezels for those 87-91 Fords? I wonder how killer shipping would be.....

 

[blacksnapon]

didnt fix it. ive drained trans fluid 4 times and changed it, still looks milky from water in it?? any ideas??

If the trans cooler in the radiator is leaking, you'll get water in the trans fluid.

Yeah may have been, gearbox is out now, clutches had come apart from the water and blocked the valve body

Shipping Wouldn be too much but they are hard to get in good condition now, most people go for the American type. I will keep an eye out for you

 

[flareside_thunder]

What do you mean, in good condition? Broken and cracked and stuff? That would be a shame.....I'd much rather have the glass sealed beams. These one piece plastics aren't worth a damn. If they were, I wouldn't have aircraft landing lights on my front bumper. Thanks.

 

[aussie_f350]

They are hard to find not broken. I will try to find you some in good condition

 

[aussie_f350]

Well, gearbox rebuilt, had worn linings off clutches due to water, and broke clamp that holds band on 2nd gear. $800 for repairs. All back in now, test drove today, all good. Surprising power for N/A 7.3, would love to keep it but bigger things are calling!!!!!

 

[aussie_f350]

well truck sold this morning, Got 20k for it. He wanted to get it cheaper but i never budged!! was good truck. I paid $5500 and all up owed me around $13500 so made a decent profit. On to the next chapter!!!

 

[Beach66Bum]

I would have torn into the envelope too!!!!
That's great Andy

 

[aussie_f350]

Haha yeah!! I burning a hole in my pocket already!!

Congrats Andy ..... waiting to see what fills the vacant spot in the driveway next
