The engine has had no major work to it,trans works fine,but leaks out
the seals real bad,that will be my next proj.Would like to install shift
kit.The engine,would like to install mild cam,headers with dual exaust...

 

[NEWFIE F-150]

all that sounds good....but as to trans, swap in a manual

Yea,I would rather do that,its more reliable...I will see what I can do on
a swap with one,because I would rather have a manual...

 

[NEWFIE F-150]

yup...they're nice

 

[cbaker65]

Heres the color that Im going with,already have it locked
into my ebay,just got to pull the trigger on purchase...

 

[NEWFIE F-150]

not bad

 

[cbaker65]

not bad

Thnx...Yea I think it would spruce up the truck a bit,along with that
smoke gray.
The old paint is real dark burgundy,almost on the verge of being a
maroon color that dont pop..
My primer is a gray,so it may turn out alittle lighter than shown...

 

[NEWFIE F-150]

it'll still look great

 

[cbaker65]

I went an blasted it,now Im going to put degreaser on,let it sit a bit,
an reblast it with presure washer.

 

[NEWFIE F-150]

[cbaker65]

Wow,the rust didnt even have a good bite,its practicly just blows
off....

 

[DNFXDLI]

That cleaned up real nice.

 

[cbaker65]

That cleaned up real nice.

Yea it did,Thnx...

I have the rust desolver or converter whatever ya call it,sense I got it,
I may as well use it,be good in the spring mounts an hard to get areas.
It should be good to go for atleast 12 to 15 years when I can retire,
Then I can take everything apart an strip it.
But right now,I just dont have the time nor building to do so.
I will do the best I can with what I have for now....

 

[DNFXDLI]

That should hold off anything for a long time.

 

[NEWFIE F-150]

oh yeah

 

[cbaker65]

Thnx Guy's....

Well,time to get out there an hit it.
Was watching the forcast,for next week,they are still predicting
temps of nearly a 100 deg....Good for the truck,bad for me...

 

[cbaker65]

Got some more wire brushing done.I cant afford new shocks,so I will
take them off,clean an paint the old ones blue or yellow,which ever
color that I have laying around.Got to take wheels off an wire brush
the hubs,got to wait until friend gets off work to get his jack stands..
