DNFXDLI's 79 F150 Build Part1

[DNFXDLI]

You are gonna have to get in line Don....my car is next and I'm still waffling on something else

 

[LEB Ben]

I'm still waffling on something else

Is that something else another truck or Bronco to build with your spare parts????

 

[Mil1ion]

I think it is about a Bronco.

I'm still waffling on something else

Buying my new rig for an absurd amount of money?

Its all good duncan! Ill even help you out! While your workin on your car, ill come up and deliver my car for the next treatment and ill pick up the dent so you dont run out of parking room.
Just trying to maintain space so you can uhm still park the 750...

Got the transfer case housing back and started to grind down the casting lines etc. Had a drain plug installed in the transmission pan to make life easier down the road.

Power Fist!!!!!!!!!

I never understood why they didn't put the drains in the transmission pans. Looks good Duncan.

 

[DNFXDLI]

Thanks Mark...and I don't know why they didn't either, the aftermarket pans have them!

 

[DNFXDLI]

Another day of blasting, grinding etc. Gas tank straps gave me some thinking to do...to get the "t" bolts out a person would have to drill out the spot welds...no big deal but reassembly would be impossible (welding) after powdercoat and bolts/rivets will not work for both clearance and looks...going to go with dry film instead...same as the nuts and bolts.

Did your wife give you that sun visor cricket for your sunglasses I sent home with her?

I never heard back

 

[Truckin4life]

But lookin good Duncers. Keep up the great work, and when you get a mag shoot. Well, we all know its well deserved!!!

 

[Dirky]

Thanks Mark...and I don't know why they didn't either, the aftermarket pans have them!

I can't change a fluid filter through a drain plug hole...

More good work from you man, good to see!

Thanks Doug! The plan is to get a bunch of stuff to the powdercoat place this week.

A nice night at the Duncan house! I'd be sleeping in the garage!
