I'm still waffling though, I'd like to get my A/C working someday...so any recommendations on a 12V compressor?

 

[cipsmithers]

Thanks Chris...I guess.

Be sure to take pics

Damn...that's nice, and exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

So...anybody have any winter plans for their Dent?


I figure once I get home and have a paycheck, Red deserves a complete front end rebuild. She'll get a new set of rubber too. She'll probably get a nice interior refreshening...the carpet is absolutely terrible.


I figure the Bronco could stand to get a gear swap to 4.56's. I also plan on swapping out the current 4" lift with 6" springs all the way around. She'll also need some rear window help too.


Given, this is based that I'll have a pay check coming in.

The inside floor of mine is getting sanded and sealed.Hopefully with sound deadening something.
Then new preformed carpet.
This too , depends on the income at the time.

Depending on what your using it for you could get an air compressor off a Lincoln, they used it to air up the air bags for the suspension.

Park 'em till Spring.

Ah yes, the determining factor on finishing my crew.

Not much here except Parked also. I will probably work on saving up for some new chrome and fix a few bugs that have popped up after the first winter of driving, but nothing major. I'd also like to figure out what I can do to have an aux. fuel tank since I have a dual tank bed.

I hope you can move your bed in from the driveway too. I can see the head board in your picture., Did the wife make you sleep out there with your truck ?

Makin sure punk kids dont steal the liqour out of the tank.

Thanks for that necessary contribution.

 

[TexasNomad]

um.. wlcome!

 

[73F100Shortbed]

I will be driving mine through the winter and maybe do some simple things to it.

 

[LEB Ben]

Quick question...how do you tighten the gear selector on the column of these trucks?

 

[Mil1ion]

Is the gearshift round pin hole oblong ?

NO

Is the lever really sloppy ?

YES

Is the Coil spring that pushes against the lever still there ?

 

[LEB Ben]

Well Dennis, you answered the only questions I could answer. But judging on how it feels vs. others I've had, I'd say no. So then I need to replace that spring. Next question...how do I gain access to it?

 

[Mil1ion]

Pull steering wheel
Pull TS switch
Pop the round pin out and remove lever

The Spring should hit you in the eye.

This is all I can find right now.

I deleted a bunch of stuff from photobucket due to theft and moving them over to webshots

 

[LEB Ben]

Thank ya sir...didn't realize it would be that simple to get to.
