What did you do to your Dent today

[Turtle400]

Nice work. Which truck is this ? I've soldered those floats in the past.

Soldered Floats, Why? every ford dealer in the country carries them. mine cost me 8.00 and he had 13 in stock.

A 5 minute repair vs a hour to go to the store and back ?

Isn't it bad for a vehicle to sit for as long as yours does without driving it?

It's not the best thing in the world. But then you read about someone pulling a car out of a garage after 30 years and its fine.

Yeah that's true......I've been told by mechanics that things like pumps and such should be turning off and on.....seals need to be lubricated to avoid cracking, etc. I try pulling my dent out 2 or 3 times in the middle of winter when my driveway is clear of snow after a few sunny days and that's on top of starting it at least every other week and letting the engine temp get up to normal range.

Lost second gear after a 5000 RPM pull. Pulled it apart to find that the adjusment wedge for the intermediate band fell out due to somebodies misadjustment at some point. Band lining is quite nice.

Couldn't handle my big bad 390!

Going to reassemble with a new valve body from Broader Performance. The cost for me to rebuild my VB setup the way I want it (firm and quick) is almost as much as a professionally setup unit from him, so I'll go that route.

Picked up the new side saddle gas tank for the truck today, going to install tomorrow. ( Oh Joy )

 

[Workin' Rig]

Washed her all up and drove it to town to run errands. EPA be damned

 

[Turtle400]

Well got the gas tank in, ( Advance Auto, made in Canada tank ) It 4 hours to put it in, worse fitting tank i have ever seen. i had to beat and bend the lip all over the tank the weld lip was 1 inch bigger then the old tank.
I am glad i painted the tank cause it is never coming back out, i am just glad its done.

 

[Workin' Rig]

I bought my tank from autozone. Fit like a glove. It has a rear tank though.

 

[Turtle400]

I found a guy parting out a 78 bronco, so i snagged the steering column and the two factory green door panels. for 25.00

I did a check on the fuel tank install, and found my front tank strap loosened up, after driving to get parts.

 

[Dirky]
