What did you do for your ford today?

[reptillikus]

I was gonna say, how the hell did you get it painted today, it's not even 11am yet

 

[Gumbybronco]

Speaking of paint and body work. Painted my truck today

Before:

After:

I'm thinking I like the sage and brown 2 tone without the trim better than the single colors

My kids had two tone diapers like that. JK - keep plugging away

the wife currently thinks it looks like a bruise and I 100% already know she will say my proposed color looks like baby poop

Did some zen balancing today. 1 chain, 2 points, calm and level rejoining soul and body

edit: yup, just showed her the picture "oh, poop brown" damnit woman.

Drove 9 hours round trip to snatch up a deal on a sbf zf5.
Should go well behind the explorer 302 that is destined for the ranger.

That just might need a wee bit of color sanding. 😂

Use the ac compressor for on board air.

Keep or scrap the rest, leaves don’t take up much space and are good to have around.

Storing the compressor:

I don't want to drive that far for one. But I'm afraid I might have to

Normally I wouldn’t but the guy hurt his back and couldn’t get it set up to ship. Losing a whole day and $150 in fuel means it had to be a very good deal or I’d have passed. I’ve been causally looking for almost 2 years. Found a couple of complete trucks but they were clown world prices.

 

[reptillikus]

Yeah, I don't really blame you, it's kind of the same here. I've seen one or two trucks pop up that have one but the price isn't great for a truck I'm going to end up parting out. Everyone and their mother has a BB or diesel variant sitting around but no one seems to have a 4wd SBF. Oh well, one day.

 

[CDA 455 II]

Bolted the interior spare tire holder back in and mounted a front spare:

Why?

 

[rockota]

Check the bracket that holds the bag in place. They are only tack welded onto the seat frame. My driver side had the weld break. The bag would fill but it was pushing to front and back and you can't feel it.

You nailed it. Yanked the seat today. Got the cover unclipped and the bag/brace fell out. Bag is destroyed from dry rot - not even going to try to fix it.

Was able to pull the cover up just enough to goober-spot the plate back in. Threw a dab of paint on the welds and reinstalled. Good enough for my back - 100x more comfortable.

The '88 is in for yearly maintenance and winter prep. Replaced a couple fuel pumps, needs front shocks, general inspection and chassis lube/undercoating.

Found a new hole in passenger floor board, didn't realize a previous owner had slapped patch on and tarred it over. This kept all the oil undercoating I apply out and it just rotted out hard... Hope to get a few more seasons out of the truck, but should start looking for a rust free clone parts truck.

Front tank seemed to be causing the high pressure pump to start hating life, which turned into a constant bad noise.

Found a hidden spot that didn't get undercoated, almost rotted through the crossmember.

Exhaust pipe made it one year... Oh the joys of road brine.

Jesus man

The shit they spray on the roads in PA is no joke. Gotta wash the cars a lot more in the winter than you do the summer if you want them to last at all.

 

[toocheaptosmoke]

By northeast craigslist standards, it's still considered pretty clean for its age.

 

[reptillikus]

I mean, I definitely saw worse on marketplace yesterday

78 F150: got all of the parts I need to start the 1-ton swap here once the in-laws leave. Also found that one of the hoses on my Vintage Air AC that I just finished setting up and barely enjoyed for a month is leaking:



67 Bronco: gf ordered the matching rear seat from Toms Offroad, and new door-hinges but those are backordered. Slowly but surely it's becoming a pleasant driver.

[Provience]

Hammer, block of wood, socket and extension to get the heater hose inlet on the block tapped back in to place. Darn thumb has been bleeding on and off ever since

 

[rockota]

I have many questions.

 

[Clb]

Fire away

 

[rockota]

Fire away

If not, what brand is the lawn tractor… cause it’s clearly over loaded.
Is that ford pushing?
Did the parking brakes fail and end with the entire train in a cluster in the road?

 

[Clb]

Vintage Air customer support said the hose is under warranty and is shipping one out today free-of-charge.
