Put the motor back together for the F100 and dropped it in tonight. Should have it running by Saturday.

Why is it that the trucks are always the best running vehicles in the family?

I installed an overflow hose to the radiator, hooked up the new battery and installed a new backup light switch. I still need to install the seat belts, get the rear pinion seal replaced and get it inspected.

Oh, and rebuild the steering column, add a brake booster, hook up a new headlight harness whenever 390 makes a new set, rebuild the transmission, repack the bearings, get it aligned...

Time to have your attorney call them.

Moved it from my shop in town (where it was sitting outside), to home to put it out of the weather.
Some kid decided to have pitching practice with my mirrors and chrome on my tailgate. Both mirrors busted. :cuss:
Think I know who did it, just can't prove it. :rant: :rant: :rant:

Stopped at Obsolete Ford parts in OKC yesterday to get a $19.95 part for my steering column,which they didn't have . Said they could order it and ship it to me for an extra $9.95.
Called my buddy at the local Ford house and he found one at a Ford dealer in south Texas. Fords price $12.95 and $7.50 for the ride .Humm what are the odds of that happening again.
