looks good what are you going to use for inner fenders?

 

that's some good work. fyi the push lock fittings on the AD are rated for about 250psi if you can get them all the way on, they wont leak so the hose clamps aren't needed

 

Nothing, maybe stock inners if I find new ones cheap enough to hack up.

Ya I knew they were unneeded, but gave me some insurance for anything getting snagged on them and pulling the hose.

 

i tried to pull the hose off when i only was able to get two out of three groves on and my old man and i were each holding one end trying to tug it off and it would not slip off . Those suckers get tiiiiiiggggghhhtt

 

Wiring today

 

Me and a buddy spent like 4 or 5 hours with a factory wiring harness book and a mess that looked just like that!!! Gotta love wiring!

 

gonna be awesome thats the body stlye i wanna do with a ford, and great fab work!!

 

Spent about an hour going over it and tagging the connectors. Wasted 20 mins trying to figure out why I had two of the same harnesses, turned out that the second harness was the one I bought to swap to connect to a manual transmission, since this engine and harness are out of an auto truck.

I got the fuse box mounted, the puter, and all of the harness besides the positive cables that connect to the battery and starter, and the grounds. I'll try finishing some more tonite after the game.



Into the cab



Luckily the Dodge head light and turn signal connectors are the exact same as the Fords. So I'll go dig out my head light switch from my Dodge Ram and mold it into the Ford's dash.



Alt. and passenger side headlights.





Still a little messy till I get it all situated.

 

Hydroboost bolted in







Pulled the front half of the carpet, wirewheeled the rust, and painted the floor. Also will be patching up and opening up a new hole for the shifter in the tranny tunnel cover tomorrow if the weather man is wrong again

After the paint is hardened up and the seats back in, I'll be starting the fiberglass work on the dash.

 

awesome
