Welcome!

Looks great! Good job! And welcome!

I'd fill them with a two part epoxy, like JB Weld or Kwiksteel, etc...there are a half a dozen different brands. JB Weld is likely the cheapest and easiest to mix and fill the voids with imho. Then stick 'em on with 3M double sided tape, etc... That’s a great idea! I like that!

No problem, glad I could help.

Woohoo! Sounds good! Where’s that smokin cigar emoji?

Well, that rules those out.

Do you need something at Harbor Freight measured? I’m 5 minutes from the one here.

Could be a vacuum leak.

That someone was WillieJoe.62 on FTE, and here's the earliest of his posts I can find where he mentioned it: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1377049-the-officially-unofficial-mod-edit-now-official-bullnose-forum-logo-poll-2.html#post15327740. I voted for the 85. I like the Ford emblem on the grill. I see what you guys are saying and sometimes less is more. But I like the 85. They both look good on your truck!

Welcome!

That’s great! I drive my wife nuts trying to find rattles!

This is why we're so proud of Coca-Cola here in Atlanta - there's nothing it can't do! You'll be what, eleventy-one in 2058? Hang in there! My other grandmother (the one not associated with my truck) is turning 104 in September, and I wouldn't bet against her making it to 111. If she can do it, so can you. That's not a bad idea - I rubbed them with a light oil in a bid to slow down future rust, but wax would likely last longer. Of course, cleaning them was so easy that preservation barely seems worth the trouble - but I might do it just on principle. Didn’t work on my Bullnose, but I did trim the door panels on my Bronco. Had trimmed the passenger side before as it squeaked something fierce on a trip once. Both sides rattled and I took a close look and you could see where they were rubbing. Drove it and what a difference! Only downside is I broke the light socket that mounts in the door panel on the passenger side. Found a replacement I’ll have to order and I’m going to make the wires longer so hopefully that won’t happen again.

I'd suggest an IBC tote: and a surplus entrenching tool, but that much water in the bed without baffles would definitely overpower the sway bars even if you had them on. If he has run those air bags without a problem, I think I would too. Can’t catch rocks as easily that way!

I use teeth, but you can take it out if you want of course.

Welcome!

I would like to watch!

Wow! Looks like you got a little carried away! It’ll be great!

IIRC that’s how mine was mounted when I took it off.

Looks good, no engine pics. At least not that I saw.

Here is an idea, Gary. In the past, you and I drove the "loop" for gas mileage. You commented, at that time, that my truck was at a disadvantage due to me following and having to catch up with the lead truck. This year, let's you and I take my truck and fill up at Mr. Bass's and you drive the whole way [i'll enjoy the scenery]. Back to the "fillin" station and see what the mileage is? It will only take a little over an hour and I can arrive early. I like torque! I think me and the big six would get along just fine!

Nice! But as mentioned, pricey!

Purty!

Way to work it! Good job, looks good and I bet will function good.

My guess is that Janey would still want you to buy it! Thats a scam. IMHO.
