Hello everyone I've been busy for a few minutes, I dig the new format and look forward to seeing how it goes in the future. I've done a bunch to my rig since I logged on last. I got my manual swap finished up all I have to do is cut the hole in my floor to accommodate my bw1356 shifter. While I was there I went ahead an knocked all my surface rust and factory sound deadening and put down some fresh new sound deadening down. I followed the advice and reinforced my firewall where the master cyl mounts and found a nice braided stainless hose for my clutch fluid. More to come soon !

At that age I didn't know any better I just used zip ties after replacing the mc and sc twice and finally realizing that thing shouldn't move that far 🤣 that's when I also learned about the little boot in the reservoir

It is the fixed yoke, and I forgot to mention the driveshaft is in the donor short bed I planned on using it if the geometry is right, I also found that reinforcement plate on bronco graveyard I wish I would've had that on my last 4 speed truck 🤣 that was a long miserable limp home when I got off the highway

My aod decided to give up the ghost yesterday and I've decided to start the 4 speed swap, the parts truck I bought has a borg Warner t case and an inline 6 the truck is also a short bed I ordered the correct flywheel, clutch and clutch pedal assembly and some new bushings for the clutch pedal as well, if I use the borg t case should my driveshaft mate right up ?

I haven't made it out his way to get a good look at it but it is tempting. I've been daydreaming of painting the truck back black and that cover as well

Weird, the one he has is fiberglass and hinges in the middle where both ends open and has ford stamped real big on both sides of the rear

Haven't updated in a little bit, but I've been making some head way with the ol girl. I got the dash rewired and cleaned, added a stereo and a kicker hideaway behind the seat, and did the blend door hinge. I ended up finding a good parts bricknose with a 300 and a 4 speed w granny gear, it had new aluminum wheels and new tires on it I'm going to put the 4 speed in my rig and my dad wants the 300 in his bronco, I've been redoing for him. P.s has anyone ever seen a factory tonneau cover for our trucks ? There's a guy selling one near buy its in good working order and he said it came with his truck new anyone think it's worth 150$ ?

You ain't lying 🤣

I'll take any advice you seasoned guys give me 🤣 .do you recommend doing anything while I have the entire dash out ?

I love that stuff we keep it at work, It all worked out perfect!

Maybe I'll find what I need in this mess of wires I scored all kinds of parts while I was there, the harness was not the same but hey for 75$ I got all kinds of connectors and plugs I needed. Plus I got my lariat horn pad and tailgate panel plus a few other good pieces. Now to see about pulling these connectors out of the fuse panel 🤣

My android has always acted up about uploading photos, do you guys use a PC usually? And I've since talked to the junk yard they keep a lot of obs ford and gm trucks there if I pull the harness it's 75$. No Brainer I'd say, I'm headed down tomorrow to pull it out. I've never had an efi bullnose so I'm interested to see how many different legs I'll have to pull. I've never pulled a full dash either so that will be interesting I've heard a few different opinions. I'm also hoping my ecm will work with that trucks harness

I'm in the ga area and I've got a cab and chassis and she needs a bed I'm able to pick up as well, thank you ! The color isn't a deal breaker
