grumpin Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 It sure looks good. I spent that long washing and waxing Big Blue recently and didn't get nearly that result. Yup, that looks nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsmblue Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I'm interested in what your summer plans are for her. What's special about a centurion truck over a crew cab dually from the factory? Not sure if we are keeping this one, so I am on a tight budget. The hit list is: Valve cover gaskets Brakes overhaul Power steering overhaul (leaks) Interior Reno, headliner, door cards, carpet, steering column tilt conversion, maybe bucket seats. Window and door seals, half need replacing. As for what is special about the centurion bit, I literally do not know but would love to find out! For now, I am loving driving her around. That lazy 460 power 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Odd....I wasn't standing on the sky when I took these pics. That looks real nice Tyler! I'm interested in why the carrier won't fit with your hitch. Mine does, but the jack handle hole is obscured by one of the side plates. This forum does not understand phone orientation metadata embedded in the image. You need to open the picture and save it in the correct orientation. Then you can insert the image into your post. I think the mostly happens with iDevices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in February I replaced the rear tank fuel sender and wouldn't you know it but the tank selector valve decided to quit working and got stuck on the rear tank. So I ordered a tank selector valve and installed it and had it working and decided to change the furl line between the valve and hard line going to the fuel pump and broke the hose nipple off the new valve. So back on with the non functioning original selector valve. That was March 19th. I got a new one ordered and recieved it two days ago and got it installed. This time I was more careful with it and all is well and working now. The replacement valves don't deem to be made with as robust plastic as the original valve was made with but at least it is working. I also now have a new original nos fuel tank selector switch thanks to Tasca Ford Parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the winds stay calm(ish) today I hope to get my bumper off and bed corner replaced. Last weekend's plan got undermined by more pressing repairs of an incredibly crusty, leaking well pressure switch and a fence that got blown down.

ArdWrknTrk Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Good luck, Jim! It's up to 28 now (approaching 8:00) I have to repair a couple of saws and do some re-wiring in the barn first. So, hopefully it will warm up a little before I'm out there laying on frozen ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
