86 12 Brutus Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Wow George, that truck is really coming together! I like the color and the late model seat. Thank you thats actually the original seat. We are putting the seat from the 88 in. Basically the same but with the adjustable head restraints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzFace2 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Welcome George n' Nick! I don't know what happened 🤷♂️ We're big fans of the 300, Don't you want to share? Welcome to the forum. That 86 would not be a flare side would it? If so you would be another member of the FOG (Flare side Owners Group). Sound like some cool mods have been done to the truck over the years. Did I see you are adding AC or rebuilding it? I added factory AC to my truck not an easy job. Was working on the AC part running today and ran into an issue with the drive belt not lining up to any grooves. I am also a fan of the 300 six, that is what my 81 F100 flare side has but I have a NP435 & overdrive. Like you I did all the work my self, 4 year cab off frame rebuild, even the paint. We need to see pictures of your truck(s) we love pictures - never mind I now see the pictures You have done a great job so far. On the AC was the truck a factory AC or not? Looking at the compressor bracket it looks factory. If so I may have a question for you on the belt setup. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
