    I know you won't see this, but a few weeks ago (august 2021) had to replace the gas filler hose on my '92, which requires at least lifting the front of the bed. DO replace the filler hose; they disinegrate. The fun story is that I didn't have a T50, so I trundled down to the local neighborhood cheap tools you know where and grabbed a set. Got 3 of 'em, but the other 3 rounded. Took it up to my favorite shop, wondering how I wasn't going to have to drill them out; Steve pulled out his Snap-On bit, and out they came. LESSON: sometimes cheap tools don't do it.

      And that is one aspect of your charm that comes through. You already set the wheels in motion (so to speak... sorry). I think it will happen naturally. I'm just one of many I bet not hugely into cars, but clicked on a randomly suggested video, and stayed for your sense of humor and impressed by your ability to rip anything apart and rebuild it. They are enjoyable to watch. All the best...in Tucson, Northern AZ, or anywhere you desire.

  • @bullybluecoal1831
    @bullybluecoal1831 Před 2 lety +2

    Tip for the frame if you haven't worked on it yet. Sandblast like you mentioned. After that you can apply a product called All Metal for the pitting to get it smooth. It's like bondo only tougher with metal filings mixed in it. Downside is it may not take to powder coating. I am unsure of that. If not just epoxy primer with chassis paint.

    That was a 68 Mustang. The "ribs", the fake air intakes in front of the rear wheels confirm it. In 67 they were much "longer" front to rear. But Ford also used a lot of 67 parts on the early 68's, including hoods and front lower valances.

    YES!! Ranger content!! Having the parts truck is a great source for the parts/fasteners/wiring, etc. for a fraction of the cost. Bonus that most of the A/C stuff is there. When I did my efftwofiddie, I used two trucks, it saved my ass since I could cut the siezed bolts on one truck to save a bracket, then destroy the bracket and other surrounding bits on the other truck to save another part that was needed.

    Ooooo... nice find with the parts truck! That frame is going to look amazing once cleaned up. Jeez, your Grandma's truck is going to look like it's right off the assembly line when you're done with it - that's so cool!
