Well ive decided to fix the old truck im going to buy the pto winch and gin pole back after christmas.

This past weekend i fired the engine up for a minute.

Going to change the engine oil and clean the carb up a little and see if it will run!

Got me a line up on some tires just got to get the money up.

Im pretty excited about it.

Its ALIVE I fired up the old F-250 today!

One carb kit $15 bucks!

One hot battery!

One Boat gas tank and primer bulb!

And it firin right up Priceless!

Im gonna remove the tank and clean it good and try to use it next time i crank it.


I tired out the 4 wheel drive 1st - 4th gear, the pto engagement, and the lights and windsheild wipers and it all works great!

Im going to get the oil and filters to change the engine, trans, front and rear diffs.

And then wheel cyl.'s brake booster and master cyl.

Plug, wires, distributor cap, rotor, fuel filter, air filter and anything else that i need to get it rolling and working!

Great news! Going for new brakes right off the bat, huh?

I got a good bit of work done today!

I got the oil and filter changed, got a new aluminum breather and a new air filter.

I also had to put a new water pump and thermostat in to get it cooling properly.

Fired up the pressure washer up and got all the mildew and moss that was growing on it off.

I also pulled the tank out and I'm going to clean it out and try to use it instead of the boat gas tank.

After I get the tank in it again I'm going to change the hood out with the one off the bronco and I'm going
With the bucket seats out of the bronco also.

Got some pics of the work ive got done in the last to days.

Before the good wash job.




Pulled the seat and tank.





Mounting the seats out of the bronco.

A nasty little hole i discovered in passenger floorboard.





New muffler and the old one.



Old water pump and the new one.



After its bath. It may be old and ugly but it seems to be pertty strong for its age and history.

Got my miss matched buckshots mounted on the rims last night and got them on the truck this evening!

I also pulled the quiet muffler off and put a flowmaster in its place!







Dont make fun of my welds! I welded it with a stick welder!

looking good almost ready for some joy riding

You welded a muffler with a stick welder?

If you ever have stuff that you need mig welded, and you can get it here, I am happy to help out. My rig can do thin stuff very well.

[Reserector [Veteran Member]]

This one is fine. When they get like this, they are easy to repack with fiberglass. Wrap it in a muffler bandage and there you go.

Antichrysler, if your welds hold, don't worry about how they look.

Res, you could re-wrap that muffler using some old appliances laying around and put it on the FM.
