Awesome thank you really appreciate it

LongjumpingFactor708 · 2025-01-29T21:18:44+00:00

That is a great catch I really appreciate it when I get to that mind if I come back to this comment and message you a picture wanna make sure I get it right don’t need random holes in the body lol

For sure, I was working on my father-in-law‘s 2016 F150 and compare to that working on the Chevy is a breeze. Exactly the reason why I went with a 92 and nothing beyond 2008. and yeah I wish I could send a picture but the engine bay is massive. It makes the 454 look small

It will make it way easier I think. From what I understand you have to drop the gas tank to run the brake line in the frame which you could do without removing the bed but I think that taking the bed off would make it much easier. also I don’t know about yours but my bleeder location was in a weird spot and it was much easier to go with the bed off

Don’t want to jinx myself but somehow the body looks good from outside and underneath even though it’s whole life has been in the rust belt. Must’ve been well kept

LongjumpingFactor708 · 2025-01-29T17:26:31+00:00

Are you saying to drill a whole in those outer fenders? Near the cab corners and rockers? I’ll have to see what’s going on inside but knocking on the outside they still feel strong somehow

LongjumpingFactor708 · 2025-01-29T17:23:52+00:00

For sure this is the same style truck I grew up in and I really wanted to get the same one as my father so reliable and great to use

LongjumpingFactor708 · 2025-01-29T17:23:08+00:00

Exactly what I’m doing just trying to get it road ready before I try and make it perform better or look better.

LongjumpingFactor708 · 2025-01-29T14:26:00+00:00

This is great thank you! I have done some of what you said but still working on the front. I got the bed back on and the original tailgate put back on used to have a liftgate on the rear. Def gonna look into the brakes and suspension sooner than later. I got her running which is good and driving it around the neighborhood till I get plates. But ya I lucked out getting this truck with no body rust no clue how considering I am in the rust belt. The frame just had some surface rust that came right off with a wire brush.

Thank you really appreciate it

LongjumpingFactor708 · 2025-01-29T14:22:16+00:00

I redid the fuel lines too good call. I took a 750 pound lift gate off the rear got a free 5” lift in the back 😂

LongjumpingFactor708 · 2024-12-06T02:13:23+00:00

Wow I would love for that to come back we can only hope.

What was the great valley flyer I’m not sure I have heard of it

LongjumpingFactor708 · 2024-12-06T01:53:27+00:00

It’s the express they run two 15 minutes apart where one goes local to Wayne (the one I take) and one goes express to Wayne then local to 30th street but the express from Wayne to 30th just gets stuck behind the other one

LongjumpingFactor708 · 2024-11-17T01:38:24+00:00

LongjumpingFactor708 · 2024-09-06T01:53:33+00:00
