parcel post is cheap. i let you know what i can find for it.

I check on it tonight and flod it back up if it is dry.

good thing you said something, it was going to the trash with some other stuff.

if anyone needs anything off the cab speak up in a PM or something all free you cover the ride.

---

Was the old cab a 4 speed hump? If so, and I'll make it worth your while. Had an offer from another member, but my email dumps emails every so often, and I can't find them.

Thanks mike

Yeah it's funny how some things are so similar but you can't really use anything but the seatbelts & dashpad out of that cab. What about the HVAC?

---

the control switch in dash is MIA, but the vac lines are in good shape, the heater/a/c was all working when parted out a couple days ago.

I will be removing the heater core box and all duct work.

I am going to strip it down and install everything from my 85 truck exept the heater core box.

I figure I can cut a patch piece with the square hole needed for the 85 throttle cable and weld it into the 91 cab while it is off, gonna take a couple days to patch the floor and driver rocker panel.

working on finding some patch panels, i rather weld in stock preformed pieces.

at this point the 1 hole is less than the 7 holes in the 85 so it might ride as is if it slows me down too much.

first problem I see is the TBI throttle pedel/cable is different than the 85 truck.

not sure what the fix will be at this time. the 85 has a square hole in the firewall and the 91 has a round hole.

not sure what the end of the tbi cable looks like, it was cut and MIA

---

hey Mike, been out of town and haven't read far enough to see if you figured this out. when I did my V8 swap, I ran into the same thing. The '88 had a different pedal and cable set up than the '87 donor. The holes for the cable were different holes like yours. I stuck the round cable from the '87 in the square hole( or was it the other way around..?) and it's worked fine for three months.

with all of the LE trim inside I think the water leak was unseen.

Holy crap! Almost as bad as the raptor. Only thing left was the seatbelt anchor. Well it's still solid enough. Woulda liked a pic of the neighbors.

rocker panel repair 101

Ace has me doing and watching small things as we do the first hole, 2nd smaller hole is mine to do after todays lesson.

small tricks save time, $$$, labor.

first cut rust out and square up the cuts.

then bend edges in slightly so patch welds in flush, giving a nice overlap on edges.

not to much goober welding and less grinding.

I likes goober welding!

the local bedliner shops want 400$-500$ to do just inside the bed.

---

Lookin' good! Don't forget those guys at the bedliner shop should use about 4 gallons to do the bed right @ about $100 a gal.

Ace wants to paint it army green(olive drab) then add the hotrod flat black palmetto camo paint.(door handles down)

a few of my hunt club 4x4 buddys have this paint job on their hunting truck, blends right in to the swamps.

---

Gee Mike,
I don't know if I would go huntin if ya paint it like that...
Ya might lose yer truck!!

it is the rustoleum spray on bed liner. it goes on good,covers good,holds up to abuse, and has a nice finish texture to it.

not gritty like the herculiner roll on I used on the 440 truck.

60$ a gallon, I will be using 6 gallons on the stepside when its all done.

the cab has 2 gallons and is done now. 2 more gallons for the underhood,inner fenders,backside of inner fenders, backside of fenders,core support,all get a coat.

bed gets 2 gallons for underside and inside box,underside of rear fenders.

sweet. may i also ask where you got the tank at?

---

got the tank on ebay from Mustang Unlimited dot com out of Georgia - 1-888-229-2929

got the 22 gallon tank kit for a 69/70-mustang/couger that came with a new galvinised tank with drain plug/new sender/filler neck hose.

free shipping to the dorr for 124$

the sender is the same ohms as a mopar sender...if I can just figure out how the 2 wires work.. the ford sender is a one wire...so I assume on of the wires on my truck is a ground and the other a sender hot wire.

put 10 gallons in on first run ti check for leaks..no leaks and sender o-ring sealed up no problems.

went and had some straight pipes with a nice set of muffs with turn outs under the steps.

made up a torque strap from 2 engine to trans braces, used some shock rubber bushings/cup washer on a bolt thru the frame..ugly but cheap and effective.

---

Are you gonna side step the clutch at 5k?

---

not with a 318
