I really enjoy watching you rebuild this old truck, the comment you made about the quality of things back then I will take that over the very poor quality that we see today.😁👍👍
I just found your channel, and i have enjoyed it, and noticed that you look alot like tom hanks and love the comedy, love the 1977 ford f250, i have love these 1973 - 1977 ford trucks ever since i wad 16 years old, i'm 58 now and have own a 1973, two 1974"s and a 1977, thanks
Back in the day, if you got hired as an assembly line worker at the auto factories, they had to train you how to put the vehicles together. Especially where you were to be stationed at on the line. What bolts go where, how much torque, alignment, etc...... I don't know if they still do that, I'm sure they do. But I thought it was cool. They also had jigs in some cases to help align body panels. Even had what they called "paint specialists". 😅 ....I'd probably not be very good at that because I'm color blind...lol. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to seeing what is next in store for the F250.
It would be nice to have said jigs ha ha! The next installment for the F250 probably would be scrubbing down the engine bay and prepping it for paint. Cheers boss 😀
I always just give the grinder or torch treatment to those core support bolts. They're cheap enough. But boy do i wish I could get my hands on a truck this solid. Take care of it. It deserves it.
I got a good laugh out of now drawing inside the lines but making the lines. That was definitely me lol. I think all of those body bolts deserve some anti seize when going back together. 10 years ago, I took the trailer hitch and rear gas tank out to change the sending unit on my truck and the first time around it was horrible. No air tools and 230K plus miles of dirt and rust build up on the threads. I sandblasted and anti-seized the bolts and I had to drop the rear tank last weekend to change the vent valve and it all basically fell right apart, and the bolts weren't even showing any signs of rust after all this time.
Hopefully the seam sealer inside the cowl isn't compromised, would be a bugger to replace. With the front clip off its by far the best time to make the engine bay look pretty. Currently chasing a water leak in my not-a-project 95 Caprice wagon, I have a kiddie pool in the passenger footwell and my windows like to freeze on the inside...
@@SwedeMachine 2.56 rear gears and two tons of weight definitely keep the LT1 in check. Damn Chevy keeps falling apart faster than I can fix it, should've bought a Ford!
