PlumCrazy's Build

[PlumCrazy]

The last of my November Summit order finally showed up...the last 6 nuts for the head studs, and a brass freeze plug set.


For some reason I decided to buy an extra set of hubs.lol Someone found my want to buy add from when I destroyed one a while ago and offered them at a price I couldn't refuse.lol


Still fiddling with my power steering too. I have a solution figured out and have the parts to do it. But dads IDI wouldn't start and it ended up being my problem for some reason, so I didn't get to touch the truck.lol Good old mechanical lift pumps. $26 fix and she fired right up.

And I picked up this little fella for a side project..

That looks like a handy little side project. What did that set you back?

 

[PlumCrazy]

Little under $200. It needs a little TLC, and put back together, but its still nice a tight. The chuck is shot, but they are pretty cheap for these little lathes. Temporally I can throw a 1/2" drill chuck on it for little projects. I also didnt get a center for it, but they are only $30-$50.

I should have it going tomorrow. The guy before me used it for wood and had saw dust and wood chips packed in everything.

If I keep dumping money into this power steering setup....it will work.lol





And bought this little fella..



'86 F150, FI 5.oh, C6, 2wd... Has just a tick over 70K on the clock and runs like new. Only thing it needs really is the dual tank switching valve fixed and then I am doing all the filters, fluids, and a tune up.

I look at those blue anodized fittings and all I see is $$$. A few more and you could bought a second truck lol.

And I agree, if you keep spending money the power steering will work... but you'll look back at it and just shake your head lol

Summit brand fittings and Fragola hose ends...They are actually cheaper than brass barbs. I wanted AN/JIC swivels on the reservoir so I can remove the lines without cutting the hose back 1/2" every time it gets stuck on the barbs.lol
