there are no updates! Haven't really done anything since June when I primed the bed. While its warm this week I am going to finish up redoing the mud work on the tailgate and get it in primer. Then hopefully my friend can spray the backside of it with Rhinoliner.

someday. Still undecided whether or not I want to bag the truck. If I decide to bag, then it will be after that.

Well the tailgate is all done and in primer. I got the backside all prepped so my friend can rhinoline it sometime soon.

You need to post more pictures on teh tail gate handle relocation. I'm looking to do one but have never seen pictures of how it's done. I've heard guys explaining how easy it is and what to cut. Just want to make sure I understand it.
Thanks Lee

Just an update...I put the dash back in Saturday. Today I tried to finish my gas lines up but I have a leak, need to get some different parts tomorrow to take care of that. Fuel pump pumps (had to hit it with a hammer to free it up though, it was a seized from sitting). But it cranks and should run once I take care of the lines. Hooray.
After I get it running I have to pull it outside and use a come-along to pull the core support over a 1/2" or so. I have the hood latch adjusted all the way to the right but it still drags the hood over slightly when it latches, no big deal.

Since I've never posted a picture of the rear gas tank, here it is all hooked up.
My guages are a little funky, I think I have a bad ground in the engine bay. Also, 1st gen sending units don't read correctly with 2nd gen electrics, I only have about a gallon in the tank.
My rhinolined tailgate, friend of mine did it for a hell of a deal back in January.

Well, a few friends (Combs_Customs, fordguy64, and another friend) came up this weekend and helped me a bit with my truck.
Wilton (Combs_Customs) and Rob (fordguy64) installed my l/s and new ford racing 3.55 gears. In exchange I made a shaved tailgate and installed a rollpan on Wiltons Ranger. I forgot to snap a final picture of the tailgate and rollpan! Oops. I'm sure Wilton will get one for me. We also flipped my shackles back over to stock, when the axle goes back in its going in with a flip kit to level the truck out.
unfortunately those clear gearz covers aren't as strong as they advertise, you can't really see it, but this cracked in a bunch of places. Just normal street driving, 12k miles.

Have to get you a pic in a day or two. Got the plate light wired up. It looks sweet. I am going to grind a little more off that lip on the bottom of the gate, it barely rubs the rollpan, but it took paint off. And yay, it still starts

dunno if anyone still watches this anymore, but I'll keep updating anyway...
New girdle to replace the jank cleargearz cover..
started putting my rear discs on. Just need bolts for the calipers. I had to notch the caliper mounts so that I could bolt them do the backside of the flange. I also flipped them from left to right.
last bits of bodywork..
Just need some new seamsealer on the spots I ground, and I can cut the hood in..
