Brought home a 90 F150 4x4 302 E4OD reg cab long bed that needs a shift solenoid and exhaust manifold and muffler. Other then that it she is immaculant. Going to work on it while I am still working on my 88 F150 4x4 302 C6 Reg cab long bed.

Finally some decent sounding tunes in my 96'






10" sub and amp in small enclosure..

sounds great and pumps the bass out enough to shake the whole truck if desired.









new head unit and wired/mounted an aux ipod input





Oops I don't know how to make these huge pictures smaller

I rebuilt my steering column for my 89 and put that back in. I installed another IAC since the new one was shorting out causing the fuel pumps to stay on and it seems to have fixed it. Took the topper off to load a motor and I like the look so I might keep it that way and just put the topper on if I need it.

Cleaned the interior, installed arm rest pads, pulled off the body side molding (working on getting the glue crap off still), scraped off the bumper stickers, swept out the bed, scraped the padding off the bed (had a camper shell), installed a black cargo light (was missing the cargo light and had duct tape over the hole), and installed a front license plate.
All is on the 90 F150 4x4 I just brought home.
Needs for this truck right away:
AT control solenoid
full exhaust including manifold (still deciding weather to go headers or not since I have spare manifolds)
hook up the radio correctly
get rid of the surface rust before it turns into real rust
oil change
and figure ac system out why it is unplugged.


Long term:
repaint same colors
paint the stock wheels black and find one more center cap
get matching lug nuts
31 10.5 R15 tires (probably BFG Kos)
diamond plate bed rails (like on my 88 F150)
paint gauge cluster needles (like on my 88 F150)
fix tailgate panel
and much late full rebuild of engine.

Yep right here. If you do it make sure you get a translucent paint. You can do it while the cluster is in the truck that is how I will be doing it on the 90. I did this when I swapped a tach cluster in my 88 F150.

Be careful painting the needles. My cousin painted his and the weight of the paint made the gauges read wrong.

I have painted needles on tons of vehicles and never had a problem. If it is off it will only be a bit which doesn't matter much anyways as my 31s make the speedo off slightly when it is working (needs the drive gear on the transfer case).

If you glob it on like he did then it will affect it.
