1.)Swapped the adjustable column for a solid one.
2.) Replaced the instrument cluster for one with a tip meter and tachometer and reset the odometer to reflect the new motors mileage.
3.) Redid the spare tire restraints.
4.) Installed the new trans pan and manual locking hubs.

Smart move on the first two things you did. I love my solid column so much more then tilts.


Which trans do you have I want to say C6 but not sure.

Keep in mind that if you ever sell the truck, you have to disclose the actual mileage since it is very illegal to roll back the odometer. The vehicle still has xxxx number of miles and the odometer must reflect those miles.

No plans on selling it and the odometer has already rolled over. Actual mileage is unknown. 2xx,xxx something. It's a play truck, not a DD.

Default Accident and progress so far. First attempt at anything other then minor repairs.




Heard a grinding in my front wheel so i headed home early to have a look. Lived and drove in Denver Colorado blizzards all my life with no problem. Missouri (44) Highway seemed to flash to ice and everyone either went into ditch or into each other.





Pulled the truck apart and ordered the new parts..





Almost done. Need a hood and fender from salvage yard and paint. New everything. Upgraded auto hubs to manual as they were the cause (i think) of the bearing failure. New brake calipers, hubs, radiator, condenser, trans cooler...just about everything else on front end. is now new. I now have a 2015 1996 F150 =-)

Just finished up putting in a clock in the dash to the right of the speedo cluster. The clock came out of a '07 Mercury, so it's still a Ford product! Turned out even better than I hoped. Now all I need is an e-fan, tires, rear bumper, tailgate.....Does it ever end?????? Hope not!
