Plans for your truck in 2019?
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/i...daybiggrin.gif Happy New Year https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/i...daybiggrin.gif So any special plans for your trucks this year? Mine? Make a decision on exactly what Rotating Assembly I want to go with along with Heads, cam and intake and stick to it. Aquire the BB460 and start the parts list purchasing. Hope all of you have a succesful, easier, more assuring happy and healthy 2019 God Bless you all. |
Happy New Year to you as well, and to everyone else!
I have almost all my parts purchased, just need the weather to smarten up.
One thing leads to another and before you know it, you wanna tear the whole front end apart. Figure if I'm tearing into it that deeply, may as well knock all the rust off to paint it and it needs to be above freezing for that to happen. Maybe in May lol. Right now I'm looking real hard a rear disc conversion kit. After upping the power and tire size, I'm going to need to address the brakes, and why replace when you can upgrade? |
Body work and paint

I don't have much on the "to-do" list for this year. I plan to re-paint the new tailgate I got last summer (YZ-Oxford White and XD-Santa Fe Beige) and with any luck get a new Redhead steering box and a Saginaw pump conversion. Maybe some new Cooper tires too...
