Okay.

So, so far I need to bring a box of grade 8 bolts and some paint.

Anything else?


Chris has the compressor, Jason has an impact gun, grinder, and breaker bars, John is bringing the rear frame section....let me know of anything I can bring to help. I don't have very many of my own tools, just a starter set from Craftsman.


Again guys, thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

 

Also, how much would new leafs run me at a JY? Say if I picked up Sport Trac leafsprings or stiffer Ranger leafsprings for the truck? Mine are stock and starting to sag after 155,000 miles....

 

Compressor is ready to go bud. Only thing maybe somebody could bring is some better impact sockets. I dont have many metric for my gun. We should have plenty of space to do this outside of the garage.

 

I think we have it covered. If we all bring hand tools and grinders we are set. Don't forget a 13 & 18 deepwell, those are fords favorite sizes...lol Maybe a drill bit to fit the grade 8 bolts...

 

I got a bunch of that stuff in my tool box at work i'll brign my little tool bag that fits ton's and ton's of junk yard parts :D lol

 

You guys are friggin awesome. Chris I hope there is a pizza place nearby you that delivers, because food is on me Saturday. I cant' stress enough how much I appreciate you all chipping in.

 

hah ya man, take your pick. pizza hut, papa johns, pizza joes, pizza dude, pizza roma.

 

You're the experienced local, you guys tell me that day and I'll order. It's the least I can do.

 

ha no problem this should be a fun little project lol

 

looks like you got some great help. good luck guys!

 

I cleaned the bed out on the parts truck last night. I'll be getting it dismantled soon and ready to go...Once I get the bed and cab off I'll snap a picture of the frame.

 

John, that will no longer be necessary. Thank you so much. I got it welded this morning, it needed to be done ASAP and it wasn't safe to drive on.

I'm lazy, C&P'd this from the meet thread.....

Alright guys, I got my frame welded and plated and welded some more this morning. Save us all alot of time and effort next weekend. Plus it wasn't safe to drive at the moment. Got it done for $200 at a place my neighbor works at. Looks to me like a real solid job. Again guys, I thank you all for the support and the help you would have lended.

And uh, lunch will STILL be on me? Okay. I'll buy the pizza and soda, you all can supply your own beer I'm only 20 lol.

Here's the only crappy cell phone pic I have....

 

No Problem dude, its all good. Your safe now!

 

i still think the frame swap woulda been a better way to go but big ups either way

 

Steve I can still hook you up with that frame if you want to hold onto it just in case...its up to you.

 

yeah steve i'd def still take the frame that would be a good idea

 

Well let me know what you want to do....most of the money I have will be going towards the frame repair ($200), gas from now til after the meet ($200) and lunch for all you guys which should consist of a few pizza's and soda. I can barter with you lol, my Westin bar w/ lights is up for grabs, i got the stock cd/radio player, the stock 3rd brake light (white and red), and maybe some cash if i can swing it.....who knows. It's up to you John.

 

How about the westin and stock cd/radio even up?

 

 

John, you got yourself a deal. I'm going to need some help disconnecting the wiring from the lights as I am not electrical savvy at all. You can keep the lights on it as well, they're cheap Wal-Mart ones that haven't failed in 2 years of running them every night.

 

No problem, I'll get this dismantled this week sometime.

 

Here it is...

 

mmm thats nice and purdy!

 

Wow, she looks nice! How the hell am I going to get this thing home? LOL.

 

It should fit right in your bed, the front bed bolts are part of the front half of the frame.
