thank you!

 

just ordered the brake master cylinder:



im running a manual brake setup with those pedals and that master cylinder so i wont have to worry about vacuum to get stopped

 

Cool build man... can't wait to see it finished!

 

ho damn cousin nicky...holy crap i never clicked this thread the past few weeks since it's been active.....wow bud...you got some work goin!!

 

Nick, i expected the fuel lines to be hooked up. What a slacker!

 

hey boy -- when you put your bed back on will the filler neck just be showing with an access panel for the pump or what? isnt your cell sitting all the way through the bed?

whered you get the neck from? i gotta figure something out on my truck since its in the same spot, and im lifted i dont wanna have to climb up to fill up

 

the filler neck will have to be worked on some to make it right. i got it from a nascar team that retired it.

 

tonight's progress:










just had to get a pic of it all painted and assembled:













Ok, this is a tremec 5 speed from a 2007 mustang. The shifter had to be shortened for it to sit where i wanted it. I ended up taking about 8 inches off of it. I still have to build a cross member for it and figure something out for a driveshaft(i have something in mind), but at least its in there and i can shift gears now!!! Ignore the position of the shifter to the seat in the pictures, i wont be using those seats and the new ones will be positioned differently. I am going to extend the shifter and tweak it to my likings once i get the seats mounted. The seats were supposed to be here today, but thanks to fedex, they wont be here until monday

 

looks good how did you get the t5 to built to your 4.0?

 

this is a t45 from a v6 mustang.

 

o ok that sweet and it just bolted right in?

 

Nice Nick.

Cant you just shorten the ranger shaft?

 

you mean lengthen it by 2 feet!!!

 

oh well have them retube it... are the flanges the same? or different?

 

yes, the flanges are the same.

 

yes, its from a 2007 mustang v6. they have the 4.0sohc engine. it bolts to the block, but everything else has to be made.

 

ok sweet to bad you cant covert them to a 4wd tranny or i would get one for my truck and get rid of my ****y 5 speed

 

i would have kept my 4wd if that were possible...

 

yeah thats kinda what i thought

 

I can't believe I missed this thread. I've always loved your truck. Can't wait to see it in it's newest form.

 

Been kinda takin it easy the past few days, but I did manage to get the seat bracket made and the manual pedals installed:
edit: dont ask me why the only thing left to my interior is the pass side door panel... I have no idea why its still on...














as for the seat bracket, it is quite heavy(i got a little carried away) so i will be lightening it. The flat stock that is tack welded on the sides is only there for a guide when i take the plasma cutter to it:



Im going out of town this weekend, so i wont have any updates until next week. I have taken next week and the week after off from my day job so i can get some real progress done!!!!!! Ill keep you guys posted.

 

looks good

 

nice man looks like its coming along very nice!

 

it is, but im ready to be finished with it!!!
