New bottom door window felt is from ebay. Cheap and easy job. Takes 10mins if that. I used a flat head screwdriver and pryed the old half gone/rusted ones out. Popped new ones in. Just roll the window down. Easy peasy.
I also recommend new rubber channel runners that go up the sides of the window. I havent done this yet but looks just as easy and will keep ur window tight.

Hoping to get to metal work very soon. Ive been sanding my cab for 2-3 days now. 2-4hrs each sesh. I plan on replacing the bed rather than plank it with wood.
Truck just dosent seem old enough to have the wood bed. Should b metal imo.

Truck did ok on its 3hr eastern WA run. On the way back... i ran dry of oil and water. I think my truck has blow by and needs a compression test and such. Could b my back rear main seal but idk.
Anyways. I stopped and pulled over when i saw my temp spike. Header wrap was on fire! Lol. Oil and heat BOOM. Fire. Lol.

I got to cle elum and got a qt of oil and dumped it it. Put all the water i had in it 1st stop with the fire. Put more water in.
Temp was jumping the way back with all the bubbles and low fluid.
When i got home and checked the oil. It was empty. :0
Lucky i made it home.

Hey your out your enjoying it, and that's what matters. The motor using a quart is not a massive thing. Especially in 6 hour cruising round trip. Using the coolant is more trouble it seems. coolant smell like fuel/ combustion. Mine does in the 74' bronco.... But hey they are just a lil old. Glad your driving it and runnin it that's what matters!! :thup:

Got the passenger fender off and replaced. Now my passenger door rattles when im driving. Great. Lol.

Really need upgraded or fixed and working properly brakes. I almost rear ended someone tonight. Looked down for a sec and back up to a red light and the person in front of me slamming on the brakes. I had to curb it and run the red. Glad the person waiting at the light to turn was paying attention.

Next things to tackle would b brakes, metal prep, gas tank empty and clean.
Lord knows what else! Keep it real ppl. Ford on!

As far as the brakes go you might access the condition of your front end. Mine was actually in pretty good shape and I strongly considered doing one of the swaps that use the drum brake spindles but I wanted it all Ford so I’m going to do early dent spindles and swap to early dent tie rods, do the bushings and all - I’m going to end up with as much in it as one of the bolt on kits, but it won’t be a heinz57 of parts. I doubt that it will stop as well as something like the SSBC kit, but it’ll also be stealthy...

Only thing ive done to the brakes is change the master and passenger side cylinder. Top off fluid as well.

Ive been shopping and looks like for front disk brakes, lines, and new master with booster and such. $1000 or a little over.

Edit. I didnt bench bleed my new.master. just cracked the lines after install. Nor have i bled my wheels. Figure theres no point if i cant even keep the 1st resivour full in the master. Need to replace the other front.cylinder and lines 1st.
