Flipped the cab on it's back and fixed the inner dr cab corner. Not pretty, but who's gonna see?

Image

Undercoated the floor/cab,

Image

Bedliner on the frame.

Image

Pulled the bed off and powerwashed the frame. Urethane cab mounts.

Image

Cab meets frame once again.

Image

Removed the Aerostar IFS, need to clean up the rails and set up for the CV IFS.

Image

Also spent some time cleaning up the DOHC, put on the CV mounts.

This stuff is KILLING me!!! I only have time about every other weekend to work on my '70...I've resorted to taking time off work toward the end of May so hopefully between this weekend and that week off, I'll get some quality time with my toys!

Keep up the great work!
Patrick

Thanks Patrick.. I like your projects too. Especially the 56.

Got the top holes measured and drilled, hung the CV IFS in place so I can measure up the plating I need.

Hit up the metal recyclers and picked up material to put the CVIFS in. I had cut up both rails when I put in the Aerostar IFS in years ago. So I had to fab up pieces to replace my hacking.

I made up new lower and outer plates.

Image

Image

Boxed in both sides.

Image

Image

So once that was done, I put on some wheels and rolled it out to clean up my mess.

Image

Tossed on a side for fun.

Image

Then back in the garage to work on the rear lower mounts.

Image

Image

Image

Tomorrow, finish the mounts, clean the rails and bedliner them.

Are you going to do an EFI setup for the 4.6? If so what harness and computer are you going to use?

Thanks!

Yes, keeping it EFI, not sure yet, but I'm leaning towards running a Cobra ECM, with a Moates Quarterhorse. I have the full harness and the Mark VIII ecm.

Thanks Tyler. You've got a great build going too.

More pics.

this is awesome! what kinda bedliner are you using? are you priming under it or putting anything on to stop rust, or just the bedliner?

Hurculiner, and just cleaning the frame. Not much rust on it really.

Door tag. Note, no exterior color. Was originally ordered by Arkansas Bell.

Stripping the rear frame...
