Hey guys, I've owned this truck since 2009, and over the years i have done alot of work to her, including a new gm crate engine, new panels to fix the typical rust and paint, and more, however over the last year and a half I've neglected her a bit, and its time to clean her up a bit.

also i upgraded to these solid sleeves, im hopping they make the truck easier to align and the look like better quality to me.

upgraded to the 5 wire actuator in the front diff, its more money up front for the actuator and harness but the 2 wire thermo one has been replaced 2-3 times and is horribly unreadable

Welcome from a fellow 94 owner, looks good

Your truck is in excellent shape! More pictures!

Welcome to the forum
Wow!, thanks for the comments guys.
tonight i got a few things done, the truck has been sitting for about a year now and when i pulled it in the shop i noticed the brake pedal height was almost to the floor. found there was a rusted brake line behind the gas tank, so i dropped the tank and found the fuel lines look a little soft as well..

so i yanked the brake and fuel lines tonight, kind of a pain while trying to save the plastic clips..

Not much of an update, waiting on parts to arrive, i have stainless brake lines and fuel lines coming in within the next two days. Did give me some time to do a few things on my other project, my 1972 f100.

I'm a a total sucker for old Fords. That's all my dad would drive. I'd love to pick up a mid/late 70s one day, he owned several that i remember from my childhood
