This week I finished installing a new water pump & fuel pump in Jessica's blue bronco. Why in the world would Ford design it so that the radiator has to come out in order to remove the PS pump?
Yesterday I solved my fuel starving issue on the crawler upergrin: I also took the steering out and removed my D60 high steer arms since I never painted them before and they were the rustiest/dirtiest part of the whole truck. While I had them off I ground down several places that looked like it might "pinch" the heim joints under travel. They are primed and will be painted / re-installed today.
Next thing on the crawler is some wire management and some wiring loose ends - radio, elec. fan, etc. Going to order some heat shield from Summit to wrap my Lokar tranny flex dipstick since it almost rubs the header. Still need to mount that dip stick somewhere too - where it comes up from the tunnel is not very convenient to mount it w/o it interfering with the hood so I'll make a bracket or something to hold it.
