Builds Whitey Forty - Tilda Bogue Service Station

[70fj40]

It looks classy next to the more modern brethren

Whitey is back. The transmission was loud. @orangefj45 to the rescue.

It’s a bit more work to do this without pulling the trans hump but this one was bedlined in pretty good and that could lead to a huge headache

Clutch was about gone. Throwout bearing won’t turn by hand so it was close to a problem.

I have to swap over some parts from the old setup to the new and I can stuff it back.

I had to pull the exhaust out because the 2 piece header gets in the way of dropping the pressure plate.

Hassle.

I’m down to driveshafts and shifter boots and this one is done.

 

[wngrog]

It’s in. Test drive went great. The transmission is quiet as a mouse. Bravo @orangefj45

It loaded up and going to my headliner guy tomorrow.

Picked up Whitey, he had burned out dash lights and the tail light fuse had popped.

Went over everything and it’s solid as a rock.

I forgot how nice this truck is.

Stock will handle it just fine. Neither pull much power.

I read through your thread and can't find it... but what front bumper do you have on here?

JT Outfitters. They sell on eBay

Any commentary about said bumper? Like/Dislike? Just since you've seen em all... or just wait for @OPMACHINE to do another run of his gems...?

 

[wngrog]

It's not in the same league as that bumper but I like that they are closer to full width versus the stubby HFS style.

They are good. Powder holds up nicely. I have one on my 45 and it's been there 4 years or so.
