Well just ordered my new wiring harness from EZ wiring. Picked up a 21 circuit system with a headlight relay, electric fuel pump relay, and electric fan. And alone with the 21 circuits I plan on running that, my engine, A/C, shaved door kit, fuel cell, power locks, custom gauges, power windows, cab light, major after-market speaker system, and possible an air ride suspension <-- havent decided yet.

Thanks man, I know it feels amazing, our family does all the work on our vehicels even computer work. I was planning on buying a new mustang 5.0 boss, but after seeing how much work is needed on the computer side of it made me pass and stick to pre modular engines and most carbed engines. 8)

Well the valve cvovers look beautiful and the crank pulley spacer is just the right length. So I took the time to put the headers on and took some pic's motor looks great... back to working on the A/C and some body work.

*Drum Roll* :woohoo: I GOT MY E-Z WIRING HARNESS IN THE MAIL TODAY!!!!! It came with all the connections, fuses, and relays all wired in. Now the supplier that I ordered this from did ship my other relays and switches seperatly so I am still waiting for them to come in... Now I have read everywhere and people have been wanting to see the diagram and how this connects so I will put in some detailed diagrams of my ford connections and the diagrams they supplied from E-Z Wiring.

Thanks man, its been some crazy hard work but so worth it.

Well everyone this may become a very SLOW build. I just got accepted into the LVN program at the college and have 0 days off between class and work. So they parts pile will grow again and most of the stuff I end up doing will be quick, short, and of course FREE. Next few months are gonna be LONG hopefully it slows down in August or September. :fr:

Thanks guys, its been a pain in certian spots. Got the cab off the frame yesterday, good to have Memorial day. Come to find out while taking the cab and such off the truck has alot more rust then origonaly thought. Nothing that cant be cleaned up and fixed just alot more rust. Also a shocker was the frame, it was clean and still had some of Fords protective coating on it, but it apperantly had been in a crash. Slight Twist but should not be to hard to fix.

Well got the front of the frame cab forward power washed, cleaned, and coated with some truck bed liner for some rust reducer. Dont want it to come off you know. Now time to start working on the front suspension. Havent seen to many problems with the frame so far just the normal rust but the front brakes look beat to hell. So gotta do some research to see if I can power up the drum brakes till i decide to to a rack and pinion swap to the front.

Looks good so far but a little constructive criticism. They say the devils in the details so I would recommend taking a razor blade to the silicon sealant you have on there. It is a pain but it will look MUCH better after you get it trimmed down. Don't get me wrong it looks good now but it would look AWESOME trimmed.

Well finally had some time to get some truck work done. Decided that since I needed to fab a transmission mount together or something it would be best to get the cab off get it cleaned up and not worry about dropping the engine in over the grille and all. So thats what I did, By the way that is the origional color, and I hate it because in my town everyone who has one of these fine trucks has painted it that color...
