its in dutch, but photo heavy, and i now that you like pictures!

to tell:
i had a bad accident, later in de pictures you can see that the frame is bent to heavy, so i need a new frame (sucks!)
plan is to rebuild it, but also a new spray (proffesionelly) a wide ride IFS and tank in the frame.

[Fordnatic]

I wanna see what the other guy looks like!!

[sargentrs]

Wow! She was really nice. Glad to made it through that one. Good luck!

[jurrien]

alright ill try to post some updates here as well.

first the other guy


the truck is indeed from texas, i even got the plates with it! (and a name, found a medical box with some pils and a name by taking it apart )

today i got the engine of the frame



frame empty


does anyone now were this is for(is in the door)


and what this is (on top of the firewall)

[GHOST]

The picture of the hole in the firewall is for the rubber hose and spout for washer fluid for the windshield. the metal spout goes screwed to the firewall and comes up the vents.

[jurrien]

what i actually ment was (i wasnt to clear about it ) the little black things above it on your picture.

[sargentrs]

Pieces left over from removal of the cowl to hood lacing/gasket. The metal clips that are imbedded in the rubber gasket. The gasket often gets ripped loose and the clips stay behind.

[72stepside]

The thing that goes in the door is the temp sensor for then spark retard system which was probably disconnected long ago... mine was. There is a filmstrip in the Ford Literature section of this website. It explains it all.

[jurrien]

thanks for that, so i can close that hole as well. ill see what i do with the clips.

i bought a welding machine, monday ill get a cylinder with gas. so its time to search and weld all the holes and rust, lets see how that works out


i'm gonna get me a 'new' frame this week, well i try to get one

[mcheath]

Greetings from California. That was a great truck, sad to see that accident mess it up. Good for you that you are putting it right. Where do you get parts? Here another frame would be easy to get, and pretty cheap at my local Pick A Part, but I'm guessing that in your neck of the woods they are few and far between. Were these trucks sold new in Holland? Or are they imported now?

[jurrien]

i have to order parts in the us, there is now one frame (complete truck) for sale in the netherlands. probably i buy that one, if not, i have to import one..
these trucks are all imported, you dont see em very often here, but there are some hidden in garages and with some american days, they come out

last few days i bin busy with welding holes and search for rust
gastank holes



the spark retard system


some guy made i nice hole for de ac cables



rust (front cabin corner)



do you see where it is



found this,


need some new cab corners, i think


i made a time lapse, not much to see...

You're doing a good job on that truck!
That Lincoln welder looks like mine.


Mine is the Weld Pak 10. It'll do anything from sheet metal to frame welding!
