Painting door panels?
I used SEM plastic/vinyl cleaner and adhesion promoter in the prep stage. For the paint on my 85 interior plastic I used Color Bond #75 Ford Crystal Blue. It was a very close match.- Michael Dimock

Buyer Beware: Sterling Hub Socket
Just used that same socket on my 97 Sterling and had the same issues. Spun it inside the spindle with an impact to shave off the black coating and it was better, but still too tight.... It got the job done but I was a little worried about torquing it accurately. The hub felt fine when the...- Michael Dimock

2 ford cabs. 1 6.9 with c6. going to scrap unless someone wants them
Do any of them have any dash parts left? I'm looking for the woodgrain instrument cover for my 85 and could head down your way on Saturday before you loaded them up. Might look at some other things while I am there. Let me know. Thanks.- Michael Dimock

My Newest Acquisition: 85 F250 4x4
Since I finally got a coolant gauge in the truck I found out that the thermostat wasn't working as it was running around 130*. I always wondered why the heat never seemed to work real well...LOL Changed that out this weekend as well as the front brake pads. Improved the front axle aesthetics by...- Michael Dimock

exhaust flanges
Russ, when I rebuilt my up pipes for my Banks setup I ended up using 2x Walker 31885 flanges I got from Summit which are meant for 2.25" pipe and 4" bolt centers. They are bent up the opposite way with the tapered part and folded over edges being the same way, but it fit just fine up to the...- Michael Dimock

Here is a pic of why the first trans was angry and the reason I go through all the trouble in maintaining a tow vehicle:- Michael Dimock

My Newest Acquisition: 85 F250 4x4
Recently I sent out my early Banks turbo to Typ4 for a rebuild and got it back a few weeks ago. I mocked up the turbo during the first ZF install and got the downpipe built to where my 4" exhaust starts at that time so I'd be ahead in the future. I also added some more insulation to the floor to...- Michael Dimock

My Newest Acquisition: 85 F250 4x4

Yeah, I have the stub in the trans. Currently I made a shifter out of some pipe so I just need the actual shifter stick, knob, and 2 bolts that thread into it. Let me know. Thanks.- Michael Dimock

ZF5, T-19, Tailgate, etc
ZF5, T-19, E-brake, etc I have a T-19 that I took out of my 85 F250 that has the bellhousing, shifter, boot, and barely used 12" clutch. Trans would pop out of 1st and 3rd on decell sometimes so it needs a rebuild. $200 obo. 12" T-19 Clutch $80 obo. I bought a "rebuilt" ZF5-42 off of some...- Michael Dimock

f@#n slave cylinder giving me a hard time
Just did this a couple hours ago. Get a set of vice grips and clamp them on the fork right below the divot for the pushrod as to not allow the pushrod to slip down (towards the trans) and out of its spot. Then, put the pushrod in its divot and start to compress the slave as it will be at about a...- Michael Dimock
