Got the back wall of the cab sanded wiped down and painted with self etching primer, then im going to bedliner it.

 

 

Neat truck you have there. I've hunted high and low here for one of those. They are rare as can be here in somewhat decent shape. I'm lookin forward to see what you do with it!

 

why dont you use peel and seal on the back of the cab and floor and throw carpet over it? really deadends the sound ive heard, thats what i plan on doing with my 82....

 

I thought about using peel and seal but wasn't sure if I wanted to stick tar back down. The carpet I'm putting back in is twice as thick as stock. I may still do the peel and seal I'm not sure yet.
Does everyone seem to like it?

 

everyone on here uses peel and seal, its like the greatest stuff since sliced bread

 

i have a 82 for sale in texas i was woundering if you or some one might want one

 

Put an ad with pics in the Classified section, someone may jump on it.

 

What he said! specs and pics i dont think you can post in classifieds until 15 posts.

 

Got a new window and weather striping yesterday. I didnt do the work on this install but it was worth every penny, the old window was leaking everywhere!!

 

It always helps when someone knows what they are doing. I've had 2 replaced due to damage beyond repair and haven't had a problem with leaks. Working on taking mine out during my build and will do the same as you. It's one of the "smart" moves on these things.

 

That's going to be a fun project.

 

yeah def replaceing the one on my 82, it doesnt leak everywhere but one or two places, your sig says 6 speed ps? pics??? mods? lookin for a 5 speed first gen cummins, sorry to thread jack

Go these today at home depot for the rear sliding window. The latch is missing on my rear slider, thought these would do great for now. I was going to make something with all thread rod then i found these.
Ill probably still continue to use them even after i get a new latch. I put two on either side on the bottom, 4 come in a pack so you could even do 2 at the top also.
They just slide in the rear window channel and tighten down. After you get them where you want them you can even drill a little hole in the side of the window channel for the set screw to go through.

 

love the 7.3 fords made, the only thing ford i like, def like it with a 6 speed

 

its been a really good running truck and gets great gas mileage, i got it used from my uncle with low mileage and completely stock, its only got 100k on it right now.

 

Those window locks work good, I used them after my truck was stolen years ago. The stock window latch isn't much of a deterrent to keep someone out

 

got some wheel spacers and new tires for the original wheels. They are toyo mt's 33 10.50 r15

I inspected the brakes while the wheels were off and the pads still were good but the rotors are rough condition and grooved, so i will be replacing those soon

 

looks great! need a pic of them on the truck!
