To bad I don't have any of mine on photobucket to post up......

 

I got a quart of paint, primer, new decals, stainless hardware for what I have tore apart now, new speed nuts and a new seat. I haven't even started taking it apart yet I'm getting anxious though. I almost started tearing it apart last night but realized I still need it for a few more weeks. Plus I want to make sure it's not leaking oil when I get the new gasket on

 

You could stop by a shop and them weld in a support (hanger) or install a damper close to the problem. A damper would be best of course.

Thing is, the system shouldn't be stressed anywhere. An exhaust that's stressed won't last and they get noisy due to vibration. You most likely know what mean. The damper or hanger should only keep the exhaust in place and not forced into position.

I'm not totally sure how I would fix it without seeing it, but I would want to replace the damaged pipe most likely.

 

Not at the moment, it's raining tonight and looks like it will be for a couple days. If it's not raining on Friday I will crawl under the truck and snap a couple.

 

Trust me, I spent way more on it than I wanted to when I redid it but I wanted it right. I already have an idea of what the 317 is going to cost to get restored and running, build the loader, three point hitch, and possibly backhoe.

 

Should I call this guy ? Think it would help ?

Not really.......

 

Tell him you'll have the wife call. Bet he won't answer

 

I don't have one of those anymore, -I did my time. My youngest daughter could explain this one. As bad as this sounds, she may have to dumb it down a bit.

 

Thought so, I had to ask..

 

Yeah, that's one of those how many way's can this go wrong situations.

 

I must be the only person in PA, OH, VA, and WV that has a red 04-08 F150. I've been looking on Craigslist for a red ARE/Leer fiberglass tonneau. Found every other color available but a red one. Well, I did find one red ARE but it was for a 5.5' bed. Maybe I should just repaint the truck so I can find a tonneau for it

 

You could use another color, then paint some high speed racing stripes (same color), for blending of course... (?)

No, I'm not serious. - Unless you like the idea. (?)

 

got some work done in the garage on my newest project. Pics once it gets more done

 

Rustoleum fluorescent green marking paint is on sale. Maybe use Touch Tone black for the stripe......hmmmm
