Burnished the stainless Cat shield with a red fiber disc on an angle grinder... I may need an intervention.

Re: The F350 Thread
Did more detailing under the truck. Trimmed a skosh off both ends of the tail-gate seat, finished with a 3/8 round-over bit in the router & then applied spar-varnish.
This is an older *before* pic:
*After* looks just like it, but a bit narrower.

Re: The F350 Thread
More fucking sanding....
Today I'm working on the left front part...I'm at #220 dry so far.
Middle & rear pieces are already (mostly) done to #800 wet (thank fuck). Right front still needs work.

The best thing about that auction is the fact you're allowed to make comments at the bottom

People bidding it up & there's still 4 days to go, I see the seller took care of the rust underneath it.

Re: The F350 Thread
E4OD fits the 460, would just need to sort out the electrical side of things... in fact he could have fitted a later 460 with fuel injection (& a serpentine belt for ancillaries). Plus it looks like he rattle-canned the frame without doing any prep. It's a real mess underneath.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 10:21 am Spends loads building and fitting a modded engine, leaves the 3 speed gearbox in place

Re: The F350 Thread
A 7.3l pick-up is 'light duty'? 
(I thought they were 'super duty'?).

Re: The F350 Thread
Light duty is up to 1 ton capacity (F350, altho it's about twice that) F150 is 1/2ton, F250 is 3/4 ton.Count Steer wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2024 8:58 am A 7.3l pick-up is 'light duty'?

Medium duty starts at the F450, Heavy duty starts at F650.
Super Duty is just a marketing name.
