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

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.

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

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.

Build quality is so high you have to maintain it even before it's been used

A 7.3l pick-up is 'light duty'?

Light duty is up to 1 ton capacity (F350, altho it's about twice that) F150 is 1/2ton, F250 is 3/4 ton.
Medium duty starts at the F450, Heavy duty starts at F650.
Super Duty is just a marketing name.
