Che's 2005 F-150 Rebuild Thread

Good progress Jose.

I want to know about that old Falcon!

What's the story on the old Falcon, that you have the bumper sitting on ??

That's a 62 Falcon 2 door my brother bought a few years ago as a project car. It has a straight 6 and a 3 speed manual. Its actually for sale now that we rented out the yard and cant work on it any more. I always wanted to get a turbo coupe Tbird so I could swap the drive train into the Falcon but we never got one. We even toyed with the idea of putting a 4 cylinder Toyota or Nissan engine in it when we would get them in the yard. We wanted to make it automatic too.

Does it run at all??
What condition is it in and how much do you want for it??

It runs but it needs some work. The fuel pump went out so it has an electric one for now. The body is in decent shape but it has a dent or two and needs paint.

After being stuck in the DMV for a couple hours I went to the yard to work on the truck. I got the upper bumper pad brackets from Ebay last week so I pumped to put them on. They also hold the headlights in place so I was able to test fit the lights before I bolted the lower brackets and the trans cooler in place. I'm pretty close to being done. I was able to find the horn at the neighbors yard from an Explorer, it was free. I should be done soon. On to the pics.

The trans cooler is a little beat up but it never leaked so its still good. I know the truck looks weird but its coming along pretty good. Its my FrankenF150. Its got the the FX2 valance from Dave's old F150, the headlights, hood, bumper brackets and foglights from Leo's truck and the grill from my brother's truck. Thanks Guys!

Looks like you'll have your truck back together before Jeff finishes that siding job...

Nice work!
