New Page: Interchange

[Gary Lewis]

Shaun - That's really good info.  Especially about the bed.  That makes interchange much easier.  Thanks!

Now I have to find time to update some things.....

For anyone who cares: I finished the disk axle swap this evening, but I haven't driven the truck with it yet.  This is the first new pic (for those who remember reading the older ones):



But this will show the whole album with all the captions on one page:

Looks good!

[Gary Lewis]

Yes, it does look good!  Have you had it on the road?  What do you think of the brakes?  How does the ebrake work?  That was a neat solution.

I finished after dark last night, so I'm about to go out & look over everything again before driving it.

But I'm having the crappy satellite internet removed from the house first, and that guy is about to arrive.

[Gary Lewis]

ATT/Dish keeps wanting to sell us satellite internet service.  NO WAY, JOSE!  I don't like our internet service provider, but their service continues to work through most of the storms we have while the satellite TV, and presumably the satellite internet, fails.  And, since our storm shelter is in the shop and I stream TV to the shop to watch the weather when it looks bad, there's no way I will go satellite for my internet.

Plus, having retired from IT, with a lot of networking experience, I know all about the delay.  (I once had the #2 guy in Conoco, UK ask me, in church, to fix the delay problem.  He was an engineer so I scribbled the equation for the distance and the speed of light and showed him that it can't be "fixed".)  And since we do a lot of Facetime with our grandkids there's no way I want that delay inserted in those conversations.

Rare '80-?86 Bronco 3rd-Row Jump Seats are identical to '7?-8? Datsun/Nissan King Cab jump seats (even though not a Ford source, it's the same part).

I was just searching the forum and came across this.  My 1991 F250 extended cab parts truck has those rear jump seats factory.  Not sure how common of an option it is on the extended cab trucks, but it is the only extended cab I have seen with those seats.

Good to know.  It confirms what Steve was saying.
