    That's a lot of work. I also suggest that you get new parts if you can afford it.

    I was planning on taking the bed off and painting the frame at some point (or at least cleaning it really well) so I'll probably do it then

    So the truck was vandalized about a week ago. Now my interior smells like rotting vegetation. BUT the police say they're close to finding out who did it which meannnnnssss.....I won't be pressing charges I'll be getting a new seat and possibly dash.
    Does anyone know if ford made a split bench for the 9th Gen or if the 10th Gen split benches will line up properly? Because a fold down console would be a very nice improvement.

    90-96 interiors should all swap pretty easily. Don't think the 97+ will fit though.

    Project for today is this puppy. Parking brake bracket.
    Previous owner tried to fix it with steel epoxy...obviously didn't work too well.

    Yeah turns out no auto parts stores carry that (parking brake equalizer) so I'm gonna have to go check out some junk yards on Monday. If that doesn't work, gonna have to drop about $20 through lmc

    Finally got a spare tire. Delivering pizza without one isn't exactly the smartest idea. $40 for the wheel and tire. Free lumber, and $16 for the hardware, and I've got myself a spare tire carrier. I hate carrying them under the bed idk why.
