    Sweet deal. Also, I googled body bushing locations. I can't find them. I have no bushings in the back. Would like to know where they would go. Stupid question I'm sure. But this is my first time around

    Maybe some of the LMC truck body diagrams could help?

    Hey all,

    Giving an update on the rig.
    Changed the ignition coil with a new shiny MSD. Apparently it was the original OEM one and it looked pretty burnt up.
    Changed the dizzy cap, rotor and spark wires. As well the spark plugs with new Motorcraft ones.
    The rotor and the tabs in the old dizzy looked almost fused. Pretty damn bad.
    Changed the rear shocks with some new tuff country 4" shocks.
    Waiting for my front shock.. Any time now suspension connection.. *cough*

    My next thing to do needs to be to see if there is anything else to help my engine. She seems like shes getting tired. Don't want her to go yet! Just hit 178000 miles with her.
    The transmission is also getting abit old. She seems to give a kick from 1st to 2nd. But not all the time. Its going to probably need a rebuild as well.


    AND AFTER ALL THAT. I need to deal with two rot spots. Which I cant complain about. I have a rot hole underneath the cab on passenger side. And a rot hole in the header panel I suppose its called. That metal part behind the grill, headlights and before the radiator.


    Any suggestions I appreciate always.

    Anode garbage on the rotor for sure.

    Try Seafoam to the engine.
    Just follow
    the on can instructions.

    POR-15 is the best product I've found
    to stop rust in its tracks.
    Read some online reviews about it.

    Yes it's expensive but from the size
    areas you described you may only
    need a pint and a chip brush.

    Unless you want to go in full kill, cut out, patch panel weld in, finish, primer and OE paint.
