Both fuel pumps bad, and a previous owner cut open the bed to access the rear pump, so that needed welded back up. And it needed shocks, and a pinion seal, and rear axle seals, and u-joints. Having the bed off gave me access without having to lay on my back and reach overhead, something my shoulder complains about. :-)<br /><br />Rich in Kynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3849017459291954430.post-77762619204029850142017-09-19T05:29:32.592-07:002017-09-19T05:29:32.592-07:00I had a '96 with the 300 six, 5 speed and long...I had a '96 with the 300 six, 5 speed and long bed. I had real good luck with it. Looks like yours has been a pretty big project if you went to the trouble to yank the bed off - especially if you were nursing a bad shoulder. Nice having a tractor to help out with that sort of work, though. Looks like you've got a nice shop to work out of as well. That helps.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!<br />Shop Teacher Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149540228110391917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3849017459291954430.post-49135907234236111032017-09-18T06:29:56.172-07:002017-09-18T06:29:56.172-07:00Got my project "Blackie" farm truck back...Got my project "Blackie" farm truck back together, mostly. Still have to put the rear lights back together, and straighten the rear step bumper a bit before putting it back on, then will license/insure it for the road. Just using it around the farm for now, hauling t-posts, wire, and other fence material in the field. Love the long bed, the 300 six, and the manual five speed, although it's geared a little high for start/stop farm work. Everything drivetrain and chassis related from the cab on back is like new, but keeping the cab and bed's whiskey dents and faded paint as/is. Pictures are me putting the bed back on, and after bed installation.<br /><br />https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8ksroAbE5SFZDNzNDN6b1VjWUU/view?usp=sharing<br /><br />https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8ksroAbE5SFMFFDS09wT3ROUDg/view?usp=sharing<br />Rich in Kynoreply@blogger.com
