All but one PS Hose is here, PS Pump replacement is on and all but gear is drained of old PS Fluid. New Tensioner pulleys on, and all cab mount bolts out clean. Received the Taiwan made replacement Head and front TS Lamps, appear constructed as a Direct OE replacement. Soon as rear brakes are complete down to Bleeding and tires BACK ON, will set up to lift the cab for Turbo remove..
SO Glad kept my OLD automotive tools.

Rear brake assemblies and hubs back together, Brakes still dry and will be that way until cab is set back down. Turbo is here but remaining pieces for that may be into Monday next week to arrive.
Will bag the two rear brake/hub assemblies, then ready to paint rear frame section tomorrow. After paint dries, will set next body mounting brackets and reset fuel tank, possibly install rear shocks and rear wheel park brake cables.

99 and 2000 SD Fords only ones to do this. Same calper both sides, brake lines significant difference on both, is a heavy shield goes around the Left one. A True oddity to this model and year.

So Far So Good.
Front Brake hoses on, tubing Connected, old Core Support Mounts cut away removed and frame cleared of loose rust. Rear Frame was painted with tank rehung, PBrake parts installed and rear axle/brake repairs done down to bleeding, Cab is Up, turbo swapped and awaiting other engine parts to ready to reset the cab. Have the new mounts ready for that point. Likely to paint front frame Today.

Nastiness ALSO contended with. Found the source of harness chew ons, cleaned next out of engine valley, where around same amount was sucked up with a Shop Vac. The Dead Varmint was darn near to mummified as been dead so long. Materials were chewed away engine compartment insulation.

I may have missed it somewhere, but depending on how many miles you have on the truck, Id look into refreshing the injectors/hpo system while its easy to get to.

340k on the truck, not going that deep for a now 5000mile a year truck. Turbo was leaking, brakes needed work, rust needed updating where the old machine is going to be relegated to Farm Chores here out.

Latest and Greatest news USPS distribution center in Nashville TN got weather snarled. My Priority Mail parts shipment is languishing in some bin there and been in that bin since Jan 27. Shipment number updates stopped J28 and absolutely nothing as to support on finding or moving my parcels. Cab hangs as parts go on engine. No idea WHEN or even IF will receive. Have to wait at least a week to have supplier send out a second shipment where they noted Nashville is really bad for this, any excuse to ignore mail.

Looking GOOD there, Dave,,definately a labor of love but will be like or even better than new when you finish up,,,  I can relate to your frustration with USPS I have recently had to go thru several OH, OH's with USPS and the resident Post Master does not seem to be very interested in anyone's issues,,,!! I had ordered an item that originated somewhere "Over Yonder" and after getting a ride to see the whole world (two weeks) it finally made it to Austin, Tx and then languished there for 32 days before some "observant" postal employee noticed the package in that cubby hole, pulled it out and sent it on it's way,,,,!! SHEEEESH,,!! Since then,,,I've had my RFID wallet magically get removed from it's plastic shipping bag and bag taped up by USPS with a tag "DELIVERED IN DAMAGED CONDITION",,,,Then,,just yesterday received a box with a "hand sized hole" in the side of box with several loose items rolling around inside. I'm going to take both examples to the Post Master to get his comments and file a claim. Double SHEEESH,,!!

Spoke with local postmaster as he is handling my side of the issue where the Cottontown OP is handling the shipper's side, Nothing yet, HOWEVER he noted the dates were as that nasty Ice Storm hit that region after us, he then noted the Truck or Tractor Trailer carrying said parcel likely was wrecked, could possibly have spilled ALL the mail to the ground where TN Highway's Department is often rash in loading ALL the "Trash" from a crash in Dump trucks and hauling to the dump regardless What was spilled.
That stated, have to await 15 WORKING Days, from time of Reports, in our case could be Either as the Accident occurred or when I voiced concerns, either way will be just at TWO MORE Weeks prior to accepting the Priority Mail is permanently lost where either shipper or recipient can apply for the $100 insurance on that $300 worth of engine parts. Will be in touch with Swag Performance that day of end of two weeks, as they will need to contact PO and send me another ALREADY PAID FOR Shipment I never received.
So today I lowered the cab back to the frame where it can sit unattended for next two weeks.

I may be going through much the same here Dave, making valiant attempt to purchase a 2010 F-350 with a blown turbocharger so the cab needs lifted. 6.4ltr engine and full four door cab. Can't justify the cost of relatively new and I can repair this one.
Gets so damned annoying dealing with the shipping morons any longer. Lost two jobs as wasn't able to get to them before the parties bugged out before the severe weather hit. One job got parts for and now need to send them back as task performed in AZ, the other still haven't received anything in the order and it's been canceled.

Postal Service is no help, boxes received of FEDEX and UPS have been looking as run over instead of hauled, just Mauled, USPS is no better. Local Carquest owner and I spoke on this, he Just Received parts ordered Dec 23, were off in never never land and client bought elsewhere so he is now stuck with odd parts for a ancient Subaru no one around here owns.

Received my USPS notice Package is SUPPOSED to arrive Tomorrow. Will see, likely Saturday. Has been Floating in USPS Black Hole since 01/24/24. Wondering if ANY of the order will have survived.
So Completed the Frame Paint, even sprayed rear hitch and reinstalled. Had sat cab back down but raised back up today. Had PLENTY of time so cleaned up floor around truck. Ordered .023 wire for the Millermatic 210, already have wire rolls and tips, bought a Liner for the lighter wire but been told can get away with heavier liner if not using full time.

Above under covers parts fully installed, Cab is sitting on new mounts but had to stop and take care of Sick Wife.
Seems she had a BAD Week of Training, went to a Local Liquor Slushie Shop, got a tad inebriated and had me come get her. Three puke stops five miles, had to carwash car today and lysol wipe the inside of passenger door, ICKY. She is suffering, quietly on the couch currently.  |

Boots were a No Go item, too stiff, too thick and too sticky to slip onto the hard housing connections. Reinstalled OEM for now until figure those out.
That said got brake leaks where were occurring sealed up(MANY), managed to get all the base engine compartment materials set and had engine running today, no leaks to note and turbo spooled into service just fine. As to the Brake leaks, the New SS Tubing requires a LOT of Brute Crush to get the Double Flares to seat out, got that from my brothers who have also used them.

Did a bit of math on So Far and what is to come, should be just under $12,000 in repairs on the beast including the SRW Flatbed and tool box gonna put on that. Current expenses at under $5000.

Have gotten all the rusty panels off the Left side now. Photos I have on the phone just not downloaded yet.
Some dressing work on previous spot welds, and must have been 200 of them on Left side, then predrill new Inner Rocker for MIG welding in place, Weld Thru Primer on as much as can cover then weld it up. First back on will be fit up and install Corner, then Rear Door threshold, then the Forward Door threshold. Then move to Right Side repeat.
Guy from Minneapolis deals with Roll Offs and End Dumps called on the KW, gonna come look Monday or Tuesday with his Wife, SHE saw it on Truck Paper. I have No real hopes of a sale, but he is driving 8 hours to come see.
