But it's a 2 wheel drive, and a 4wd is what I wanted. It could be switched of course, but that's really getting into a lot of work. Besides, I have about $300,000 worth of new parts in the rust bucket now- tie rods, ball joints, u-joints, bearings, power steering parts, parking brakes... 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Yes, like I said they appear to be very well made and stout. I was expecting them to be flimsy but it's not at all. Still haven't gotten the other one yet. I ordered some cab mounts from J.C.Whitney for a 69 F100 one time, and they were just thin sheet metal, you could bend them with your hands. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 latest update- I got an e-mail from Summit, they asked me if I wanted to cancel the order for the other floor repair panel, because now the estimated ship date for it would be sometime in February. I said yes, I do want to cancel that order. So I found a place in North Carolina that dealt in Ford restoration parts, ordered it from there, and it was on the porch in a couple of days.

davehummell Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I ordered a Locar shifter for my hot rod last month and I won't see it till after February. The vega steering box took 2 and half months for that. I'm of the age that back orders like that make me worried I'll finish the damn thing.
