Nice truck and bug-out retreat! Looks like a lot of fun.

Tested my fuel economy after the injector rebuild I did a few weeks ago and got 18.1 highway @55 mph with cruise off.

Not what I did to my truck, but what my cat did to it. She plucked a mouse out of the backside of the front bumper where it connects to the frame. She's a good little hunter. Truck was sitting in the driveway for only three days.

That is a nice truck. The flaresides are very rare, especially in good condition.

Today I'm cleaning and painting my steel wheels on the 1991 f150. 2 down and 2 to go.
Unfortunately the beauty rings scratched the rim edge when I put them on, but I have lots of paint if it needs to be redone.

Mirror, shifter boot and air injection hoses.

The swivel joint on the passenger side mirror was rusted away, so I used a 1/2" conduit coupling to replace it.



I also installed a new transfer case shifter boot and connected my air injection hoses.

Ordered a new Ford fuel selector switch for my 1992 F 250. Been having off and on issues with my fuel tanks specifically the rear tank. This is been an ongoing issue often on for about two years. I have brand new OEM Ford check valves in both the front and rear tank and have new fuel pumps as well. I just ordered the OEM switch from my Ford dealership so it’s from Motorcraft hopefully making my rear tank work again. When I went up north and towed my sons car and came back I could get only get the rear fuel tank to work one time. When it did work, it worked continuous for three hours and When I put the switch to the front tank could get it to work anymore for the rest the trip

Finally found the vacuum leak for the blend door. Fixed that with some electrical tape and i now have working defrosters again. Can't seem to find a replacement for those ridiculously tiny vacuum line tubes, i may have to rig something up with 1/8".

​​​​​Other than that, been daily driving the 89 f250 with the 7.3 idi, and that must've swelled up a few seals because it stopped leaking oil onto my driveway. And yes, it still has oil in it, lol

The exhaust system is complete for the first time since 2015. I also made a stand off bracket for my air injection tubing.
I discovered that my EGR valve is functional but the EVR isn't sending it vacuum.
