Feels like Christmas!

In my salvage yard prowls ive been keeping an eye out for a disc brake setup for my 69 F250. No luck.

Well, theres a 4x4 meet coming up and i figured if i want to tow my crawler out id better fix the taillights. Problem is my column is so sloppy and worn out nothing makes contact inside. So i had a few hours free today and decided to pull the column from my parts truck. Hell, while im here i might as well grab the power steering setup too. Crawl under and what do i see.....

Haha, that's awesome! You would have felt so foolish if you had discovered this AFTER doing a swap from a junkyard truck! Congrats. It's on my long term list of things to do.

Cheers,
