Hey Tom, there is forgiveness for being a GM man, all you have to do is repent and turn from your wicked ways and promise to never do it again!! Herb

Note to self: dropping a 130 lb sheet of plate steel onto a concrete shop floor from chest height is REALLY loud!
Self: Rubbing ear WHAAAT?!?
Luckily, I missed my toes/tools/etc.
In other news, my new welding table is ready for use… I’ll probably trim down the top plate (the thing I dropped) which is currently 6 inches wider and 4 inches longer than it needs to be.

You can do many things with an engine crane, when you lack a tree or a roof for lifting…
Don’t get too excited, this isn’t a woodgas build starting. I’m going after leaky fuel lines, on top of the gas tank… the irony is killing me.

That’s pretty impressive lifting engineering!

Glad you missed your toes.Have seen several large sheets of steel drop even from a distance it leaves you shaking.

On these newer trucks it’s way easier to pull the box than drop the tank. In a worst case you can call on 3 friends and a 12 pack

If anyone else has to replace Dakota fuel lines, at least on a 92, you need the Dorman kit labeled for Fords. 3/8 connector, 5/16 line, side clip. Don’t bother getting either of the Chrysler ones.

I got my Ford 8N running finally Intermittent electric short. Drove me nuts. While checking engine, I found the valves were too tight-- to tight means burnt valves eventually. I bought a Ford tool and adjusted them. Wow! What a beautiful sound, well adjusted solid lifters. The engine sounds like a Swiss watch or sewing machine with its sweet tick ticking sound. Long time since I adjusted solid lifters. ( that kind of brings back pride in doing mechanic work)TomC
