January 26th I said good-bye to big blue. That was my favorite truck so far.
I got a '21 F150 Powerboost. Hard to find a used Powerboost with 6.5' bed, but I found this one with 41k miles. It has the Max Tow package and the 7.2kW connection in the bed. Should be really useful for the pulling the tow behind camper and boondocking.
Life and winter has hampered progress, but here's where we sit at the moment.
In the bay with the 2015-17 intake.
All with the hood closed.
I went to a 96-04 Kmember, as I needed a little more drop under the oil pan. Still needed to clearance the back of the Kmember to get the pan down and foreward.
I have about 1/4" between the oil pan and the rack, but as you can see, the pan is still tucked up under the K-member
Right now I'm sorting out motor mounts. I have a couple ideas on what I want to do, but we'll see which one pans out. Ironically, I may wind up welding the factory mount pads back on, even if they're in a slightly different location.
The only real clearance issue is the u-joint on the steering shaft with the DS exhaust manifold. I think I can make it work OK with a little engine placement, a spendy steering shaft, and some clearancing (meaning grinding).

Hi, I'm looking for the bolt-on factory floor pan brace shown in the picture below. It's a curved brace that was on 87-88 dual exhaust T-bird or Cougar. Can pay with PayPal or whatever is convenient. Thanks!

Yeah, the car was pretty bad. But like a lot of those shows, some things look totally staged.
It cleaned up pretty well though, despite the typical worn consolette armrest and driver's seat. Paint was okay, didn't look like it had any rust. I saw some paint imperfections but nothing major. Overall a decent car. Best part was how the woman's daughter (~12ish) was excited for it to be her car.
