Sometime ago I fell into a deal for a 1978 F-150 (300 6 cylinder) with a little over 55K original miles. I finally had acquired the parts I knew it would need, so today I replaced the rear brakes (drums, shoes, rebuilt the wheel cylinders, and all new hardware inside the drum), then replaced the motor mounts (left totally shot, right getting there), dropped the pan to the C6 tranny (new filter, pan gasket and fluid), replaced all hoses and belts (flushed radiator), replaced valve cover gasket, push-rod cover gasket, oil/filter change and rebuilt the 1 barrel carburetor. 11 hours total with only one trip to the parts store to get hardware for lower motor mount bolts (why they don't ship them with the new mounts I'll never know, cost $.98). Damn I hate holiday weekends. Tuesday I will tag it, insure it and get it through inspection. Right now heading to the tub to soak my aching body and get some of this grease and grime off of me. Good thing the wife is camping with her church group this weekend, it might be tomorrow before I get around to cleaning the tub.
