Brakes were complete gone through by Donahue Auto in early 2012 and they replaced a caliper in the front and a Brake Cylinder in the rear.
I had to replace the front brake line that runs across the axle so that is new.
New Battery 5/1/2012 (Megatron II)
New Flaming River Steering Shaft installed 2011 and is practically unused as of yet.
New Ignition set installed 2011 (thought this was where the battery was draining but it wasnt so that is new)
New Flowtech painted headers, new exhaust pipes, and (2) new 31" cherry bombs making true dual exhaust sound!
Transmission shop replaced 2 new U-Joints in the driveline that were going bad..
New ignition and key set 09-2011, new voltage regulator 05-2013
Factory options
Dana 44 Front is reinforced and it looks to be factory installed (disk brakes up front)
Ford 9 inch rear end (Drum Brakes) Donahue auto said they were fine no work needed other than the driverside brake cylinder was replaced.
It has a couple options that were on Free Wheeling Broncos like the cactus pusher on the front bumper and the rally style steering wheel. (both of which are rare items)
Body:
The body needs help if you plan to make it a show truck or restore. I am leaving the truck as is because it will be for trails and light road use. The top comes off and on easily and I have not had any leaks of any kind. The rear window has always worked for me.
If you have any more questions let me know in a message.
This vehicle just finished up at the transmission shop, and just came back from the exhaust shop getting the cherry bombs installed.
The body work will be the last major work. If that is your specialty this is the vehicle for you. If you just want a nice mud truck or trail truck and could care less about the exterior this is definitely the truck for you. Ford V8, C6, NP205, Detroit Lockers, 4.10 gears, 6" of lift, fullsize classic vehicle, 37" tires! Upgraded brakes, fresh transmission, tons of added power to the super strong 351M.

Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.
Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
