Yeah, if I put it back on I’d take the trim off, paint it argent, and get a new bow tie foil.
Nice rig!
Just going to leave this here...

That does look nice!
I’m a Bumperette fan.
I’ve been putting this project off for a while. Steering box had a ton of slop and was leaking so I decided to bite the bullet and buy a Borgeson steering box. Also got a steering brace and frame repair kit. I noticed a small crack on the frame when I was swapping the engine.
Cruised it around all day yesterday.

Well now that you got the fancy Offroad parts, maybe we can get a stock sesh in the books this year.
lol I think I’d cry if I hit the body on a rock. Dirt trails would be fun though.
Change of plans slightly. The cracks weren’t bad so I decided not to put that repair kit on. Thats a lot of work and I don’t think it was bad enough for it. Plus this is mostly a pavement rig anyway. I drilled out the cracks then ground them out and welded them up.
You can kind of see the ORD steering brace.
I think I will eventually get a Borgeson steering shaft as well, but this is a night and day difference. Much tighter and the 12.7:1 quick ratio is noticeable for sure.
Got some new open ended lug nuts to replace the crusty chrome flakey ones so that’s why I had the caps off. I think it looks pretty cool without them.

Good call on the frame repair. I think having the brace will be more than sufficient.
Please put the caps back on. Thank you.
P.s. we still need to go stock pretty truck “exploring”

that sounds kinda
Be careful saying that shit around the ford crowd, you might end up in the back country woods with bubba
The el-cheapo parts store engine mounts didn’t last long. I replaced them with some polyurethane energy suspension mounts. Should hold up a little better.
Did you go to the swap meet today? We didn't see you guys.

I bought some crappy ones for cheap. What did you give for those? I saw those, but he wanted more than I was willing to spend.

lol well…$40. I thought asking price was cheap at first then I thought I should have low balled him after I bought them. I think I could definitely make more than I bought them for. Kinda curious if they’d look good on the blazer.
Yeah, his price was not out of line. It was out of line with me being a tight ass.

Tossed the ‘76+ caps on to see how it looks. Better than I thought it would look.
I like it, but well you know why lol
Because you don't know how to park?
