The various encapsulateors that I've tried seem to work pretty well. Haven't tried to apply bondo over it yet but I did paint over it. It wasn't exposed to the elements so the long term results haven't been evaluated. Yes, 60-40 is a good wiping solder. I'm just used to calling it by that...

I wouldn't use lead. I've been a master plumber for 40 years. Believe me when I tell you that wiping solder is the way to go. 60/40 or whatever Eastwood sells. Also, be careful what Flux you use. I'd use No carode . Acid Flux will come back to haunt you. Even with No Carode ,scrub it with...

I've been debating on wiping solder ,seam sealer or,panel adhesive.

I fought with my 89 pw conversion. I stopped just short of taking the door skins off . It probably would be easier if I had 6 or 7 hands. Then again,

Is the dashboard still available? I lost mine in a fire at the beginning of the month. Could you pm me a picture?

74 furry IIl ,like the blues Brothers

Aside from the spring mounts,would a 91/4" from a 74 Furry troop car fit a 89 d100?

II'm not aware of any controler kits. Would you mind posting what you've seen? Another thing that I neglected to mention is that the ecm only provides a ground/ground connection. If anyone has more information/experience with this, please post something.

I've looked at the Ron Francis 24/7 and it's gotten quite pricey. Aces has a power distribution center but not sure how much farther ahead I'd be with it. The thing is, I'm putting a 77 dashboard in my 89. Why? Because I like it better and the fuse box is where God (of your choice)intended it...

After a little more research, I've found the following: 1) you can control the OD on the 518(?) with a on/off switch 2) the cruise control has its own computer/module. That's as far as I've gotten.

I wrapped the 89 harness around the steering shaft (don't ask) so I swapped it with the 90 harness.

I wish it was that easy for me. Another thing, I've got a 77 dashboard and I'm debating on : 1)moving the 89-90 fuse box to the dashboard (great place) or: 2)buying the Aces "power distribution box ". 3) I looked at the Ron Francis boxes and : 1)The original is the cheapest way and the most...

I'm going to try to decipher the transmission wiring next. The book gets a little confusing as to what transmission it is . I know it's a OD with the backwards disengage button on the dashboard. A ,500?

On the cruise control, the testing only refers to the ecm being the problem on standard equipped vehicles. I really don't want to find out the hard way. Also, I'm sick of looking at all that wiring. Even though I wrapped it all with purple electrical tape. The harness from Aces is petty...

After finding a Track Lock, disc break conversion kit and a set of Tough Country traction bars,for my 8.25,I think that I can live with a 8.25.
