this truck was a yard truck for the steel mill that karl works for so its caked with mud and slag on the bottom so it pretty much sucks to work on

BTW, I hope this is the part where karl ponies up $35 and actually becomes a member of the club. Come on, you saved at least that much by making your own "wheel adapters". There's probably that much in change floating around in the seats of your various vehicles. Sell a motorcycle, sell some guns, stand on the corner and collect money for "Karl's holiest of holes foundation", do what you gotta do, but please to god part with the $35.

I think what Mike is trying to say is, while attempting to stand my deer stand up this weekend (it blew over in the storm, pinche rita!) 4 of us where pushing on it, someone yelled its rolling, get out from under it, to which I replied "wha" which would have been followed with a "t?" if the stand had not come down on me. Don't worry, my head broke its fall. For those that know me, I am not flexible, but somehow managed for my head to touch my toes. When it happened as I was heading for the ground I was thinking, and this is how I get decapitated (spelling?)
Anywho work has these neat little pills called "Back-Quell" 50% wicked strong pain medicine(probably morphine or something non addictive) and 50% caffine, so every morning I pop a couple of those and I feel like a puppy with two peters!
Hopefully, the man will quit working my ass to death and I will start some crap on the kogger, until then whenever you see rebar think of me!

Mike came in and help me this weekend. We got a lot done on the klog. I finished putting the 9" rear back in, it now has 3.55's instead of the 3.00's. Had to put some new brake lines on. I put new u-joints in too. Mike, The unofficial god of all things TTB, took apart the front axle. I finished the rear just in time to see him grinding the heads off the bolts that held the TTB differential in. The bolts were so rusted a socket would not grab them, I knew I should have bought a metrinch!
One of the bolts we hammered a metric socket on and then used about 2 feet of extensions and a pipe to try to get loose. The result was the bolt snapping and the pipe flying back at Mike knocking him square in the eye. He went down faster than a girl in pharmeceutical sales. He laid on the ground for about 5 minutes in the fetal position, while I kept asking hm if he was ok. Luckily he still had another eye and was able to continue working. Seriously though there is a clear straight bruise on his face from where the pipe tagged him.
Got the 3.55's in and discovered my front drive shaft sucks, it is all ragged out, so I will need a new one of those. We took it for a test drive and discovered the carb was jacked up from months of no use, so Mike called upon the Ford gods and we rebuilt it. It runs like a champ, it will spin the 38's if you power brake it enough.....
We also removed the front bumper and started work on a box frame winch mount combo.
Should be all ready for Clayton. I guess the Ford works in mysterious ways.

12-10-2005, 06:30 PM
Got some shat done today, I fixed the F250's brakes (turned rotors and new pads, the biggest challenge was convincing the idiots at O'reilly's that they could turn the rotors) I also changed the oil.

Figured out what was wrong with my brake controller, the dumba$$ who had the truck before me wired the brake wire into the center pin on the trailer connector (this is supposed to be for 12 volt supply to the trailer) fixed that and mounted the controller up, works like a champ

I also cut the winch off my trailer, now I need to weld it to my square tube I will use for a reciever hitch. Probably do that tomorrow, as it is getting dark and cold and I have some night life to go see in Beaumont tonight. I am also going to weld the above front box/bumper in tomorrow.

Then it should be ready, except for the front drive shaft. I ordered a good used one from ebay, but it has not come in. If not I will just run the one it has, though it will make some noise. Oh I might also look at mounting the suburban seat.

I think Mike is trying to be funny again. He is implying that my co-workers wrote that crap on the truck.... but what really happened is Louis's brother Jose wrote that on there. I might add the felatio portrait was quite good, I think he might have some experience with that up close, if you know what I mean.... Mike is just jealous, you see no one will right things like that on his EB. It's just implied if you own an EB you are obviously homo gay.

Karl has alot of pics to post on this. The pictures will explain alot.

This weekend we took the cab off and put the crew cab on. I did some kustom body slamming on this truck to make the body sit lower on the frame. It looks pretty sweet.

We also have a 302 FI motor to go in place. If karl would buy my dana 60 from me it would be pimp.

The day started by removing the old F-150 regular cab. Mike found out how the steel mill guys decided to combat rust, they fiberglassed the floor of the cab

Third pic is when we wheeled it out and just pushed the body off

4th pic shows how white trash my yard looked

5th pic is staging to put the crew cab on, We put the crew cab on kind of reverse of taking the old cab off, only we used my 8000lbs winch to yank it on. I have to give my buddy Jason Jones credit, this was his idea and mike and I did not think it would work, but it did.

KrazyKarl02
02-05-2006, 11:46 PM
We took the doors and seat off the new F350 cab.

PIC 1 - Here we have the body on, we had to do some "minor" torching for clearanceing.

PIC 2 - Here Mike makes some of those minor adjustments

PIC 3 - Then we had to do a bit of a body drop in the rear, so we had to cut some of the body, I checked and in a car show, this will not count off for originality points.

It was a crap ton of fun work, to answer afroman, we cut about 2' off the bed.

Big thanks to Mike and my buddy Jason Jones who donated their entire Saturday to doing this and all they got out of it was a lot of miller lite and to hit the crap out of the old cab with a hammer

By the way anyone want any pieces of an 1982 F-150 cab, it is going to the junker sometime this week

I also have the 302 running carb motor, complete air cleaner to oil pan for sale

This weekend I decided I need to remind myself how much I suck at welding and how hard it is to bend metal. I figured I would fix a couple of holes in the body. I started with the hole by the passenger rear tire. I laid out my plan with some paper, then checked to make sure what I was doing would not rub the when the tires were all the way up. I bought some 16 gauge steel and went to bending. It is really freakin' hard to bend that stuff when you are using your flat bed as a brake. After one failed attempt I managed to make a panel the kind of fit. Then went to welding and beating it into place with a hammer. It truly sucks cause you can only weld about an inch before you have to heat and beat again. Of course the fact that I suck at welding and this is really thin and I was using a stick welder did not help that much either. Anywho, the wheel should not rub, and the rear seat still fits.

KrazyKarl02
02-12-2006, 06:27 PM
Then I needed to modify the door, so I cut the inner skin out, heated the outside up and pounded it around, It looks pretty crappy, but its the klogger, and the door seal still kind of works.

I would have got more done, but the man made me work on Saturday, now for the other side.... and the other gaping holes...

KrazyKarl02
02-12-2006, 06:29 PM
Oh yeah, when I am done I am going to smear body seam filler over the stuff that did not get welded up, like the back area, then I will probably herculine the bottom too.

This past weekend we finished the gas tank install, ran some fuel lines, installed the newer 302 with FI, and hooked brakes and etc up. The wiring needs to be finished on motor and it should be a bad dude.

The Klogger is making good progress. I have finished the wiring for the engine and can now be started from the cab completely. It is a bit cold natured when you first start it in the morning, but once warm it starts right up. I have the fenders on and the core support is in place. I have filled the radiator with water to check for leaks. No leaks so far. It idles steady for 15 minutes plus. Just have to button it up. I went to pick a part and got a air cleaner, that helped idling a lot!!!

Things left to do:

Swap 10.25 in rear end, this is locked so much better
Bleed brakes
Finish bolting up lights and grill
Radio and CB type stuff
Drink

We will be working on it Sunday if anyone wants to hang out.

Jones, Luis, and Mike came over today and helped. Luis and I started by buttoning up the fenders. We then took it for a ride around the block. It sucked. Turns out the computer must have been learning. Cause it started working better. In fact it would even spin the tires if you power braked it. Filled the power steering up. While we were messing with the engine the upper radiator hose fell into the fan and cut in half, BIG FUN!!! So we got a new one and went back to work.

Installed the grill and lights (yes they work, even the blinkers and horn) Then we removed the old 9" and installed the 10.25. We put all new brakes, drums, hardware, etc.. on it. Put the wheels on. and it was time for nappy.

Still have to put the shocks on the rear axle, modify the rear drive shaft so it will fit (the 10.25 pinion is 4" closer), Bleed the front brakes, and bolt the hood on.

CLAYTON, HERE WE COME!

KrazyKarl02

Oh only issue is when you are at idle and hammer it down, it stumbles real bad. We checked fuel pressure and lots of other things. At the end of the day I think the computer is still learning and the fuel injectors might be abit gummed up. We put some fuel injector cleaner in it. I am going to drive it every day after work this week. It runs good and when you ease into the throttle it has no problem.

Any ideas?

Most importantly the cooler is installed I used a "4-Link" system, as in 4 bungee cords. The cooler is the most important part so the redundancy of bungee cords results in a highly reliable system for transportation of ice cold beverages....

Also, put the rear drive shaft in. Frick was nice enough to let me borrow a front driveshaft. The original klogger shaft was looser than Mike's sister.

Just to treat the Klogger nicely I changed the engine oil and filter. Than Frick and I took her for a spin around the neighborhood. Engine is still a little angry, but getting better. I had Frick follow me up to the corner gas station and I put gas in it. I think the WT that worked in the gas station wanted to hang out with Frick and I and possibly perform felatio on us, which would have been nice since she had no teeth. Got it up to around 50mph on the way there. Upon returning to the casa we did a "driveline test" and yes the new rear axle will lay rubber.....

Loaded it on the trailer, put some tools and spare parts in. Tomorrow I will hook the trailer up to my truck, put some firewood in. Stow my frosty beverages, and go to Jerry's.

02-21-2008, 11:30 PM
I had a kluster of kraziness this week. I bought a new brake line and installed it. Then to be extra Krazy I bought a new O2 sensor (note this increases the total amount invested in truck by 4%). I drilled a hole in the exhaust pipe using my awesome Harbor Freight stepped drill bit. Next I had to pull the klog up to the garage as close as possible (some a--hole put a rusted out Grand Trashonal in the way) and weld an O2 bung on.

The O2 bung looks like crap for 2 reasons 1) I welded it and 2) my mig would barely reach it, I had like 6" to spare (insert penis joke here).

Anywho I installed the O2 sensor and took the Klog for a ride. I had unplugged the battery to reset the computer, so the klogger computer was learning all over again. I got it out on the street, 1st gear, 2nd gear, oh my god I caught 3rd, a new record for the new engine. Just then the computer must have way over adjusted and richened the mixture. The klogger backfired with a resulting fireball flying out from the under carriage!!!!!

The cab began to fill with noxious fumes!!! I thought the back fire had lit something on fire, I had to lean my head out the window to avoid being asphyxiated!!! I limped it home (mind you the truck was good, I was limping or being poisoned by CO!!!).

Looked under the truck and the backfire had blown the muffler to shat!

Looks like it is new exhaust time, Bet I can do it for under 50 bones....

As many of you witnessed this weekend The Klogger wanted to look its best for the 10 year anniversary. Here are the steps it under went.

You can also look at this as why never to let Karl alone in the paint aisle....

First step was sand it down and prime, I used a hand orbital sander from Harbor Freight and some 60 to 200 Grit paper. I shot one coat of primer then sanded, then shot a second coat and lightly sanded.

Harbor Freight cheap orbital sander worked well.... Great Success, high five

KrazyKarl02
03-02-2008, 10:53 PM
Next was the part that really shows the difference in a "paint job" and a SEMA Level Paint Job. I made The Klogger 2 tone with a maroon stripe on the bottom. I then sprayed the emblems and grill the same maroon. I used a rattle can for this, for one main reason, O'reilly's does not have a great choice of real paint colors.

KrazyKarl02
03-02-2008, 10:56 PM
Here it is just after I removed the taped off areas. 2 layers primer, 3 layers color, 2 layers clear. I used a gravity feed spray gun also from Harbor Freight, it cost 14.99... Great Success

I put The Klogger's name across the hood in glitter letters. I used red glitter letters because it shows a slight contrast between the maroon and white, this of course shadows the problems we are having with this country's upcoming election.

Well that and it was the closest color Walmart had.

I know this is going to sound crazy, but after the tire hitting 2 sets of stock front brake lines I went ahead and ordered some for a 6" lift from rough country. They were the cheapest. Put them on tonight. I am really excited to have brakes again.

Time to dust the Klogger off and get it ready for Clayton. During the off season the klogger sits in my yard pulling boats up the hill, trees down, and other various activities it was never intended for. So here is what needs done:

1) Fix Brakes - the rear end is all new. The front TTB is so boofed, we'll just say it's there. I bought 6" lift lines, but after installing I have a leak, I think I must have missed a copper gasket.

2) Throttle Body - It has a tendency to stick about 3/4 open, makes life interesting. I need to pull one from a junk yard or if anyone in the club has one let me know.

3) Throttle Cable - Boofed from previous problem....

4) Tighten driver's seat. The bolts are loose

5) Radio - I need some tunes, I have a head unit, need some speakers, I might just duplicate the Boat stereo as it worked out well

6) Possibly mount Mike's old Bronco seat on the back....

7) It stumbles when punching the gas, any fuel injection guru's want to help? Fred, Flem? I'll buy beer.

8) On the trailer I need to check my bearings

9) Take brake controller from Death 250, install on Cheby

10) Look at fan shroud and tranny cooler, I have had some issues....

11) Load Cooler

Discussion Point:

Earlier I was criticized about needing an anti-wrap bar. This was because of the blocks on the rear axle. I have wheeled it several times and not had a rear axle hop issue.

I have BDR's old lift axle wrap bars. Who think it is worth installing? Who thinks f' it, it seemed to drink, I mean run last time, run it as is?

just take the throttle body apart and clean the rod that operates the butterflies, mine stuck on me before WFO, took it apart cleaned and lubed it in about 30 min and has been good since then

for the throttle cable, mine was fubared too where the plastic sleeve was at the throttle body, you should be able to get it from the parts store for a few bucks, simple and easy to install

I think you should put the bars on. Once you find the bushings for them (I'm sure luis can dig some up) it couldn't take but a couple hours to add the brackets. It's just worth it for the added protection of your axle...you've already blown one 9inch pinion.;)

Maybe add some junkyard seatbelts to the back seat? Or at least some oh **** handles...it gets pretty rough back there.

For tunes I can make you a sweet deal on a MTX 4 channel amp...and I'll throw in some 10" subs to go with it (don't have the box anymore, not that it would fit in the klogger anyway).

They can be mounted on top of the axle as well. I didn't have the room on my truck to do it that way, that's why they were mounted below the axle. Rusty uses these same bars on his blazer (the beater) and has them mounted inboard above the axle.

Later I decided the klogger needs some thump. I mentioned earlier I had purchased a hi performance radio with 4 speakers (it cost $85 total plus shipping, very performance....) I was faced with a problem. I wanted outside speakers plus inside ones. Also I wanted to be able to turn the outside speakers off, so I went to work.

I cut these holes in the back cab and made some kustom speaker boxes.

They looked steel, but I did not know there was a difference. They were the cheapest O'reilly's had. I have a Dana 60 for the front, just not sure when I will put it in, so I am not concerned about the TTB lasting forever. I had to replace the calipers because stopping was sucking and I did not want to do a reverse Fred on any hills in Clayton.

TMatheaus
12-07-2008, 10:49 PM
look at the part number on the box, if there is an s behind the number then they are steel, more than likely they were the phenolic ones

Seth

Seems the phenolic are pretty common and would be fine unless they are getting heavy duty use.

Looking on O'Reilly's site I would say they are phenolic. I don't think it will be an issue, the Klogger is not a street vehicle.

I put a quick connect thing hooked directly to the battery on the klogger and wired up the winch controller for dash control. For now it is all removable, if/when I permanently mount a winch I can use the controller wires and terminate them in the solenoid box.

I had some issues with where to put the controls in the cab. I had to remove a piece of the dash and make a little pan out of sheet metal. There is a switch that "arms" the controls. This switch is 90 degrees of the other switch so it can not be easily bumped. The other switch, is winch in and out. The switch is hooked to red and green lights. The green light indicates the winch is pulling in (truck is going forward) and the red is the opposite.

When tightening the ring gear one should do which of the following:

A) Torque studs to over 100 ftlbs
B) Clean old oil off
C) Use lock tight
D) All of the above
E) Drink a beer

Apparently someone thought it was option E.... It actually ate the head off of one of the bolts. Surprisingly the ring gear looks ok. Sterlings are tuff...

After the creek I am changing all fluids, what do you think of the front diff fluid?

Did warn start making these crappy?

I bought it from Frick, it had 3.55 gears in it, not sure where he got it from, but it is possible that it is your axle.

This weekend I did some work on yee old Klogger. It has had an overheating issue off and on. At Trees I attributed it to the timing, but just to be safe I went ahead and changed the thermostat and water pump. I mean hell the water pump is like $30 new... I also changed the timing chain, it was a bit loose, but not horrible.

I upgraded the alternator to a Ford G3. You can read about it hear:
