Went down to LA yesterday, picked up a winch for the FC. It originally had a PTO driven Ramsey. It still has the factory Ramsey winch bumper luckily.

Spent most of the finishing the turn signal and brake wiring. Started wiring up the gauges..

Almost forgot the wayalife decal

Looking good my man. Does this winch function?

It's gear drive off the pto (connects to the t-case). So it should. I don't plan on hooking it up at this point.

A very long time ago I had a badass 1973 F350 4x4 with a utility service bed, it also had a front bumper mounted 12,000lbs PTO driven winch......which I found out was the absolute fastest way to burn up your transmission's clutch :icon_crazy: Very difficult to find a good technique to winch, not stall the motor, and actually get yourself recovered. No sir, not a fan of the PTO on trucks.

The FC is looking cooler ever time you post an update :rock:

Lol, I bet. I'm scared shitless to run it. If I get to the point of needing a winch it, ill use someone else!

Chris, I spotted this super clean FC150 at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction late last night. Not to keen on the Coca-Cola inspired theme, but the truck was pretty sweet. Thought I would share it with you.

^^^ and you didn't help a brother out by taking the seats?!? :cheesy:

 

[piginajeep]

Damn!! Nice find. Sneak back in and get the seats!!!

12V rewire is finally done, time to clean up and hide the wiring best I can. It's a flat dash with the bottom exposed. Only so much you can do.

I added a tach and had to install a new turnsignal lever. The old one would only turn left
