U bet your bottom im.going to.stuck around there guy mi matter what get some rest and we all thank u for your kind words and thoughtfulness I well always be a fan nk matter what we all appreciate ur time and good content great Jon on the column
It never ceases to Amaze me, how much damage people will do, to "Repair" something... Great job on the "Refit" of the column... Glad to See Ya Back... I know exactly what you're going through, cuz I have 3 Trashed Disks, in my lower back, and there are days (or weeks) where I just can't get anything done... So Keep up the Great Work, and Keep Pluggin' Along... We'll get there... 💪💪💪
You totally understand. You can feel great, then just sneeze, and your back goes out. It sucks that thing was so beaten up, but it's a win for now. Thanks for the well wish on the back.
Great job! I think it was like a 1992 but the early to mid Ford pickup trucks all you have to do well I ain't going to sit here it's very easy to pull the ignition assembly out of it. We're talking 3 seconds that's without breaking anything. It's kind of scary that they got set up like that
Man you're a lot fussier than I am, when I converted to 5sp from 3 on the tree on my 64 Comet I knocked the pin and took out the shifter. I blocked the hole with one of those chrome plugs you used to cover an unused aerial hole, it does not look out of place. On the other hand finding a floor shift column in Austria or importing it would have been a nightmare, so... Hope you get the right self-cancelling switch, mine was broken too and what I got needed a lot of filling and adapting to work right. But at least they're cheap so you could always try to order from more than one source if it does not work.
I'm usually not so picky, this is the one car I own. I'm trying to make nice. I ordered my switch from Dennis Carpenter. Unfortunately Chinese junk I'm guessing. Thanks for watching
@@flatbrokegarage never used Carpenter so I cannot tell where he sources his stuff but I guess most of these parts are indeed made in Commie C. My US supplier was Melvins Ford out of Conyers GA and they were generally very good, but by the time I found out the switch did not fit correctly I already messed with it so could not send back. Besides where I am reclaiming something in the US is a right pain (I would only say one thing: never ever do direct business with McLeod clutches), so I prefer to persist locally if I can... Yes your car looks good👍
@tturtle1659 you know, I forgot all about Melvins. Funny thing is they are just over 100 miles from my house. Close to my son's house. I could have just gone there. 😆
Ah mate. For some reason I haven’t seen your videos for a while. Glad to find your channel again. He he. Anyway. Sorry to hear about your back. I struggle with all sorts of, but my back is bad. Look after it. It doesn’t get better the older you get. I feel your pain. Well nice video. Thanks
I had a 1970 Torino with the 351 power plant i had it about 5 years I loaned it to my wife one day a laundry truck totaled it. Oh well cars don't last forever but glad you are getting back one you had. On my U.S. Army 1952 Dodge 3/4 T M37 I started working on the brakes never worked on anything this big.ua-cam.com/video/QfE1nDGwNb0/v-deo.htmlsi=a0xZWpCTCqKPiQ2n
I had an M37. Great rigs, just a bit slow. The breaks are definitely different. I upgraded mine to a GM 1 ton master. Worked a lot better. They even offer a disc brake conversion. I'll check your link. Thanks for watching!
I wonder if the 71 cougar column is the same as your 71 torino. I searched for a second to see, not much results. If they were I would have hooked you up with one of the one's that I have.
The column looks good. I want to get one of the matchbox cars (hopefully you will have some we can buy or win). How is the gov diesel truck coming along?
I'm going to get 4 or 5 of the diecast Falcarinos for myself and a live cast giveaway. They will also sell them on there sight. Diesel van the engine is bad. I may just sell it. We will see
Get better soon, my friend! Well done with the column!
Getting there. Thanks!

I'll have my feet up a few more days. But I'll be back soon
Love your honesty and transparency. Just take it easy and enjoy the ride.
Thanks. Right now I'm an old fat guy with my feet up for a few more days
At least you were able to use it. It would probably have sat in my corner another 3 years lol
Yep, worked out great
You can use the upper collar off your old column they are the same

I never thought about a pickup truck. Good idea
@@flatbrokegarage thanks

So glad you back! Main problem is I'm fat and worked road construction for 30 years. I'm just taking it easy for a while

Oh wow, I never thought of that!
Fine job. I learned something new.
Thanks! Glad I was able to help some
i have a column shift in mine. I just cut the rod off in the engine bay and the shifter is gone
I gave that a thought if this didn't work out
The column looks good. I want to get one of the matchbox cars (hopefully you will have some we can buy or win). How is the gov diesel truck coming along?

@@flatbrokegarage hopefully I win one or they post a link to order one. To bad the engine was bad on the truck
