Project - "Rock Trac" Restoration

[MrQ]

Keep it up Chris! The way your going, we are going to see this thing fully built way before the run.

 

[TxPlates]

Ha! It'll never be "done", but it is ready for the run. I'm just tinkering around with getting all the plastics back on somewhat. The tie downs on the bedsides are a nice touch, so I thought I'd put those back.

I haven't been on the site much since John's passing and it's the first time I saw this thread. Kudos for keeping his memory alive in the best way possible.

Thanks Celly.

Today I decided to give the twins a bath, when I went out to back out JJ's Trac I'll be damned the super swamper on the left rear was dead flat!!! Has a nail in it apparently. So just filled it up and I'll get it plugged this week. But the twins did get a bath...

Second cleaning of the interior - really shines with some armorall hah

And where she's been....

X3 on that Chris!! Looking good!!!

 

[MrQ]

Its no fair that you get to have two of the best looking Sport Tracs on the site all to yourself, you know.

They look like a great pair Chris!

 

[TxPlates]

Thanks!

Do you know anything about the little placards on the dash? That's a pretty sweet idea.

 

[TxPlates]

I'm not sure who had them made, but he got them and put them on the dash for when he attended...not sure why there isn't one for his last round out there in 2010, but they will stay there till the truck falls apart.

 

[Keeper0311]

Thanks, I really liked that idea. Glad you're keeping it as JJ had it.

 

[CJExplorer]

Awesome

Looking Good. Glad to See it come back to life and not sit in a wrecking yard and be parted out.

 

[TxPlates]

You and me both Cj - she deserves way more than sitting and rotting away for what he put her through and wanted her to be. I hope to be able to keep her up as long as I possibly can with making improvements here and there that I know he wanted her to have.

Well today I put on 5 of the 6 bed tie downs, 3 of them I found on a sport trac bed that was going to be throw away cause it was so damaged (at a tow yard I was at) and 2 that ncranchero donated (arrived today thanks again!!!), the 6th has been ordered from Ford and should arrive by Friday in time to piece it on for the Memorial Run!

I also took off the plastic mount off the old bed I got the tie downs and replaced the broken plastic insert in the bed where the inverter can plug into - looking good!

 

[BigRondo]

It is a good thing you are doing my friend. Godspeed.

 

[TxPlates]

Thanks BigRondo!
