Re: Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
The filter fitting unscrews and the explorer parts can swap right over.

Re: Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
Hard to say. Ford put them on the explorers for a reason though.

Re: Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
Yes. As long as you have the explorer hollow bolt and big and small o-rings. It's a tight fit between the cooler and the cross member. You might have to remove the drip rail from the cooler. You can also clock the cooler up a little by trimming the locating tab.

Re: Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
Looking good Chris. You have gotten a lot done! My fan sits inside my shroud a little too far and doesn't draw air properly. I'll have to see what you fab up and copy how you do it but with the right depth for me.

Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
Thanks. I will probably make the shroud that's listed on the Ccb serp write up. Just need to go get the aluminum. Got the wiper motor and mechanics installed. Also picked up my new to me wheels and tires.

Re: Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
Got the tail lights, sidemarker lights and all the rear wiring in.. so thats done.. i hope. I guess i need to order up some stuff from one of the vendors and get started on the dash so I can get that steering in.. and then brakes... etc etc etc
Decided to order my EFI harness tomorrow, get that ball rolling.. then it just leaves headers and a fuel tank... maybe next month ;)
dropped 2 of the 7" wide slots off yesterday to get fixed up... had a bit of road rash and one was out of round.. so having them fixed.. decided i would bite the bullet and polish them as they wanted way too much to polish... i know its going to take some time.. but hopefully they will shine up!

Re: Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
Not much going on, lots of little things, just ordered my EFI wireharness so thats something. As soon as I get my gauges back from the resto guy i will be ready to put the dash and steering wheel back in.. which will allow me to put the steering shaft, brakes and most of the wiring in and continue the build. I guess i could get started polishing some wheels ;) Oh got the firewall and under cowl area covering in...

Re: Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
Got the grill back from the painter, started installing the FORD badge letters which i cleaned then painted with red enamel hobby paint.. polished them up a little, they dont look too bad for being 36 years old. Thats Argent Silver in the center of the grill by the way. Also decided that I didn't like the location where the stock exploder intake was and rather then fiddling around with trying to make some weird connections I picked up a 3" aluminum tube with silicon joiners. I got a reducer for the MAF side to go from the 3.25" MAF connection down to 3". Now i just need the cone filter and the MAF conversion plate.. seen it on ebay but just have to get around to picking it up. I will be cutting the tubing down to put the intake exactly where i want it on the wheel fender. I want to keep the stock overflow bottle and washer so this should work out well. Picked up two of the slots I had fixed and realigned, they decided to do a quick polish one to see how it would look.. so 3 more to go! guess i know what I will be doing this weekend ;) and got my spare wheel blasted and powder coated Argent silver to keep some of the originality with the truck...

Re: Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
Wow, that wheel polished up nice! Sorry to hear that one of them was out of round...I never ran them and had no idea. You still gonna put the bfg's on them or did you decide to go bigger? Oh, it was nice meeting you by the way.

Re: Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
Got a bit more done this weekend.. lots of little stuff mainly.. Ran half of the charging system wires and started to run the headlight wiring.. Also got the intake cut and mounted.. just need to get the MAF adapter and cone filter, also need to cut a hole for the ACT sensor - forgot to do that.. I will need to fab up a little mount for the end of the air intake as I think it wont be happy in there and eventually start moving.. but right now its pretty solid. Cut the top of the PS bracket and ran the upper radiator hose through it along with the high Pressure PS hose. I will be sleeving the radiator hose sooner or later.. just in case. Also installed the plug wire holders.. had to drill them out a bit to get the bolts to fit right. there are a few spots where they are a little close to stuff.. but I will sleeve some of the wired in case they rub.. stuff is already getting tight! Installed the steering column, shift lever and the supports. I should be able to get the dash in with it installed, i really wanted to move along with the engine bay stuff. Also got the heater in place.. gives me a good look at where i can mount the computer... I haven't installed all the ground wires yet, but did install a ground strap from the back of one of the heads to the firewall. I scuffed the firewall across the washer to try and get a good ground connection. Next I will runa ground wire directly to the engine from the battery then the frame and then frame to engine bay body. Next up is to get the aluminum shroud extension made, hook up the transmission lines and figure out why my steering shaft isn't fitting onto the splines..

Re: Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
Chris, I have your windshield cut and resting safe and sound in my garage. Been rather busy (I am sure you understand). I will look at the schedule and let you know what afternoon this week I can come over and install it.

Re: Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
Is that just the efi harness or a full kit. I've been really eyeing those.

Re: Landsharks 76er Refresh and Build
Drug the "tub-o-wires" out of the basement last night. Started rooting through for your brake light and decided to just let you do your own digging - like a treasure hunt of sorts.
I plan to be at your place around 6pm or so, with the windshield and the previously mentioned "tub-o-wires". If that still works for you.
