When I remove the airpack do I need to cap off the brake lines with something or is a plastic baggie with a rubber band enough? I know I will need to bleed the system anyway but my deuce is in the garage right now and I want to minimize the mess.

Latest pics...getting there! Most of the parts that are not installed are already painted. I'm into my 3rd gallon of paint and haven't touched the bed yet! Little worried about that...

I wouldn't even consider it unless I installed A/C.

I appreciate the cable advice but in this forum I really was trying to learn how to use search correctly. Is there an operator to search ALL terms and not just any? Quotes do not seem to have any effect either.

I'm having the same problem as nf6x: trying to learn about winch cable and I'm getting pages and pages of "winch" threads with no discussion of cable. Searching thread titles in the deuce forum, tried & + AND with no change in results.

Wow, that's an awfully big door star.

Got the winch cable on with the wife's help. She "drove" it (with the winch) down the driveway, the hook end on the hitch of my F-150. I was keeping the cable going in the right direction by hand. Went great!

Progress: new copper line bent, original soft hose in place. Note the metal tag under one of the oil pan bolts. Soft hose will get a clamp / wire to the metal tag to hold it away from the shaft. Best I could come up with. See any problems? Edit next day: got the fuel line in and...it leaks a...

I've got a similar crane I'll be installing later on. Can you show what you did under the bed for additional bracing, if anything? Thanks! Looks great!

PSA: if you leave your fenders off for several months, they will s-t-r-e-t-c-h and be very difficult to get back into place!

OK in the attempt to turn the 45° elbow away from the PTO shaft--UNCLE! I bought a set of crows feet wrenches last night and still not able to budge it. I think whoever put it in last used permatex or JB Weld! So I'm going to have to either make a new hard copper line the whole span, or else...

I looked at mine again; the elbow coming off the IP is pointed right straight at the PTO shaft. I think that is going to have to be turned around towards the frame. In spite of Ken warning me not to mess with it, I think it has to. And really I don't see what the big deal is? Doesn't look like...

Interesting, thanks! Yeah I had the IP off my parted-out truck sitting in a box at my office, and today I discovered the rubber hose segment of the old line still on it. I removed it and the elbow fitting came with it--it was barely more than finger tight. I can't see this being a "pull the IP"...

I talked to Ken and got some good advice over the phone; he said for sure don't mess with the fitting on the bottom of the IP, because if anything goes wrong with it I have to pull the IP. He said the fitting I have on my re-made hose is too large and I need to replace it with a smaller JIC-6...

Trying to help myself here but coming up with more questions than answers. Here is a pic from the winch truck that I parted out over a year ago. The frame is gone now but I think the line I'm after is still there in the front. Looks like maybe a hard-line extension at the end of the hose...

I remember now that the original fuel line was a hard copper line coming off the primary fuel filter and then transitioned to a soft hose as it left the crossmember up to the IP. On a w/w truck what holds that hose away from the PTO shaft?

I had gone through this same issue and had a new fuel line made...but then I added a winch to my truck and found that the PTO-winch shaft is rubbing the new fuel line--bigtime. Now I need to go back to square one and re-do it. I guess maybe a copper tube with flared fittings? I do have a line...
