How to: Modern Steering & Electrical Tips - ‘73 Ford Ranger - F100: Ep. 7

On this episode of our 1973 F100 Coyote Swap build, we're piecing together the rest of our truck exterior to roll it out of the S2S clean room. We're modifying a Mini Cooper power steering pump to work with our Ididit steering rack system and bolting in our Heidts sway bar to make sure we don't have washed out steering when taking corners in this supercharged street truck.Tim is plasma cutting a custom bracket to hold the two piece drive shaft that's going to turn those back wheels. Not to mention, we're also hooking up our engine harness to the 5.0L Coyote power plant and mounting our Braille battery to the frame to make sure this truck cranks over without any issues.

[lancemiller]

Hech yeah you guys are killing it love this truck build

[apoco_lips]

Very cool to see you use the mini cooper pump to solve the power steering issue. Also the valve covers are such a nice upgrade

[enriquedeleonjr]

Oohhhh! Booooy! You guys are Awesome! Love the Build and Love how meticulous your are with every single little detail. By far the best I have ever seen. Freaking awesome!

[mr.anderson]

this is like bob ross stuff ... i don't even know how to change oil but i feel like i can build a car now lol keep up mad respect guys !!!

[pjludda]

Awww...The blue tape on the covers almost made me think you were going with the old-school baby blue paint scheme (or baby blue surrounding polished steel would would've looked epic)...

What about water? Battery/electrical is closer to the ground.

I'd like to suggest to build an aluminum radiator mount, those old steel ones alway rust out on the bottom, plus less weight and looks cool.

[mrkobewolf]

It may look hard but all you do is just assemble, plan it, screw it in, cut it and have patience

[JMRRebuilders]

I've been looking for a nice clamp for brake lines and noticed you had a block.. do you remember the brand? @ 1:26 in the video. Thanks!!

[ALWhiteAuthor]

Need to anodize those valve covers the same color as the supercharger. It's just off with them being polished aluminum like that.

[SoftiesTruck]

Why mount ECU in wheel well? Won’t that be an issue with rain ?

[supervette]

Nice work, love the truck. How much does a build like that cost?

[Robrt]

Throw them tires and rims in the nearest lake and put something 15 inch deep dished chrome or aluminum and you’ll have a hell of nice truck.

[Helloverlord]

Powerful engine and no power assist brakes?

[dgrandioso]

Your using a manual brake setup? Haven’t decided on hydroboost or manual setup. Thoughts?

at precisely 9.02 that carrier bearing held with one bolt on each side could have been biffed-up with a small welded steel plate on top to use the two other bolts on each side..
