    1986 Ford F150 Engine Detail

    I've been wanting to clean up the engine bay of the '86 since I first got it back in June. However, with six months at the State Patrol academy and then the winter weather, I haven't been able to do it. The weather was great this weekend so I jumped at the chance to tackle it. My father-in-law gave me this truck last year. He was the original owner and I can say with 99% certainty that the engine bay had never been detailed in its 23 years of existance.

    I used degreaser (purple bottle stuff at Wal-Mart), various brushes, and a lot of passion. I cleaned, scrubbed, and wiped anything I could get my hands on. These older vehicles are so different than the new cars; at one point I was sitting in the engine bay in order to get to the hoses and components at the rear of the engine! Well, after 2.5 hours of cleaning and a final mist of M40, here's the results.
