Changed the oil this past weekend, 6000 miles on the high mileage Valvoline synthetic and it was only down about a half quart. Not a bad "burn" rate at all.
Moved the recliner handle from the existing seat (had obviously already been replaced once) to the spare seat and installed that in the truck. I think I'm going to try to mimic the stock seat recliner handle in CAD and see if I can get something made by SendCutSend. This is such a common failure point on all the Ford trucks of that era with bucket seats that there has to be a market for a replacement handle.
Redid some of the wiring to be more in lines with my tastes.
Next week the red truck gets a new master cylinder and then finally plan to get the torque converter installed.
