rotor pros?

I have a set on my lightning for the past 10 years, about 50k on them and they have held up great. I know some guys have had problems with them.

Thanks everyone!! I am in my "hoarding stage" of my life. I was buying and selling cars on a yearly revolve, but as I see the market pushing vehicles like this up I might as well keep it.

And this maybe a boring build to some. Its not going to be anything wild or fast. It's getting mostly stock/oem replacement parts to get it back on the road. I will replace worn items with aftermarket where it makes sense. As of now I am staying away from anything performance related.

I figured once mobile I could always throw the basic upgrades on it. lol

I would love small-ish project like this.

It wouldnt be to bad if I had another garage spot for it. Working outside stinks sometimes and I need to hurry before it gets any colder. ha.

Didn't have any time over the winter to work on the truck... Slowly getting back to it with help of a buddy and his shop. Quick update...

Engine out. Bad cylinder wall and piston from spark plug hole debris. The crank and everything else looks really good actually, but since machining was needed it came out.

Ordered CP pistons, Manley rods, ARP fasteners/Studs, Ford Racing Oil Pump, and new pick up tube. Here are a few pictures of the carnage and the new parts...
