Re: Valve cover racing

I am sure I can scare up an old valve cover.
What are the rules?
Can it be any valve cover?

Riding height

The 64 M100 has been on the road for a couple of years since the restoration and the right front corner is sitting a little lower. I am planning to go to the spring shop and have the spring re-arched. What should be the riding height be and where do you measure it from??

Okay We're In

The wife and I looked at the pictures last night. Everyone appears to be having a good time. I guess it's time to load up the truck and take it on holidays for a week. Time to look back into the forum for the reservation information.

Thank, this confirms what I suspected. After closer measurement I will have about 1/2" clearance between the tires and the fender well as the tire are a little over sized.

Thanks guys I will have a closer look at fitting the 91 rear end. At first glance it looks as if I only have about 3/4" clearance between the wheels and the fender. I'll also take the locking diff. from the 97 Explore and fit it into the 91 F150 housing.

How is the clearance between the wheel wells and the tires. My 91 F150 is four inches longer than the 64 axle assembly. Is your truck the flare side in the picture, I have a styleside.

The rear end that is in the truck is a Dana 40 or 44 ?
Most of the wreckers in my neighborhood crush anything over 15 years old.
I agree, I am not enthused but using wheel adapters.
Any suggestions as to what rear axle assemblies will fit.

Differential Swap

Has any one tryed fitting a 97 Ford Explore differential into a 60 to 64 F100? The reason for asking is my 64 F100 with it's 91 302V and auto tranny are giving poor gas milage, with the original 4:10 posi rear end. The 91 truck had a set of 3:55 in it, but the axle assembly is too wide to fit into t...

Steering box

The boxes that will work are 1979 -1984 Toyota 4X4 pick up.
I am using the power steering pump that was on the 91 F150 engine, the problem with that is the Ford pump produces 1500 psi the Toyota box is only rated for 1000 psi, so I had to reduce the pressure to the pump.

Toyota Power steering Conversion

I have just finished rebuilding a 1964 M100 (the Mercury version of the F100) with several upgrades: fuel injected V8, four speed automatic transmission (with a column shift), disc brakes and a Toyota power steering box. Like many of you I read the articles about the Toyota power steering conversion...

I have looked into these conversion brackets, they require modifications to fit the 60's frame. Putting me back at square one.
Thanks for the thought.
