My dealings with this issue

I was actually considering this conversion, but the yahoos at TCI could not tell me HOW to convert to where it attaches to the 1965 F100 driveshaft, from my understanding this trans mounts as they do to the new mustangs which is much different than our trucks, not just a yoke change. The yahoos coul...

Pow/Rack&Pinion in1965 F100

Anybody ever done this??
I have a 65 F100 with the newer disc brake spindles and want to add a Power Rack & Pinion steering.
I seen many conversions for Chevy trucks, and even Mustangs.
Is such feasible with the I beams?
ANY help appreciated, photos/sources of KNOWN kits!

THANKS

I was thinking it might be that, I'll take coil as you suggest tomorrow, and didn't think about the condesser. Still puzzled why the coathanger won't go further down the tank.
thanks

The V8 (302) bell and trans is to go BEHIND the 6 cylinder, I don't think it is a 300, so is the 300 and 1965 6 flex the same?

My decision

I've recorded each, still thinking on it, may smear JB weld on the pipe flanges for now, haven't driven enough to determine if engine is worth more work. GREAT IDEAS guys, thanks

65 6 cylinder 3 speed BELL vs 78 Auto bell

I have a 65 3 speed on column, will a 1978 automatic bell with auto trans bolt up? Will the 78 Auto V8 converter also work? What do I have to change? Only the flex plate for the 6 cylinder?
Need facts, really don't have time or money for guessing : ) thank you

Can you be more specific on the mods?

Maybe with close up before and after photos? Any brackets used from donor other than the ones mounted to frame?

Modifying early core support to be in 1965

Thanks for this re-post, I wonder if the fellow would be willing to modify others for us NON welders etc? I would think with DETAILED close photos and patterns to go by someone could take the repos now current and update them and sell them : )

Installing Fatman IFS in 68 F100

Excellent article in Aug 2011 Custom Classic trucks Mag, this install has Rack & Pinion also. I've been told the 65 F100 frame etc is the same or similar, so would this kit fit the 65?

Before I get into a LONG job that's NOT worth it I need suggestions. I snapped the OUTSIDE stud off even with the exhaust manifold, my questions. a) Can this stud be removed / drilled out from the bottom, with starter removed for more clearance? b) On this 6 cylinder, can the exhaust manifold be rem...

FRONT HOOD TILT MOUNTS

I like those front tilt mounts, where did you get them and how much did it set you back? Are they working well and how is stability of hood going down the road? How does it mount at windshield end?
