Now to the rear suspension, I just installed a 89 Mark VII independent rear suspension, turning out v...

I need help, I put a Crown Vic front end and the 4.6l in my 66 f100. Does anyone know who makes long tube headers that will work on my truck? Any help will be appreciated..

Look's like you are off to a great start! Where did you find a Uni in that good shape? I like your choice of colors, it ought to have a very nostalgic feel and look. I'm from Sioux City where are you located? Keep up the good work I'll keep reading about your build. Later

Thanks guys I'm trying to keep the floor as clean as possible with new pans and mounts and replacing the hump with a clean one from a donor cab. I learned a valuable lesson by reading the hints and tricks forum and put my cab on it's back. Been spending way to much time on the passenger floor with t...

Awesome that was a great buy! Now the fun part installing it. good luck

c-6 trans in my 66 3speed f-100 will the center hump clear the trans? Just getting ready to install a replacement hump- the old one was destroyed by a previous owner.

First thing I would do is pull the fuel line at the carb and then have someone crank it over. If you've got fuel then it's the carb if not then go on to the filter or the pump. Before I would change the pump I would pull the fuel line and make sure that the line is not plugged. Just my thoughts.. Go...

Welcome from the Midwest!!! Enjoy this site alot of great people with alot
of great idea's!! Later Randy!!

Welcome!!! Your truck is very nice---and your are correct about the cost of rebuilding your own, it adds up quickly. Just an observation if you are not a writer you should be- you are entertaining and I completely enjoyed your experience--Thank You and Welcome again from the Heartland!!! Randy

Mark-- Your truck is awesome!!!! I just started to tear down my 66 sw and you have really put the fire back into my project.... I'll post some pictures as soon as possible!!!! Randy

Welcome from the heartland!! Nice truck you'll get alot of thumbs up while you're in traffic. Again WELCOME Later Randy!!!

If the rest of your work is as good as what I can see it is going to be nice! Keep up the good work, can't wait to see it when it's painted! Later Randy

Roc, Welcome from Sioux City Iowa, your slick looks great!! I have a 66 short box red and white in color, 6 cylinder 4 speed, mine came from Arkansas so there is very little rust. Again if you can come to the heartland for SLICKSTOCK. Wonderful truck!!! Later Randy

Hey Thug, I don't know if you read Classic or Custom Classic Truck mags but there has been some very nice lwb slicks in their print. You might give it some more thought if the truck is as nice as you say! Just a thought. Randy...

Hey DCARR, man I would never buy anything from that NAPA store again unless I shopped around! Here in Sioux City Iowa I could go anywhere in town and buy wheel cylinders for $10-15 bucks, they must have been trying to sell you nos parts. Just thought that I would add my 2 cents worth. Later Randy

Welcome always nice to see someone new to the site. I sure would trade my weather for your's- we've got -19 below wind chill 50+ mph winds with at least 2 new inches of snow! Awe what the heck only 3-4 more months of winter left. Again Welcome Randy

Matt, awesome choice your truck looks great! And I agree paint your wheels to match your truck you'l be glad you did. Again what a great look!! Later Randy
