For whatever reason I cannot get the posting ID to work properly. I'm not a craigslist user (because the Amarillo one SUCKS).

Too bad that's after the era when Ford used to make their own panel bodies. There's a guy wtih a '56 P350 not too far from here I bet he'd let go pretty cheap. Truck needs some rust work done on it, but I bet it could be made running again. It's from back when Ford incorporated pickup grilles into t...

Did I miss the pr0n spammer? I love watching them get the banpersand. One of the forums I moderate has spam that requires my attention on a daily basis.

I'm in Amarillo which you'll inevitably pass through on your journey since I-40 runs right through the middle of the city.

The problem with the Mythbusters experiment was that it was rather rigged. They got a guy from the enforcement camera company to come out and participate in the tests. The camera they used wasn't ANYTHING like the camera that sits in the box (I'm pretty certain there's not a Canon Digital SLR camera...

Nah, Was not scared off. Didn't mean to stir up a hornets nest. My main thought on this was money. The 454 is just sitting around with nothing to put it in. I have always loved old Ford trucks. Truth be told I am a Mopar man with a 67 Coronet 440. I am no fan of Chebby,s. Love Mopar and have many F...

what puzzles me is why the rear would be wider than the front on those crown vics that would cause the factory to use different offset wheels and then you cant rotate them. Ford never did that on the Panthers. If your rear axle is from the same vehicle your front came from (or at least from an '03+...

40k......for that?

What next, people giving me $500 to drop a deuce in a box for them?

That truck would really be something if it had a 5th wheel plate on it and a 3208 CAT up in the front.

sadly they dont rule the drag strips anymore... BUT they are quite common place at the "tractor" pulls... They look more like monster trucks, with 5 or more engines sticking out... I wonder how that guy with the 4 engine, 4wd could even see where he was going!!!! hahha smoke screen coming...

Maybe you should give my dad some encouragement. He's been DREADING doing the Radius bushings and pivot bushings on his '78 F350. However, I told him since he's changing engines anyway he might as well fix all that crap while there's no engine in the truck. He also needs to repair the tilt column, a...

I kinda wish we would get some snow, but maybe in a couple more weeks. Wheat loves the snow. 2 winters ago we got a ton of snow out on the farm and had the best wheat crop in years. Last winter next to no snow and the wheat was a total loss.

Most vehicle conversions run compressed natural gas. Not Liquified natural gas. Though Liquid Natural gas is catching on. Refueling units for CNG are about $4000. I inquired about getting one when I saw how cheap CNG crown vics go for at auction. However, it would take alot of driving to recoup the ...

I think Hawk hit the nail on the head. Crown Victorias with the police package have a longer tail housing and shorter aluminium driveshaft (for '99 a Metal Matrix driveshaft) than the Civvy cars get. Most shortbed trucks don't have very long driveshafts (Broncos are extremely short). However, if the...

Trucks used the same wheel bolt pattern until 1999 when the Super Duty was introduced. They were metric after that. Not sure why Ford didn't change them, but the new E250/E350 vans still use the old English pattern. Just another avenue to shop. I have firsthand experience that Superduty pickup whee...

Great info, I would probably be asking this question in the future myself same engine too. I wouldn't worry too much about a serpentine belt's lack of redundancy, just keep a spare with you in your vehicle with a breaker bar and appropriate socket to work the tensioner. Guarantee you it won't take a...

I would so love a '64 Ford Galaxie 500XL with a SOHC 427 in it. However, I'd be too afraid to drive it. It'd be fun to blast away from some ricers in that's for sure.

This truck looks too good to be true, so it probably is. I bet that mileage is closer to 133,000. That seller is probably never going to sell that truck on eBay. Looking through my dad's Ford service manuals for FE engines also leads be to beleive there'd be no way to tell weather or not that was re...

Dat ain't no ChXXy

Ditto, the distributor's in the right place.

Quad Shocks I beleive were a stand-alone option and also part of the handling package. Projectbronco.com has PDF scans of the brochures from '78 and '79. My dad's '79 (the Ink-You-Bus) has four shocks plus sway bars.
