275mm is just about the perfect fit before its too tight and you gotta get out the sawzall. I love how 275/60/15 BFGs look in the back of my truck. I am also looking at the 275/60/15 BFG TA Radials for the rear on Crager S/S 15X8 rims with 4" backspacing. I don't think there is any chance they...

Just my 2 cents worth, but I always like to paint my engines flat black in order to help get heat out of the engine, and exhaust manifolds silver to keep heat in until it goes out the other end. The stock colours look like they will do that. However you decide, post some pics so we can see it when ...

Engine Color?

I have a Corinthien White 1962 Flare Side. My existing 223 Motor is all Ford blue. Not sure if it's the original motor and/or original color. Does anyone know what the factory engine color was for a 223CID in a '62 F100? Should it be all one color or perhaps the valve cover a different color? I want...

Thanks for the replies!

William, I live near Orlando. Wish I had the collection of trucks you have!

Rich, I'll be sure to check out JobLot Automotive.

All, I'd greatly appreciate any other good sources for gaskets.

Tranny gasket set for '62 with T86E-1N with Over Drive

Hoping someone can point me in the direction of a source for a gasket set for my transmission. I found the input and output shaft seals at rockauto.com, but the tranny gasket set says T86G or T86H. Is this still the right gasket set for my T86E-1N tranny? From Rock Auto: FEL-PRO Part # TS51352 Manua...
