Ok folks I searched the forum here. Been dealing with wiring gremlins, maily turn signals and brake lights. I replaced the flasher .... no go.. I can " make em work" by flipping the arm. I jumped the wires from the brake light switch and got juice so I bought a new switch yesterday, but di...

Thanks back to square 1. I would kind of miss shifting anyway !! it's a flat top bellhousing

Gerald is right. The FE series motors he refers to all have the intake manifold as a part of the cylinder head. The bell housing bolt pattern is round on the top and the bell housing is cast directly into the transmission housing and is not removable. The most simple answer for the 429/46 "385...

Comet thats Bitchin!!

Ok I am getting a Big Block Ford bolt pattern C6 trans. Aside for the torque converter and shifter what am I missing? This will bolt up correct? I remember here the trans mount needs to move a little. Sorry if this has been covered, I did search here. Will I benefit from this versus the 3 speed in h...

I dig my Moon column mount tach. It was relatively cheap and looks cool

No it wont I got my 66 here for a grand. Got a old retired car hauler here in Michigan that still gets out on the raod and he has a 64 f100 to boot.

RCB you need to come out to the Show in June. Lots of Slicks last year, some fridges, some old f1's, and some Merc trucks from Canada eh'. It's a great show, if you liked the Basement, you will love Sins of Steel

Chad the original owner let me know it a 61 Merc grill. He loved that truck and I hope he gets another one some day!!

Hey thats my white 66. Thanks for taking the pics. I love that damn truck so much I parked my 54 Ford Semi-Kustom and drive the truck all the time. Its original paint, headliner,352, 3 spd. It's got dropped beams, flipped rear axle, 56 Buick caps. That UNI is by Club Brother Marks truck. It belonged...

Mines the white 66 in the Poor Boys display downstairs, 100% original except for dropped beams, flipped axle, red and white pleated seat, Kustom 56 Buick Hubcaps. Got lots of plans for it, now just need the motivation to follow through. She's tons of fun the way she sits.

Thanks for the replys everybody. I agree I dont think the motor is hurt, but it does make me think it's time for a rebuild

Being I still have good oil pressure, and didnt see any metal shavings on the plug or in the filter do you think I hurt it ? I ran it for about 2-3 minutes trying to pinpoint the squeek. Man I will be sick, this thing ran so nice and never missed a beat. I thought I was doing the right thing putting...

Well the PO drove the truck as a daily and always ran straight 50 in it, but being in Sacramento you can get away with that a little easier than here in Detroit ( its my summer cruiser , but planned to drive it to Autorama this wekend ). So I decided I would throw some Valvoline 20w50 in her along w...

I want to order up some chrome "oe" style wheel vintuque wheels. I am thinking 15 x 7 right? what about back spacing? I would like to go 8 and have some more wheel hanging towards the bed. Anybody got any insight here. Thanks

Turtle you have exaxctly what I want. I need just the frame work. Looked on my local CL and found nothing I am going to have a Kustom cover made with tuck and roll down the center. I also dont want it to look like a "new style" cover, and turtles fits the bill. Thanks to all of you for you...

Thanks in advance for any help fellas. I got a long bed styleside that I am planning to do in a 60's mild Kustom style. Its dropped now, 2 inch ww, still original paint, for now. I have a red and white tuck and roll seaty and want to do a cover for it, but dont want to put snaps on my bed. Has anybo...

Guys I searched and cant find the thread. Seems to me somone found a source on ebay that had the push through bullet cones in the correct diameter for stock steel wide 5 wheels. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

go to a auto paint Jobber and ask for a 3M Roloc clean and strip disc. It will be purple in color. The great thing about the roloc attachement is you can use it on edge or flat. Does a great job of getting rid of paint as does grade 80 da paper on a DA

Thanks for the pics, one problem..... We need more
