Re: Stock 1965 F-250 Dana 60 Torque & HP Limits?

I have not gotten to pull out one of the axles yet. Did years ago seems it was a 10 or just slightly more of a count. If I remember right the end wasn't bulged on the machined end. Also the hub shape looks similar F1 I saw once. Could be a hold over from the flathead days. I am going to see if I can...

Stock 1965 F-250 Dana 60 Torque & HP Limits?

My Dana 60 came with the acorn spacers behind the axle shaft nuts. It isn't nor will be a hot rod however the end goal for the 430/462 MEL is over 500 lbs of torque @ 2300rpm with HP 350 - 400. 14,000 lbs will likely be the bulk of the heaviest weigh I tow. What are your experiences with our stock 6...

Thanks for sharing your methods. I feel more confident about seemingly simple cab mount and floor panel replacement.

Cutting Back The Clutter

In 2015 the 65 F-100 was mostly apart and ready to start cleaning up for paint. Things happened and it got tacked back together to roll around. I'm kicking the idea around to simplify. Make the F-100 road worthy, sell the 65 F-250, tractor and trailer. That would go a long way to cleaning up the sho...

Re: 3 speed Manual Trans Shifter Rods

I have a good set from a 66 F-250 from 76710 just for shipping. The cab and colum are different from your 62. Will they work?

Re: 1965 F-250 Rear Springs

Thanks, I had a set made at Alcan in Colorado. Thanks for the link, it is good to have other options. Last week I received the springs. They tried something else other than stock like I asked for. Just a hint here, I took video, pictures and typed out the measurements. All this confirmed my case an...

1965 F-250 Rear Springs

Mine have 11 leaves on the primary and 4 on the overloads. Looking for a very good used pair or NOS. I am also getting estimates on having them made. Will consider a light spring pack with air bags. What do you have?
Thanks,

Re: BlackTruck Build 65

A huge thanks on the headliner idea. I've been working with hardwood floors in the house and I think if sealed correctly would make a durable bed floor. Only issue with your wood etching is it can be spotted from the air. Likely not the attention you would want if you decide to cut loose one day.

Sorry for late response. I have not used any of their products but did talk to them about another project. Seem like actual car people.

Re: my shipwrecked '63

Can't say on the engine. It is an AMC 360 and I've never opened one up other than valve cover and intake gaskets. I remember the ones I worked on used Ford ignition and much if not all of the steering column components were GM. They used Chryslers 727 transmission.

Re: my shipwrecked '63

Never owned a Jeep. My experience as a mechanic the older Cherokees are pretty sturdy compared to the latter 90's models. A customer had an 82 and 84 Cherokee both had 360s. He said milage was 12-13 with out a trailer. Either of them pulled a camper well. In case you hear negative things about the J...
