Has anybody had the dip tube replaced on the fuel tank that fits behind the seat. Mine is clogged and maybe damaged. The tank I have is from a newer truck.

Has anybody converted the cab corner lights on the roof of the truck to turn signals. Not the clearance lights (the three in the middle) but the ones one the left and right of the cab roof.

I finally figured out what the extra bulb is for. It is for the cigar lighter. Apperently on custom cab models there is a lighted cigar lighter.

Thanks for the input guys. Does anybody no where i can get a wiring schematic for these old trucks?
Thanks

I am trying to fix the gages/lights on my 66 custom cab. I have a couple of custom cabs so i have correct wiring available to me. My question is there is a light that is dangling behind the instrument cluster, it comes on with the headlight switch, it has a single wire gong to it (blue w/red stripe)...

I have a 1966 f-100 4x4 shortbed. It came with a fleet side bed but now has a stepside bed on it. It came with a 300 6cyl. engine but now has a 390 v-8. The original transmission ( 4spd ) and transfer case ( single spd ) are in it still. What would be a good asking price for this. I have several pro...

Wow, thanks for the info. I would like to explore the ranger,bronco II option. Thanks again for the info.

I need to replace the seat in my 66 f-100 4x4. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions on what to use. I would like to install buckets and a console. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Ion Kendall

Well its been awhile since I posted on this board. I just purchased another slick (that makes 3). My latest one is a 66 F-100 4x4 short bed stepside. It has a Fe engine and a 4 spd. trans with the single speed transfer case. It runs very well but I think I am going to change the tranny/transfer comb...

Thanks for all your posts. It is always good to seek wise counsel. I believe I will stick with the c-6. My truck does have power steering and I have a disc brake front axle for it. I, unfortunately, have to replace the cab on my truck since my now ex-wife rolled it. I do have a question though. On m...

You can also find an axle off of a 72 - 79 f-150 4x4 that has disc brakes on it. Pretty easy swap switching out the axle. IMHO.

I have a 66 1/2 ton 4x4 short bed. It has an fe engine with a c-6 trans. with a np 205 transfer case (married to the trans.) and a d-60 rear/d-44 front. What I am thinking about doing is putting in a np 435 manual trans. and np205 transfer case. I believe it would be an easy swap, but I am not sure ...

O.k. So now I am looking the 1962 f-250 4x4 on e-bay. My question is will a 65/66 cab, bed, fenders (inner and outer), grill etc... bolt on to this chassis?
Thank you

Thanks for all the great info. This is a great site with great people willing to share knowledge and insight.

I am considering buying a 1961 f-250 4x4. What I need to know is what body parts will interchange between 61 and 66. I have a 1976 f-250 4x4 that I can use the drive train out of (390,4 spd. trans,205 transfer case,d-60 rear and d-44 front). I love these series of trucks but I am partial to the look...

I seem to recall someone on this site(or maybe the msn site) that talked about putting a 66 ford truck on a 76 ford truck frame.What I am thinking about doing is using the 76 f-250 4x4 frame under a 66 body.How difficult is this? Thanks, Ion Kendall

I am looking to replace the trans in a 59 f-100.I have heard that the toploader trans. are a good replacement.From what I understand the 6 cyl. that were used in the 61-64 series used these toploader style trans.Will I need to get the shift levers for this trans as well.The truck I am putting this i...
