cut out the rear wheel arches to make room for some enormous tires. Should have kept the metal... didn't. Now want to put metal back in. Having a hard time finding a bed wheel arch patch panel. How close do we think this is?

Uhhhh, turned out the voltage regulator came completely unplugged...

Not sure what happened withe pics. Added them to my album, now my album says its empty

Been working on the truck for a year now. Have it going down the road as a fairly good driver, but I'm not sure its charging. New battery, new alternator, voltage regulator, starter solenoid... Battery appears to drain as I use it over a couple days unless I stick on the charger in the garage. Can s...

sent you a PM

id watch the rear end gearing. mine has 5.87 and its been a bit of a problem. swapping out gears isnt all that ideal and only gets you so far because you need a new carrier

if you're giving, i might be taking as backup... In delmar, been assembling a 65 F350, current NP435 is working, but you never know,

I assume there was a stock spline count that was standard.

I guess both. Looking at junkyard center sections to swap in and need to know what I need. Axles I have to stay stock because of wheels.

I have a 1965 F350 with a Dana 70 with 5.89 gears. Does anyone know what the spline count is. Thanks

progress update... Bought bed, mounted cab & bed, painted matte black & maroon. centerline of axle was five feet from the cab compared to 4' on a 100/250. Extended wheel well & cut wheel opening larger, matched lines from front fender. I used a 2x4 on each frame rail to raise the bed the...

anyone know where I can track one down? I've looked in a bunch of catalogs, but don't see any...

It was blocked by the parking brake assembly, almost impossible to see, found it feeling around. Thanks.

Putting the truck back together, but haven't been in the garage in about a month and things are getting a little fuzzy where I didn't take pics. I keep hunting to figure out where to plug the speedo cable in can for the life of me can't find it. Inline 6 w/ a NP 435. A little help would greatly be a...

do you have the handbrake boot from a 350 in good shape?

A little destructive testing

6" PVC pressure ratings drop to 180 psi. Very easy to imagine running a commercial compressor to, above or near this level. My residential one will run to 150 no problem. And no there no significant difference between water pressure or air pressure in the line. A 6" system would of had ver...

put a piece of hose between the compressor and the pvc. pvc is sensitive to heat and will melt down. 1" sch 40 is rated at 450 psi. 1" sch 80 is rated at 630 psi. I would also watch what pvc valves used if any. there is also some blue pvc w/ screw on fittings special made for compressed air.

Get a bigger steering wheel. Better leverage.

Good info, any idea if it is the original 240 or if it is a replacement engine - possibly a replacement 300? Also curious if it was a rebuild if there is a way to determining how many miles were on the vehicle when it was done. The vehicle has 85,000 miles currently. Thanks for your help.

I couldn't get any takers for it locally & the bed itself was in pretty bad shape, had the original bed boards all rotted out, diamond plate on top of that with a bunch of rust holes and other holes cut in it and then a layer of 2x8 that were screwed through the whole mess. Wasn't the look I was...
