My son and I did something like this once, we had a 61 3/4 ton flat bed, missing the bed and a wrecked 65 F100 long bed. The 65 bed was rusty in the front and the flat bed frame was shorter than the 65. So we cut the front off the 65 bed and graffed it back on and made a 7 1/2' bed that matched the...

I used a box from a 87 Toyota 4x4 and the pump from a 75 Ford truck. My truck is a 66 4x4 F100 and is not the same as the 61-64 2wd trucks, but just wanted to say that you do not need to use the Toyota pump.

I would look behind the fan, is there 4 bolts going into the pulley. Take those out and remove the fan. If you need to seperate the fan and clutch the bolts should be on the back.

On my truck, I pulled the rheostat out of the switch, cleaned it with some very fine sand paper and reinstalled it. Also cleaned the contact point that rides on the rheostat. Worked out good.

And for real power there was the 3.0, 220HP, SHO Yamaha powered Taraus, it will bolt to a regular 3.0 trans. If thats the same Yamahammer engine Ford used in the Probe, they are easy to find, The junkyards are jam-packed FULL of those. Which does not really bode well as a statement of reliability. ...
