Does anyone know if Econolines and Ford F100s shared the same 9" rear end?

Btw, I just put the stock lock ring rims on my '66 f250 with 7.50 bias ply tires and love it. Get to use my stock hubcaps. We have a chain of tire stores here in the NW that works on split ring tires.

Well, obviously you don't care but I am think it was pretty important to the OP as he asked and was given incorrect information. The OP obviously wanted to know as he asked so why do you take issue with it being answered properly? A safety rim, a standard rim, split rim and also a multi-piece wheel...

Dang, those are hard to find!

I just saw this show today with the '65 f100 on Netflix. I gotta be honest, I thought the truck looked great before they turned it into a clown mobile. Ruined that beautiful old '65. I like a mild custom that still maintains the integrity and the lines of the original, but I would have been furious ...

Howdy from sunny North Portland Oregon!

300cfm? The Holley is a 600 com, is that overkill for a stock 352?

Anyone know what the stock carb was for the 1966 F250 camper special w/ 352? Mine currently has a 4-barrel Holley carb...

Yeah, I'm thinking she's fine. Gonna run it as is!

Actually, been having oil pressure issues with my f250. Been showing 10psi at start up and 0psi when warm. Replaced the oil sending unit today and lo and behold! Almost 40psi! Sometimes it's the small things(:

Here's the back lash measurement:

I personally would LOVE an OD tranny in my 250, but it's too much money for my budget...

Yup, it sure is(: May just say hell with it and install it. The back lash seems good so why not?

Was planning on starting my rear end swap today, but it's too damn cold!

I assume it means 46 tooth ring and 13 tooth pinion, which is 3.54?

Here's the info on the ring gear:


Here, you can see a bit of the wear pattern:

Did the oil have any indication of metal in it? Clean the gears with some brake cleaner. 1st step is checking backlash. If that is within acceptable tolerances, you'll want to check the pattern before running it.

No metal in the oil. Does anyone have the oem backlash specs?

Bump

Ok, I took the cover off today. Not too much fun as it's about 10 degrees in my garage(: Everything LOOKS ok to inexperienced eye. My question is, how tight should everything be? There is a bit of up and down play in the two small rotating gears and I can rotate the yoke a bit back and forth before ...
