Yes it does have trailer lights. Got a ford part number for it but they said it was nla. Will get pic of it tomorrow when I go to my parents. Its just a small relay with 4 wires going into the top. If I can get rid of it I will. Just trying to figure out what it is cuz my fridges just have the 2 wir...

Hey guys, my sisters 66 has this silly 4 wire relay under the master cylinder on the inner fender that went bad and now the brake lights dont work. I cant find anyone who carries them new, do any of you guys have one from a parts truck or know how to bypass it so I dont need it. Thanks

Katies trying to convince me into a 63 bbw uni but its kinda rough. Id have to get rid of a truck to get it or the township will be after me for the junkyard in my backyard lol

Well I cant seem to buy a slick, but I picked up a family herloom from Katies grandpa. He was going to scrap out his 70 f-250 4x4 and plow so I had to buy it. They owned it since the early 80s. I will post pick if I can figure it out. Got some shiny parts for the y block for christmas too

Guys i need some help just cleaned out carb and put edelbrock fuel filter right infront of carb. I also put fuel filter down under cab where rubber line is by frame. I run truck for about 10-15 min on road and it stalls, carb has no gas in it when it dies. I then wait about 5 minutes or so and it wi...

finally got all the bugs ironed out of the y block, ended up having to get a 61-64 reman distributor because mine was to old to work with a modified motor. Solved all the rough running issues, Girlfriend Katie took video of it for me while my dad and I were running it last night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbypuvydEGw

Dennis carpenter has the origional wires and the brackets and rubbers, just got a set of the clamps and rubbers for my 292, Went and got accel 8mm pro comp wires from car quest was cheaper than getting the precut oem wires, spray some silicone spray on wire and in boot and it slides right on the wir...

Good news is it ran on test bench for a few minutes. Bad news broke a few of the old rockers. Waiting on my new 1.54 stock rockers and new shafts to hopefully fix the last of the bugs. Shakes real good at idle, was well worth all the work. Hope to get some pix or a video of it running.

Been workin on the Y Block all winter and is finally almost back together, Got to finish painting the block and set valve lash next week and I should be ready to hear it roar back to life again. Bored it out .060, got block decked line honed and cleaned up. Moly rings, new pistons and bearings. Isky...

as of right now its .060 over. unsure if it origionally was a 272 or 292 now but gunna go to at least a 312 std bore and get a isky cam and put big valve heads in it. Im still debating throwing msd in it, all depends on budget this winter but should be a really strong runner once i get done.

Pulled motor today and found out where my loss of compression was in the 292. Am very glad it stayed together during slickstock as my bad piston came out in pieces Took a pic for you guys to see how bad I killed it. Next slickstock she will be bigger and badder and might even be able to drive it the...

Nice work Lance, never thought a fridge hubcap would work for heaterbox but that is pretty cool. very interesting idea and something custom nobody is got.
