Banjopicker,

Thanks for that info. It looks like I should start combing the junkyards for those items. The guy I spoke to withthe C-6 only had the trans and maybe the flex plate.

So I guess I have a wide range of years to choose from provided that the bell housing mounts up correctly.

Skip, I think I will be able to identify the bell housing based on your description. Thanks Can anyone confirm whether the flex plate from the 390 will work. I believe that both engines are internally balenced Anybody out there with a linkage assembly (I still have the column and shifter) they want ...

Well I found a c6 out of an f250 and had been mated to a 390, the guy wants $100, he claims it worked well. He might have the flex plate as well. Will the one from the 390 work in the 352? Oh yeah and then there is the linkage. I need to find out what years I can use the linkage from. The automatic ...

Skip and JC thanks for the reply. I think the engine the FMX came from was a 351C. Skip does changing the bearing mean pulling the crank? I don't think I want to go there just yet. It runs fine and the rear seals apear to be ok. So if I look for a C6 it should come from a 390 or 360? ME

My clutch is fading fast and I am thinking I might like to have an automatic tranny like it came with origionally. Any thoughts on replacing the fourspeed? I want it to be relatively painless. The auto shift lever is still on the column. linkage is probably gone. Currently there is a 4 speed topload...

Count me in for all three sections as well. My bed floor is in pretty rough shape.

Yeah its a winch. This was a farm truck so it was probably dragging machinery out of fields. Its welded onto the bumper which kind of ruined it, but it might come in handy to drag the snow blower out the basement hatchway.

Hey everyone, thanks for the warm welcome, and the compliments on the truck. I do feel fortunate to have found her in the shape she is in, as I am better with the mechanical end of things than body work. I do mean to change that though, and this baby looks like a good platform on which to build thos...

I just want to take a second to introduce myself to the group. I have always had some sort of old vehicle as transportation till my daughter was born last year and my wife insisted (wisely) that we get something late model with air bags, abs, etc. Ever since I felt as though a pice of me was missing...

Crap. I already filled her up. I will have to reset it next time I change the oil.

Thanks for the reply Skip.

Six is what I thought the manual impied. It said capacity five, but there was an asteisk with a footnote that said one quart more with filter change.

I would certainly take you up on the dipstick if you have an extra.

Glad to find this forum it looks like it will be a great resource.

I recently acquired a 66 f100 with a 352. Is the oil capacity 5 or 6 quarts? It did not have a dipstick and I am trying to calibrate the universal replacament I bought till I can find a used one.

Thanks in advance.

Another one here from the NE. I am in western MA. I just got a 66 f100 styleside to make trips to the lumber yard. Now that I have checked out the forum, I'm getting inspired to shine her up a bit.
