Gary is right, the side trim on a four door doesn't even go on the front door.

I do like that toolbox wish there were more pics.

Here's a pic of the 4x4 project. My present investment in this project is under $700. The extreme rake is because it has 35" tall tires in back and 28's in front AND the front springs are temporary Mustang rear springs since the stockers went to my Bronco buddy and I am putting in some 2" ...

Gerald, if you would, and don't need them yourself, check on the wheels (if a dually), please. Thanks, Paul Paul: Sure will. No personal need at this time. Since you have a need, I'll make it a point to go look Monday or Tuesday, maybe before it's too late. If you go Grits take a good look at the f...

Welcome back Brien, wondered why you haven't been posting. Didn't realize you were having computer problems. Almost have the "new" shop demo finished and cleared out. A little electrical to do and then ready to move from Slick Shop in West Monroe. Yea wish I had a gas sipper that got thir...

Hey everybody been a while since I have been on here. Been working on other car projects (Still Fords of course!) and having a computer issue. I am working on my 66 longbed again and will try to be on here a bit more. And of course Pate is coming up!

If it's a Thunderbird setup the carb mounts will be parallel to the manifold, the regular Galaxy style ones they mounts are angled and the back carb is higher than the front.

On the Thunderbird's with the factory 140 amp 3G alternator they used a 175 amp fuse. I have used that size fuse and a Buss Mega fuse holder on a couple of 5.0 Mustangs.

That storm went right around me Gerald, mild rain and some wind. I see you got much worse than me, glad you and the family came out a OK.

Grits and Bluebolt on the road for Pate! Should get there around noon.

I'm ready to go!

you ever try and launch a 500hp pickup? i guess if you are real good you could do it, all i've ever seen in person just go up in smoke at the line. the t56 isn't recommended for any towing. the lightning still has 850 lb bed rating and can tow 5000lbs. they are cool trucks though and i am not tryin...

all the triton v8 and v10 motors up to 04 spit the spark plug out of the head and took the threads with them, the 04-08s had the spark plugs break inside the head when trying to remove them. Try a google search and you will have weeks of reading ahead. If you buy a truck froma dealer tell them to c...

Nice truck to save. Rear leaves should have 5 leaves & 1 helper. Maybe you can save the engine & rebuild.I have the cruiseomatic transmission too. Works good. Have fun rebuilding. tony It's too rough to save, cheaper to find a better cab and bed. Saving parts for my 66 f100 and sell a few o...

It's going to the scrapper tomorrow, throwing all my metal scrap in bed. What do you need for a patch panel?

Well after looking this truck over it had a lot more rust than I thought so it's going to get parted out and scrapped real soon. The core support was rusty as heck once I started taking it off and the cab floor was shot and everything lower down. It did have a nice battery tray that just needs blast...

GT40P's usually clear stock iron exhaust manifolds no problem. They even clear 64-67 HiPo manifolds. Easy for me to find down here have two sets already.

The M5R2 was also used up through at least 2008 with the 4.2 V6, same bellhousing pattern as SBF/300 six..

That is an unusual one for sure, is it a straight front axle?
