If you'll post your VIN, NumberDummy will be along shortly to translate it for you.

That's too cool!

Bet it has one of those Chxxxxy engines.

i wasnt trying o be mean its just that i did some of the same things your talking about doing and i had to go back and redo the whole job, i painted it then rebuilt the brakes then the enigne and then had to repaint again becouse it wasnt as good as the rest of the truck,, just trying to let you kn...

Thanks for the additional info guys. I'm not sure when I will make the swap. That's an additional expense I hadn't anticipated. I may go ahead with the disc brakes and the power rack and pinion (putting the PS Pump on the 223) then make the engine swap and last the AC. Maybe I'll luck out and score ...

I would say the "extras" are worth it, you have a nice truck. BTW JC is right with the 302 choice. Roller cam is the way to go, lot more torque than a flat tappet 5.0 & the same fuel mileage. He's close on the roller cam engine years, 85 (but only 5 speed Stangs) thru 94. Any 86-94 5....

I've only seen them used on the TV shows, with a nice smooth floor. They seem to roll smoothly. Probably wouldn't work quite as well on a driveway as a garage.

It's my understanding that many of the vendors get their parts from a single mfg source...such as Dick Carpenter (as an example).
Volume is the only way you can make a profit on most of these items.

btw why are you painting the interior before all the rest ? a. Because it looked like crap and looked especially bad since the exterior shows up so good. b. Got tired of everyone asking when I was going to do something about the interior. c. Had to start somewhere (it runs and drives, just not up t...

Hmmm! Thanks guys. I hadn't thought of the 302. I like that option. In a similar vein, I've actually found a 289 with a 4 speed top loader in a neighboring state. How would that work? Thought it was a little pricey $950 for both but in looking around it might not be too bad considering??

I would like to keep it "looking" stock unless that will prevent me from having enough power to run the accessories and still drive well.

Actually I'm open on the transmission. Was looking at the T-5 because of the easy mate up to the 223 through Mummerts.

Realizing that there is a ton of knowledge and information here on this site, plus some strong opinions I would appreciate your thoughts. Please bear with me as I try to explain what I'm planning and the items I need some advice on. I am resto/moding my 1964 Ford F100 short bed. It is very original ...

Thanks for the info TruckRat and the link SlickFan. Works fine for me. I may have to give myself a set of those door pockets for Christmas!

I'm lucky, I have plenty of space to park my vehicles (I'm on a city lot which goes through to the next block). But, I have considered buying a car just to park in front of the house to slow down speeders on our residential street.

I'm converting an oil bath to a paper filter for a 64 F100 1 bbl. The canister seems to be much smaller than those discussed on the site. I need a filter that measures about 8 1/2 inches (OD). Anyone found one with a number you can share. I did located one on K&N (E-3492) but nothing I've seen ...

Skip: OK! I'll bite. What's a fire wrench?

I'll be ready for the new carpet for my 64 F100 within the next two weeks. (Interior being painted now). Any recommendations on sources for good fit? I'm using Dennis Carpenter rubber products for the interior/doors/cowl etc. but I can't find carpet for my model on DC's site. I bought seat cover fro...

Thanks. I found this site a couple of weeks ago, but lost the link and haven't been able to find it again.
