kind of like the straight axle vs twin i -beam argument. i just tend to stick with what is simple and has worked for me in the past. i spent several years playing monster mudder long ago, bought more u-joints, bearings, and suspension parts many times over.was fun but wish i had all that $ back i sp...

either of the transmisiions can be used the bell for fe manual trans are all the same.the starter is the same. you need a manual flywheel for fe get the 12" clutch model if possible you will need the linkage pieces and the pedal,all easily removed from another truck and reinstalled. you will ne...

asking this question requires more specifics heres the real story a 63 cab is a direct bolt on to a 65 0r 66 f350 or f250 4x4.the height difference is only the roof panel.i replaced my 66 f250 cab with one from a 63 how can you tell by looking? shorter roof vents in kickpanels different lights and w...

i have found that when some folks start a project, spend a lot of $, then lose interest for whatever reason, it is no longer important to them.as for my friend, he bought the engines so anything else was bonus items.
never heard them called dentsides, i always called them innys and the 67-72s outies.

if you were in Alaska you could have one for the effort of removing it as i have several of the toploader 4 speeds trans and a few 3 speed and column shift like yours.the 292 and 6 use the same bell so anything that fits on the 6 will fit on the 292

the standard (suspension)lift was 3", the highboys had 4". a highboy with an additional 3" body lift can accomodate 40" tires with the big opening fenders.

put slick 60s in subject line
used parts, battery boxes, trim, misc odd parts.

thats a real good idea. you also could use a 3 way intake manifold water tee for an later fe intake that has the sensor then put the petcock or similar valve in that hole.old y-blocks with the heater control valve are easy to adapt a tee to as well.

i have a friend who likes 460s. recently he acquired a mid 70s f250 4x4 for the engine and another in the back that came from a lincoln.he told me ther was a whole bunch of new parts in the bed for that body.yesterday i was over there and he took off the tarps on the bed to see what was there. the p...

i think some may have gotten the wrong idea.i was viewing it as what can you design and build between now and slickstock that is not the usual looking slick. my running trucks are not perfect, they are drivers. after putting a couple stock slicks together i think i would like to do something differe...

i can send you an actual tag if you want

as you may know, refilling the system with coolant is somewhat of an issue in the Ford engines.air is present in the lines and needs to be removed or all the required coolant cannot be added. there are a cople ways to deal with this one is the drilling of a small hole in the thermostat to allow the ...

i have a few of the factory tachs, all from big trucks.i have not been able to come up with a dist. yet as all the trucks were engine deprived already.there are a couple different tachs in regards to the high end of the rpm scale.the other gauges that fit in the big trucks are air pressure and vaccu...

the steps were a Ford option, i have some NOS in the original Ford box somewhere.
truck does not look bad from the pics, however i think anything over $2500 is too much, especially with the existing engine.

this sounds quite interesting.hope it all can remain civil. i have a few ideas myself, unfortunately time and funds may not allow them to be complete. depends on how much extra time i have to do something original.certainly not likely to give Steve anything to worry about.

i decided it was easier to add a whole new front to fix the uni as the bed floor is near perfect.

Ford used a top loader 3 speed (new processs) in trucks for many years.it is a heavy duty fully synchronized trans(even 1st gear).

when i would go in the water the open ended axles always took on water. the enclosed in oil u joints have lasted me much longer the bearings and the knuckle seals are easy to change and adjust if necessary. in fact i will recount a very sad day many years ago, the last time i owned an open knuckle 4...

looks great.i happen to have a set of 5 of those wide inny wheels. also there is a cap available to fit on them that you do NOT need to cut out the f and d, just the center depression.they are an inny version of the 67-72 style caps.i only have 2, they are stamped ford of Canada on the back.i will t...

guess i will have to get a longer hose for my vac gauge so i can see it inside the cab.was actually thinking of installing it in the dash anyway. then i could watch 2 gauges drastically drop at high rpm, gas and vaccuum.
