You shouldn't be having a problem. I put a 2.5" on mine, and have been around four more guys who have done the same with no problem. I also know a guy who is running a 3'' leveling kit with no problem. I'm running 35" tires on mine, and no shake/shimmy. Do you still have the old tire/rim...
Wow, just read your whole thread, and I'm impressed! Good looking truck, you have one of the best bases to start from. Those things are beasts, I've had a couple and love them.The 352 you have is a good engine, they made good power and respond to bolt ons. The edelbrock is the only...
Look into the coverlay for your existing padded dash, their cheap and look decent. I put one in an 86 Bronco, you can't even tell its not a real dash unless you know... I think they're about $100 through LMC for a bumpside. Not show quality, but way better than a cracked pad and looks pretty...
Wow, I didn't realize they were that rare. I've been thinking about converting mine to 4x4, but everything else I own already is... And I just recently got bitten by a boat bug, so all my money is going into the water.
the AE-H heads are the high perf 390 heads, if I remember right. I'm pretty sure this is the head that came on the S code 390, one of the best fe heads until you get into the 427 heads (cobra jet).
I've used Seafoam for years, I use it regularly, just put a can in the gas every so often. It is the best fuel fuel system/ fuel injector/ carb cleaner I have found.
I got a rebuild kit for mine when I bought my 76 in 1999, they said it had been setting on the shelf for years and they thought they'd never sell it. My power steering didn't work, I installed the kit and it started working. It steers easier to the right than it does to the left, but it is...
I'd stay local too, you can take it back if you have problems. Last thing you want is to pull then engine and ship it back to someone then try to explain via email what the problem is. Not to mention a local shop always seems cheaper to me, and you help your local economy...
I'm running some 32/11.5 on the back of mine right now, they fill it up pretty nice. But they do make the 235/70 on the front look to small, need bigger to fill up the wheel well. All on 15" wheels, just some junky tires I had laying around. When I buy tires I think I'll step down to 31's for...
you want a four speed from a truck, NP435. The Mustang 4 speed is called a "toploader", built by Ford. Way back when, some guys used to by floor shifters for the 3 speed in early Broncos (same tranny you have) to get rid of the column shifter. The truck 4 speed is a 3 speed for highway...
