    Uh oh

    I just noticed this today... Is it dangerous to drive like this? Should I remove the shock on the other side as well, so it's even until I can get it fixed?Sent from my SM-A205U using Tapatalk

    Leaky rear

    So I was under the truck to work on the exhaust, and I noticed this. I'm guessing the seal where the drive shaft goes in is bad. It's wet on the other side too, so I guess it needs a new gasket there as well. How big of a job will I be getting into to fix this?Sent from my SM-A205U using Tapatalk

    HEI distributor recommendations

    Hi guys,I haven't been around here for a while, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good HEI distributor for my '77 F-150 with a 400. I've been running a Mallory Unilite with a mechanical advance for the last few years and the truck runs great with it, but if I splash in a puddle...

    Help, my truck won't run when it's raining/wet outside

    Hi guys, I've been having a problem with my truck not wanting to start/run in the rain. Sometimes I can get it started with difficulty, but the last time I did that and tried to drive it, it shut off and let me sit. It works perfectly fine in dry weather so I am a little confused. I thought it...

    oil in exhaust

    My nephew just bought a 76 f-150 with a 390 and it has an oil leak. As far as we can tell, oil is leaking into the exhaust manifold on the one side. Does anyone know what could cause this? How do we determine what could be causing it? Thank you

    HID's

    Has anyone put hid lights in their truck? I found some on Ebay but I'd like to see how they would look in one of these trucks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271116984071?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    Trans problems...

    Got my 400 put in and running, but now the transmission is screwed up. Every gear is like neutral, you can push it in every gear except park. I checked the linkage and shifted it by hand, it clicks in but it doesn't seem to change anything at all, the vaccum line looks fine and I tried hooking...

    Sliding rear window missing pieces

    Does anyone have these pieces I am missing or know where I can get them online? Maybe someone has a window laying around that is broken? As you can see it is just 2 pieces of glass and winter is coming, not to mention how insecure it is.

    a few questions on a 400

    I just picked up a rebuilt 400 engine the other day. The guy claims it was never driven on the road and probably only has like 300 miles on it. He bought the truck it was in after it was rebuilt, so he doesn't know much about it. It has an Edelbrock performer intake and a Holley carb, when you...

    Towing trouble

    Hi, I've been using my truck to tow a big 19 foot boat lately and it does fine on flat surfaces but going uphill it can barley pull it. I drop down to about 15-20mph on some of the bigger hills, shifting down doesn't help much either. I will not let it rev very high for fear of blowing a head...

    stepside bed

    So I always wanted a stepside, and one just popped up on craigslist for a good price. Problem is, will this fit on my frame that was made for an 8' stlyeside? or do the stepside trucks have a shorter frame?

    Nephew rolled my truck...

    So about 2 weeks ago my 19 year old nephew who was still on his permit at the time, was driving my truck for practice with me and his brother along. It was raining and I was just telling him about being extra careful in the rain. We were following his dad to go stock trout, we got out onto a...

    steering wheels

    Hey, I haven't been on here for a while working a lot. I was just wondering what kind of steering wheels fit our trucks? does it have to be made for a 73-79 or do most wheels fit just about anything? It would be neat to have an old one from like a 59 Ford or something, would anything like that...

    problem

    I am having a problem with my truck when going up a hill, it's hard to describe but its kind of like the fuel flow being cut off for just a split second or like the engine spitting, and if I give it more gas it does it more and then starts to bog down the engine. Does anybody know what might...

    what is this bushing called? it is in the front and it needs replaced, the truck makes a loud banging noise when you go over a pothole.
