Hey guys. Long time, no post. I recently acquired a friends 65 f100, short flareside, 2wd, 240, 3 on the tree. It's kind of a family truck, with a fair amount of sentimentality to it. This truck drives like a million bucks, so well that I tell people it drives like the day it left the ford...

So I got stuck on steep gravel towing a trailer AGAIN and began revisiting a 4x4 swap on my 77 f350 camper special. From research and parking 2 trucks side by side, I've figured out that there are actually a lot of similarities between the front of my frame and that of a 73- early 77 f250 4x4...

Hey fellas, been a million years since I posted. Got out of gen 6 fords for a while but now I'm back with a 77 f350 camper special. Setting up for gooseneck this weekend and had to make my own hitch (as is with everything on this truck). I decided to revisit my trailer wiring, since I am going...

Vin C60R3H49001, trans code 4syn, rear axle code 633-881, color N.VIN decoded means C600, 239 CID, and it was built in detroit.The body is straight as an arrow. a little surface rust, nothing major. hasnt been started in a few years. here is the best part- i got it for $100. no one else...

WTF did they do to that thing, and why???http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/1687741554.html

http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/1687898470.htmlDid they make a 2wd bronco II?

what are the differences in bed length in the 83-88 ranger? i believe the long box is 7'. what is the short box?

ug. so as i sit here thinking about how long the most recent u joint will last, i ponder...my f150 has the original 2 piece drive line. the u joints flat out will not stand up to the 460.the parts truck that the motor came out of had a much larger custom drive line with larger u joints in...

After a quick search, i guess ive got to start a thread about this.Ive got a ranger with a 2.9, and i plan on eventually replacing it with a 351w. But for now, a little more power would be much appreciated.So is there anything that people are doing to gain a little power?

So i decided its time for me to buy another toy. 1987 ranger, 2.9, manual, 4x4, 3" lift, 32-11.50-15 tires.The current problems- after i bought it, the battery i put in it was weak, and a friend of mine didnt understand that repeatedly clicking the starter on a weak battery wasnt gunna help...

I have an 87 ranger, 2.9, 4x4, 5 speed, electronically shifted t-case.I HATE THE STUPID ELECTRONIC BS.Is there any way to convert this to shift mechanically, like with a shifter through the floor? It dont have to be pretty, as this will be a wheeler. If this helps, i will have the...

Of a beat to hell 87 ranger. 2.9, 5 speed, 4x4, reg cab long box, 32-11.50 wildcats. It was a friend of mines brothers driver until he blew out the rear end. How, i dont know. So they needed it to drive and they got another rear end in, just to get them down the road. Only problem is it is...

Ok. I got bored today coming home and decided i hadnt burned out in a while. So i stop on dry pavement, rev it just a tad, and dump the clutch. And it takes off like its an automatic. It slipped that bad. Didnt even spin the tires. WTHAccording to the guy i bought the engine /trans from, he...

Ok I'm gunna lift up my 77 4 inches. I've got almost everything I need for the front lift, but nothing for the rear. My rear springs are still pretty strong. If I flipped the bracket for the shackle wouldn't that give me about 2-3 inches of lift?My other question is, will flipping the shackle...

For those who dont know the story, ill give a brief explanation.I blew up the 400 in my 77 f150 4X4. Replaced it with a 550 horse screamer 460. It was a used motor that i took out of a truck i bought. The guy i bought it from had completely beefed up the suspension from the t case back to...

twin stick baby yeah!

Is it true that if you are trying to tell the difference between a d44 and a d60, you can tell by putting a wrench on the diff cover bolts? if 9/16, then d60? I think i heard this somewhere

Apparently a stock 77 f150 4x4 can clear 35"

Ever since i converted to 4 speed, from a c6, ive noticed some slop in the drivetrain. It is noticable when going from decelerating with the engine holding the truck back, to accelerating, or vise versa. I had the trans and tranfer case out when i did the swap, and didnt notice any slop there...

In the holly 600 cfm carb...I always thought 600 seemed a little small, especially for larger motors. Boy was i wrong. My 460 is relatively mild. Bored a little, valve job, cammed up, nothing extreme. Slap a holly 600 on there, that thing is a screamer. Lots of power throughout the RPM range...

In the last couple weeks ive finally started the swap ive wanted to do since the beginning- a 400/c6/205 swapped to a 460/t18/twin stick 205. I got lucky enough to find a donor truck with everything i need.This is my blue truck. I bought it about 2.5 years ago, and it hadnt failed me until...

As some of you know, im working on the blue truck. The green one in my sig is the parts truck, with a lift. The front lift components look good, but i need to do something about the rear. All the PO did was stack factory blocks. That aint gunna cut it. I was wondering if anyone knew of a company...

http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-21610_np205_stainless_steel_twin_stick_shifter_kit.htmAnyone ever use this kit? Im doin an engine, trans, transfer case swap, and figure i should do this while its out. My questions are, one- Will it come with the stuff to make it directly bolt up for my...

Im about to buy a truck that im gunna pull the 460 out of. Ill have to do exhaust. Its a 460 with a hot cam, edelbrock heads, performer intake, and an edelbrock 750. I want to go big, but not too big. Whats the maximum diameter of pipe, with glasspacks, i should use, so i get lots of flow...

Hey all, havent been on in a while, due to working 2 jobs and trying to live it up during my last summer break.Im about to buy a 76 f150 4x4 for parts for my blue 77, which lost the engine and tranny in june. This 76 has a 460 built to about 550 horses, a 4 speed transmission and 205...

Ok so now that ive decided to replace blue after the motor went, Im thinking about going with an f250 4x4. How do these look?http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/1280781225.htmlhttp://salem.craigslist.org/cto/1272190237.htmlhttp://portland.craigslist.org/yam/cto/1285012146.html

Was 76 the first year for disc fronts or the last for drums in a half ton 4X4? Reason I ask is i might buy a truck to replace blue

Ive seen this truck like a dozen times around town, and just found where it lives. Thinking about you, tex!

I think I can throw this in here I guess, even If it ain't a ford, it involves ford.A friend of mine just bought a 1997 wrangler, with the 4 cyl. By far the most gutless thing Ive ever seen. He wants more power, Im a ford guy. See where this is going?I suggested a 302. From the googling ive...

Just bought this today. I figured it fit in this section because its on blue. I think Im gunna either camo it, or repaint the stripe down the middle to match the truck.
