By looking at the manuals that was posted here Ford used three different PTO's. They are Detroit Harvester Design, Wood Design, and Ford Design this is what caused my question to tell which was in this truck. Thanks for the help.

I was in Texas in December to visit my son and he took us to a place near Dallas/Ft. Worth. It is the person who he works for with the stagecoaches. We were able to walk around the property and the owner showed me a truck he had in a garage. He does plan to restore the truck but he had a...

If you are looking for a Ranger you might want to check out the lot at Indianola Ave and Oakland Park Ave. He has two Rangers sitting on is lot now.

You can try and find a place called Wagon Masters Auto Sales out in California that sales beds. There is also a place up near Upper Sandusky Ohio that sales truck beds. If I can find his card I met a guy last year that has beds from the eastern side of Ohio and PA.

My son has a 1996 F150 4.6 CI. He needs a set of battery cables because his broke. He went to one parts store but they sold him cables that would not fit. He was gong to have it towed to a repair shop but I say that we should be able to get a pair of cables and put them on ourselves. I...

Jeff, not from Mansfield either but an hour south of you in Columbus. BuzzGun79 you say you are from the Dover, New Philly area exactly where in that area are you located. I have family in New Philly, Uhrichsville and Dennison.

Look at POR15 or Rust Bullet. Rust Bullet states if used correctly it won't rust for 10 years.

I have found a 4 cyl Detroit Diesel that appears to be rebuilt with crankshaft thrust washer, main bearings, cylinder liner and block sleeves all standard. The engine was used in shipboard firefighting truck. It is currently up for auction at Government Liquidators and is located here in...

I live in Columbus and was raised in the northwest part of the state. Left Ohio from 1971 to 1979.

I had a Lear on my 99 F250 and could not get it to stop leaking water into the bed when it rained. It was not a hole in the cap but around the windows. It went back to where I bought it three times and to the factory once. The factory couldn't get it fixed either but just sent it back. It...

I put a steering gear box in my 92 F150 4x4 and it was about $150 for the part with a $75 core deposit. I got it from Auto Zone and when I took the core back I got my deposit back. They didn't even look at it just gave me the deposit back. It tighten up my steering, but a week later the...

I'm taking mine from manual to power windows and locks. Picked up the parts this Saturday. The power windows will be great when I have the dog with me and she wants her window down to stick her head out, since I can't reach across while driving. For the door locks it will be great to be able...

THe DiamondBack truck covers that I mention above opens both at the rear and at the front. The other thing I like about them if we go some place and need somewhere to stand or sit above a crowd etc you can do that without message with the cover. I had a cover on a small foreign PU that used...

I had a 99 F250 SD that did that and I found if I didn't put the nozzle all the way in the file tube it work OK. It wouldn't shut off then and when I look at it to see what was the matter it had to do with the way the filler tube was and against the pump nozzle.

Depending on what you want in a cover I am look at on called DiamondBack Truck Covers. They have a web site of WWW.DIAMONDBACKCOVERS.COM. Check them and and see what you think about them.

On your blue truck what kind are the rims? They look pretty good.

Dash and door panels look great. Where did you end up getting the dash cover? I might be interested in doing the dash on mine.:rolleyes:

Yea, I know they are costly but I think they are neat and will blow peoples minds here in Central Ohio. I will have to think about them during the next year. They also have nice rear bumpers with added back-up lights to enable old farts like me to see when I back up at night. Oh well tough...
