E-Brake cable and Truck infoThanks for the info Tim! For 61F100, I ordered a lot of parts from Obsolete & Classic Auto Parts. They are Ford only restoration and parts suppliers. They have what you need. Here is the link to help you out...

I have a D4TE in my 62 F250 4X4. I've heard these industrial Ford Truck engines have 4 ring pistons. is thios so? I also have not determined the displacement yet, but I'm having trouble finding rebuild kits for these FT engines. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have a 1962 F250 4X4. I'm rewiring the truck and the dash wiring is a mess. Does anyone know where I can find a wiring schematic/diagram for my truck?Thanks

I recently cleaned my engine and found D4TE on the passenger side of the engine block. I've looked this up and found its a 1974 Medium and Heavy Duty Truck Block with reinforcement webs. I dont know what cu in the engine is since I havn't torn it down. Does anyone have one of these engines in...

Soooo, moving development of a vehicle from the U.S. to another country will create more jobs here, right? I dont see how GM is helping the horrible economy in any way

Hi everyone. I have information following the VIN on my 62 F250 4X4 I need to decipher. The info is Trans F and Axle 24B I would like to find out what they are. I believe the rear axle is a Dana 44 and the gear ratio is 4:55 to 1 by what the tag numbers say on the differential. 41/9.I am...

Mounted my new Peterson turn signal switch on my 62 F250. Starting to wire it in. Gonna be cool to have hazards on an old truck that was not factory stock

For multi-battery systems above 2, all batteries were replaced if a few went bad. I know this from being a tank mechanic on the M1A1's when i was in the military. They have 6 12V batteries, series-parallel, to make a very stout 24V system. I know thats different from trucking companies. I would...

Thanks. I've been learning more and more about electronics and honing my electrical skills.

Today I fixed my charging system for my 62 F250. Someone put in a 69 390 FE and when i recently acquired the vehicle, found the alternator wasnt puttin out. Disassembled the Wells Voltage Regulator, (newer remanufactured circuit board regulators), and found a burned out resistor that channels...

Love RWD. Does a FWD car pull the front tires off the ground?........... Nope. Love my 4WD when wheeling and plowing through snow. FWD is good in the snow though. I do not care to work on FWD vehicles though, no thank you.

Very cool. Looking to buy a set of rims that came off a 97 F250. Thanks much Bill

Will wheels from a 97 F350 8-lug fit my 62 F250 8-lug? I checked a few sites and the size for the 97 F350 is 8x6.50". I can't locate a site that tells me what my size my bolt pattern is on my 62 F250. I havent measured them yet

Sweet. Thanks for the recommendations

Thanks for the input and I'll check with advance adapters to see what I can make happen. I dont have a problem with modifying the transfer case from a divorced to a married. I appreciate it

Your welcome. Hope it works for you

I'm considering a Throttle Body Injection conversion to ditch the carburetion since I plan to do some serious mountain wheeling later on. My 62 F250 4X4 has a 390 FE. What would be a good system to go with? or would anyone recommend another setup instead? I want to keep the 390 in there. Thanks

That tab mounted on the engine is your timing pointer. When you hook up a timing light properly and watch the harmonic balancer on the crankshaft, you'll see the timing marks and can determine how much advance should be set for your engine. You can adjust this by loosening your distributor...

Love this big brute. Bought in early November. Has electrical issues, but the Beast runs great!

Got rid of the wood sides that were on the truck when purchased. Looks better

Unfortunately, this truck is no longer mine. Many, many issues with it.

I just bought a 1962 F250 4X4 in great shape. Has a 390FE, T-18 w/granny low, and the divorced transfer case. I'm looking for an older 5 spd heavy duty transmission to replace the 4 spd thats in the truck. Does anyone know of a particular transmission I can bolt up to the 390 and get some...
