Hey, y'all –*I spend most of my time over on the Gen 6 board (since I have a '73 F250 and a '74 F350 SCS), but a good friend of mine has two '61 Unibodies.The first one he bought came with an airbag setup, later Ford front clip, etc., so he bought a second one to scavenge parts from. Both are...
I always keep my eyes out for Dent model kits...and they seem kinda rare. But $90 for the Tuff Truk?!?!http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120689096216&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3***%3AMOTORS%3A1123#ht_1923wt_1141
Question: what does a fan clutch actually do? I've got one on my '74 F350 SCS's 460, while my old '73 F250 w/460 didn't have one.What's the advantage to a fan clutch? I've always seen them, but never really knew what they actually did...
Hey, guys ––*I'm finally getting around to installing the new hitch receiver on my '74 F350 SCS. Got the receiver mounted and the brake installed and wired, as well as the hookup mounted at the rear.But, now I have to run the wire kit from the front of the truck to the rear and into the...
Hey, guys--I was replacing the turn signal/flasher unit in my steering column today. Got it all back together (even got my horn working again, too), bolted the steering wheel back down, went to start it and no start. All the flashers, signals, electric seemed to be working, but no ignition.So...
So, I ordered a brand-new hitch for my '74 Super Camper and finally had a few hours today to mount the damn thing. Been a month since it was delivered overnite (free shipping) from JC Whitney, so you can imagine how happy I was to finally get to it today.And, as some of you might already have...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290528103943&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:MOTORS:1123Anyone know who made the wheels on this thing? Ansons, maybe? Big-n-little 16.5"s are *****in!
Check this thing out, fellers:http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/2181567755.htmlNeat truck and it looks clean. Somebody snag this thing up before it gets turned into some sort of Burning Man vessel!
Here's a friend of mine's neet '73 F250 Ranger for sale:http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/2135691884.htmlIt's in South San Francisco, CA –*let me know if you want a 3rd party opinion. I know the owner and the truck...
Hey, y'all--
So, I've been thoroughly LOVING my "new" '74 SCS, but I'm afraid I may have run into a problem that might be worth several hours of heartache...I was pulling up to a stop sign that's at a slight right curve in the street. Hit the left turn signal, but I have to turn the wheel to...
Damn, it would be this one:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260708456728&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:MOTORS:1123#ht_1386wt_1154Just change out the steering wheel and recover that seat and you'd be in business. Straight and neat-o!
I turned her over to a guy with a rollback who I thought was gonna scrap her, but he's offering it for a few hundred bucks. If you're interested, let me know and I'll tell you all about it before you call him:http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/pts/2108177864.html
Thought y'all might like to see this: an original '73 F250 in that orange/white rocker stripe paint combo. I never see many of these, but I've always wanted one. The interiors are way cool!This one's got all its original trim, but the interior is a little thrashed. I went by to look at it and...
Hey, does anyone know anything about when dual-tank Dents went from using a flush-mount gas cap door to a bare cap exposed in the recessed filler neck area?I remember my dad's '73 F100 single-tank had the neat door, but my '73 F250 dual-tank and '74 F350's caps are exposed.Any light to be...
Lots of rust in the bed and I don't think I agree with the guy when he says that it's one of the nicest '74s around, but it's got a ton of good parts and the sheetmetal looks STRAIGHT...
I remember seeing somebody mentioning that the jade green Gen 6 interior parts are hard to come by. Are these door panels considered "jade green?"Thought I'd post these up to see if anyone was looking for this stuff...
Well, it's actually a replacement of my '73 F250 CS--a '74 F350 Super Camper Special with only 78K miles on it! GAWD, it's even got A/C and the seat is in great shape! It's missing the spare and the extendable rear bumper and it's running 16s, but other than that, it's in amazingly good...
As I troll craigslist and eBay for '73-'75s, I see plenty of Camper Specials, but I never see Trailer Specials or even trim pieces, hardware, etc. for them.First car I ever drove was my Dad's '73 shortbed F100 Trailer Special and after I promptly totalled it racing one of my friends home from...
Just joined the CA group and got to thinking: anybody down for a get-together in the SF Bay Area? I've met one or two guys who have Gen 6s and would be into showing up for something like this.Also, I could take the reigns on this and look into a venue, organize it and help spread the word...
Hey, y'all--anyone know where I can find 16.5" Denman bias-plys? I know Coker sells them, but I'd love to do some comparison shopping, if at all possible.While I'm thinking about it, any suggestions for 16.5" radials, too?
Hey, y'all –*I'm parting out my '73 F250. I haven't started taking it apart yet, but here's a pic of it as it stands right now. Overall, the body is pin-straight, but the tailgate sheetmetal is in poor shape. Here's a list of what's available, but lemme know what you're looking for and I might...
Hey, y'all –- can anyone recommend a good replacement starter? I've gone through two in the last five years and now I had the latest crap out on me in a little over a year.I mean, they're not the most expensive things in the world and it wouldn't be such a pain-in-the-*** under normal...
Hey guys –*I've got a 460 that was rebuilt a few years ago after a spun main. Cost me a pretty penny, but it uses oil like crazy (the builder thinks it was a bad batch of rings from the manufacturer, since he had a similar problem on another motor he built at the same time using the same rings)...
Apologies if this has been discussed here before (as I'm new to the board and haven't gone back through all the pages in this forum yet), but I'm looking for any info, pics, etc. on old Hone-O-Drive overdrive units.From what I've seen, the 300-series unit is the universal style and they're...
Just found this site this past week and thought I'd join the fray. I'm a fourth generation (family, not vehicle) Ford truck guy –– first thing I ever drove (and wrecked) was my dad's '73 F100 Trailer Special.I've owned my '73 F250 for about six years now and I've been slowly collecting parts...
