out on engine stand

I am going to replace the rear main engine seal in my donor motor today, is there anything you guys can warn me about or something I should know abut before i start?? Any torque specs would be great as well if anyone out there has them handy?

Been along time since my last post, but here is an update, been over a month now since I snapped the main rear Leaf spring off. She was sitting back up to the garage for all this time but yesterday after a month of workin everyday I FINALLY got to get at her and change it out. PS this leaf...

Thank You!!!

Haha to be hundred percent honest i dont have anything near me!!!. also the local guys at ford dealership would be lucky to find parts for a 2011 model let alone older stuff

Hey guys, I was out in the truck the weekend and snapped the main leaf spring in the rear on driver side. I need the factory part number so a shop can make up a new leaf spring pack. The truck is a 77 f150 , with three inch wide springs and five in the pack including the main and small one at...

cant help it i love everything about these trucks

hahaha the supercab is getting stored in the woods by my cottage for future parts. and the 74 if this happens will be used to lugging wood and stuff. the 74 i would love to do because of the divorced transfer case and dana 60's but the body is completely shot but who knows down the road when i...

he said he had the gears to change the front back to 4.10 he said he took then out because it was too slow ?????? why would you only change the front ratio right ???

possibly the supercab and maybe a 74 250 for a woods with an I-300 for a woods truck

1000 bucks and the truck ran so in my opinion pretty good considering all the stuff i got with it new still in box

Here is a few snaps of a parts truck i picked up and everything that the guy gave me along with it I have now got more than enough to rebuild my truck plus i pretty well have a couple of spares for everything. The truck just had all the cab corners and door jam plates redone as well as the...

Yea the axle ratio thing threw me way off when he said the front and rear were different. it would be alrite i guess in a completely slippery condition but regards to anything else she would tear herself to pieces. And i checked both axles on both trucks are def no doubt dana 60's

My buddy has a 79 f250 with an old perkins diesel in it! truck seems to be pretty good wit the diesei. only thing is that he looking to swap dana 60's into it because twice now he after getting it truck and snapping the spider gears in this front dana 44. Also with the four speed his truck has...

Alrite went over to take pics of the truck today got the real scoop on it from the owner. The truck is 74 f250 single cab long box originally. the short box on the truck is a spare box he has just laid on the frame and is not in anyway attached or nor frame shortened or modded.. The Front end is...

i goin to grab some snaps my next days off

that is why i asked for your guys input i had never scene or heard of 250 shortbox .once again you guys got the answers haha

only thing throwing me off really is the leaf sprung front end with a d60

from a quick glance the suspension and axles looked stock to me and she had the 250 badges on her as well i will get a few snaps tonight

Free for the taking if i can get it to run and drive off the property but it a long way and i already got a 79 in the driveway for parts.

A guy called me up because he heard i was lookin for dent parts and sent me pics of this one that was at a cottege he purchased apparently it was running until someone stole the distributer. Let me know what you guys think. Apparently this thing like 1 hr 45 mins down over a dirt road so i wanna...

Just out driving on some backroads today and found a bump. single cab short box f250. at a quick glance it looked like dana 60 front and rear. leaf spring front and rear, 78-79 front grill but has gas cap behind the seat??? so prob an older model with the 78-79 grille installed on it looks like...

Hauled my sled and trailor to the cabin with all the gear as well (piled around sled over the roof).

the donor truck i taking the motor out of has 351 with borg warner and my 77 has the np tranny is there anything that wont directly swap over, is are the input shafts the same etc etc ... what do i need to swap for the donor trucks 351 to bolt up to the np in my 77?????

so for the 460 i would def need a flywheel and motor mounts... and possibly diff oil pan and pickup? the 351 bell housing WILL bolt up for sure tho ????

Did some four wheeling this weekend in the 77 and whatever minor issue there was in my motor has no turned into a major one. My problem is that i have a 78 f150 in my driveway with a 351m that runs it just needs a fuel pump.... or i have a buddy that can get me a 460 for free that a buddy of his...

Been flat out working overtime for money for the overhaul. But Have got a few things done with the truck since my last post. I bought a 79 f150, from an older guy that just finished doing all the sheet metal work to the cab ( cab corners, floor pans etc...) he has six doors in mint condition...

I recently got a call from an old guy that started to restore a truck and is leaving the area, and is giving up the project. He called me as he thought i would be interested in the truck. He removed the original cab (4 spd) and relpaced it with another he had in better shape. The floors are good...

There is no engine builders anywhere near me, and i mean anywhere!!!! the one i got came with the fel pro full gasket kit when i done the head gaskets

well this is what i want to know, if i have to make fab something up i would do it before i start hauling it apart. anyone ??????
