Hey folks, instead of us hijacking some innocent members build thread, lets do our "bench racing" on this one. Keep it civilized though......I haven't posted much lately because this forum has been pretty slow. It's a viscous circle.......so post up!!!!!!smilieFordlogo Anything old Ford truck...
Hey guys, I need a lesson on oil pans........My current project is trying to stuff a 300 six into my '51 Ford cabover truck. Problem is the chassis is brand "X", so I got that huge cross member in the way.
Sooooo, I need to find a rear sump oil pan......I think they exist, but what vehicle did...
He was driving his old yeller '48........I love the looks of this old truck, nothing fancy but has the right stance for sure. Kind of a hodge-podge, sbc auto and pacer front end......but it works, he drives it all the time.
My next one will be like this, no fancy paint to worry about...
Are these things any good to put in an old truck? What kind of power can they take in stock form? Towing or hauling? Were they ever installed in trucks by ford or just a car tranny?Probably the wrong place for this question, but...........:hammer:
My goal here is to put a newer 5.0 in an older truck and ditch all of the computer junk. I found an '88 F250 donor truck and was wondering how difficult it would be to swap a carb for the efi....is it as simple as swapping manifolds? Will any 289-302 manifold fit? then I would need a different...
I'm curious about original colors on these trucks....
My '51 F-6 COE was originally white, kind of a bright white. The one color chart I found online did not show a bright white, just a cream color.
I also had a '51 F-2 years ago that was the same white I think.....
Any links or pics?
I have a chance to pick up a 351m engine for my COE project....but since space is very limited I'm not sure it will fit. How much bigger are they than a 302? Bigger than a 390? I'm talking about physical size .....
Anybody have any dimensions? Need overall width and height. Tried to search the...
Been doing a little clean up of the interior of my '51 COE cab.....
Before I do any painting, I need to decide what to do about the gauges. My funds for this truck are very limited, so are my options...1. Buy new "big round" gauges....very $$$$
2. smooth the dash and buy a set of 5 autometer...
This truck belongs to a friend of mine here locally....
It is heavily customized and runs a Chrysler hemi with a blower. Personally I think it's kinda over the top....what do you guys think?
Follow along with me as I install a Borg Warner 5 speed in my '52 F-1.A little background......my F-1 has a mostly stock flathead V8 and a column shifted 3 speed trans. It runs and drives good, but really needs a couple extra gears. Especially on hills...
I'm also hoping to gain some mpg's on...
Hey guys, I'm new to the site.....thought i would put up some pics of my truck.
It's a '62 F100 4x4 with a 262 six and 4 speed. The box has been changed to the 64 style. Couple pics.....

Hello all! Just signed up, this is a nice looking site. Can't believe I haven't found it sooner.My name is Scott and I am truly a Ford truck fanatic! I'm more into the older trucks. My trucks range from a '52 F-1 to a dentside to a superduty F250.
Thanks for having me!
