Alright boys opinions and info needed..I want to build my 77 LTD II into a solid street performer, not a barn burner, but something i can run down the strip and not get laughed at...Heres what im thinking.. Headers Edelbrock intake/Edelbrock 650 carb Mild cam GT40 heads Early timing set and...

I keep reading/hearing the the newer 460s are known for plugs seizing in the head, breaking off, then causing all kinds of issues. How common is this? Or is it like any engine where they dont get changed then get stuck.Just wondering what i may be in for first tune up time...

Ok, the semi i drive at work is having issues no one (not even a dealer) can figure out...Its got a M11 CumminsIt will run like hell for bout 15 minutes, then slowly begin to lose RPMs at wide open throttle, untill finally it wont tach over 1100 then it stalls.New injectors, TPS and ECM...

The 97 i just bought has the bench seat in the back, does the $$$ part of the seat fold up? And if it does how so? This is my first club cab truck, seems like my uncles 94 did, thats why im asking...

Turned my heat on and get steam outta the vents, any tricks on how to get this done on a AC equipped truck?Also, how do i know if its a high output heater or regular?

My wifes 2010 escape wont idle...Been getting worse over the last few months...Its fine when you first start it, problem comes in when warm...At idle it surges and misses, sometimes doesnt wanna start, but is smooth as silk as soon as you tip in the throttle.Check engine comes on and...

Odd problem....I keep hearing this odd faint buzzing noise at idle in park or neutral, and only before warmup. It goes into gear fine and stops once its in...any ideas? Its my 77 with a C6

Our town is having a thanksgiving day parade. My dads buddy was going to run his 49 F2 (or maybe F3) in it and pull a float but broke his leg in 3 places and needs surgery, etc and probely will be outta commission till christmas or so...I have never, ever drivin a vehicle this old. I will go...

1978 F350 dually, 400, edelbrock intake and 4bbl carb, headers, Creeper 4 sp, 2wd, not pretty but runs and drives excellent, does need a couple minor things but will run down the road as is.Great work/farm truck. $1500 obo pm me if intrested.

1977 F250 Camper Special Ranger XLT. 400 V8 C6 New radiator, radius arm bushings, rebuilt carb, new gas tank, runs and drives excellent. Modern brake controller and aftermarket trans cooler.Drive anywhere. Would be easy resto or put er to work.Selling only to get a more practical camper...

In the near future im thinking about a 09+ F150 to tow my camper with and to retire the old 77.Would a crewcab 4wd with a 5.4 (or ecoboost on the 10+) be ok towing a 30 ft camper that weighs in around 7000lbs?My wife isnt too keen on a superduty and itll be my daily driver....so i feel like...

Or a garage creation?

Ive hit the motherload...http://www.oldfordcrewcabs.com/market/

Ok one last question...Here soon im going shopping for a rear end to replace my 3.07s.On car-part.com it says theres a difference between regular F250 rear and the camper special rear...can anyone confirm this? If there is a difference its going to seriously narrow my options.Im still...

It wont blow cold air. The line running into the top of the condensor is hot...compressors running but i get no drip and no cold air??? Had it converted and charged...Any ideas?Also i cant seem to find an evaporator anywhere...the dryers are cheap and readily availiable. Any idea where to...

Ok....On the way to the campground friday my truck just quit. Acted like it was either flooding or starving...im thinking starving because it was not smoking....On the way home it did the same thing but when i pulled it over i heard a hiss coming from the fuel cap,..i undid cap and a rush of...

Its not for sale or anything...just a random pic that showed up on my facebook. I like it...never seen a dent get the semi treatment before

Ok guys dont shoot...Ive been tossing around the idea of selling my 78 1 ton for a while. My wife is kinda pushing for it and part of me wants to cause its one less vehicle i have to repair.It hasnt ran in a yr or more....some gas and a battery it would fire right up. It needs exhaust work...

For some reason my fuel gauge wont come up untill ive driven a mile or two. Its just sits st the resting point below "e". Also i think its 1/4 tank off (ie reading a 1/4 when its really a half) cause when i fill it it only goes to around 3/4.Do you guys think it may be a sending unit? Or...

I do. Not so much something will happen but that something will fail hardcore and leave me stranded somewhere. I dont know why i get this feeling (these old trucks are the only vehicles ive ever owned that never left me sitting somewhere).I was just wondering if im alone in this feeling?

For a dd/tow rig. I have a 30 ft salem travel trailer that when loaded weigs about 7000lbs. Im looking at V10s because you can get a really nice one under 10k.First off what kinda highway mpg do they usually get? (4x4)Are they reliable?Anything else i should know?

After a four month or so hiatus with a broken cpu im back. Now im on one of these stupid smartphones So please forgive any typing error on this little $$$ keyboard :). Before you ask both my dents are doing fine :D

My buddy has a 85 (or 86) F250 Club cab long box 4wd with a 6.9L that he wants to trade for my 77. His truck is in about the same shape as mine except it needs a windsheild, he bought his truck to restore it and decided he wants a 70s truck instead....His truck is a lariat, with an automatic...

Maybe im missing something....I built some ramps to get my 6x6 into the back of my 77 F250, i got the tailgate spreaders off but i couldnt get the tailgate itself off. (I wasnt super comfortable driving 750-800lbs onto the tailgate).....I know usually you just undo the straps and lift it and...

Never seen this before.....or it says its a 78 but its got 77 Front end...did someone swap it or did they make these maybe in early 78? Either way i like it...http://lansing.craigslist.org/cto/3474230815.html

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIE9C1RHsnoI know its not stock...but it looks like a farm truck....pretty cool IMO.

How hard would it be to swap the C6 in my 77 F250 for the BW T18 thats in my 78 F350?I dont know for sure if i am going to do it....if its easy enough i might. Both trucks have the 400. Im just thinking with a 4sp and some 3.54 gears the 77 would tow so much better....Im definatly planning...

Some people....I have drivin older vehicles pretty much my whole driving life, except for a couple, they have all been older then 1983....Why is it that people automaticaly assume two things....1- You are broke/poor/jobless and thats all you can afford.2- That any vehicle older then 1990...
