Hell do a 4wd conversion and keep her! That would be a sweet project.

 

[CaFordDude]

Like vince and doc said this thread was asked for and stickied to be a chat thread about dents. If it can't be kept on topic then I will unstickey it and or make it go away.

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Alright Aaron sounds good to me. Matt I would re build that motor if I was you its got a lot of miles.

Hey whats the diff between a 351-W and a 351-M?
Besides flippin' the M into a W?

 

[Mil1ion]

Anthony that isn't a Dentside question.
That is an Engine question.

You need to go here.

I think this is a Dent side question?
I want to upgrade my 79s 302 with a 400! will I have to do any thing to the frame of move the steering gear box?
If that isn't a Dent question, then sorry

Hey ut I may be home in April if my leave gets approved, if you wanna hook up so I can see that mean ass red and white 77 250. I'll bring my 78 over to campus and that way you can see two setting together out there. My wifes sister goes to school there as a freshman, and Ive been there a few times, usually raising hell in Knoxville, end up around UT talking **** to some city boy college kid, who says the wrong thing about my old Ford. Oh and for everyone else, I finally started buying parts to stuff a 460 in my 78. My crank, rods and pistons are already at home, speedpro, .60 over forged pistons, should have around 9.8:1 compression, once I zero deck, and mill the heads. 429 already bought, on the way. d1ve block, dove-c heads, factory four barrel. Will have a weiand stealth, ported heads, 750+ holley, crane hyd. cam, with 226 intake/230 exh. at .50, .522 int./.530 exh. on 112 lsa. Running mad dog fenderwell headers. Hopefully it'll be pretty stout.

 

[bucks77ford]

Purecountry, that sounds like one hell of a motor you are building for your 78.

 

[purecountry]

Heres some pics. I'll have pics of my engine, carb and intake, as soon as I get them. Anyone have a good idea on some badass looking valve covers?
Pistons and crank, the crank has been polished since then, looks much better.

Cam, lifters, and springs

I haven't had any problems with my '76.
Hey,come to think of it,I haven't fixed any problems either...


Ill gladly take your super cab!


I would love too,cept you is several thousand miles away.


HAHA,ship it too me!
Then my '76 can have a brother to rust out with...

Thats not a place to store a dent,or any vehicle for any matter...

dents and bumpsides down to bare bones are the same truck. bodys switch. You can put dent parts on a bump and vise versa. How do you think us bump guys get tilt steering or disk brakes?

 

[A_G]

I thought it be a F-250 Badged F-150,is their any proof that they even exist?
All you have to do is take an F-250 find some F-150 badges and bingo,you got your "Rare" truck...

i think it was 77 when they made an f150 to beat emissions?

a vin check will fix that

alright im done now, time to go to another section before i get this thread locked...

 

[Mil1ion]

1976 Was the first year of the F150

1975 was the first year of the Supercab

1977 was the first year of the 351M/400
and the last year to get a in-cab fuel tank.

 

[TexasNomad]

I have a question I was looking on Wiki and it says there is F120s and f130s f40s.. f170s?
What is a f120?

Hey Tex,Bad part about Wiki is anyone can add info to anything there

 

[Mil1ion]

There are F13's (F130) and it is my opinion it translates to an F100 4x2 with a Dana 44 axle and Dana Hub

can someone please edit my 315M to 351M ?

I went dyxlesic.

Actually this might be an American issue,but F-150s Came in 75.
Super-cabs in 74.
Maybe 1 year late cause your in another country?
Also '76 was last yr for FE engine...

The HOTROD link you put in the thread about facts regarding the 400 says that Ford debuted the 400 in 1971.
