I just bought a 1977 f250 ranger that i want to rebuild and im 17 and have never done anything like this and have nobody to help me so i was wonding if someone could answer a few questions for me.
first, the last owner twisted the rear end and i have to buy a new one and the little plate that says what the gear ratio is is missing..how do i find out what the gear ratio is?
Second, the guy robbed the carburetor off of it, the engine is a 390 and i know it needs to be a four bbl..but thats all i know, i called shucks but the guy there was less informed than me, he told me ford doesnt make a 390 only a 351 and a 400..so can somebody help me out? Thank you
Sincerely,
