I'd check the cable to see if it has melted on the exhaust. It also [the cable] may need greased. Randy.

Pretty cool truck! I think you'll have a lot of fun with it. Randy.

Sounds like a ground problem for the bulbs circuit to me, Randy.

I'm a drag racer, I've never owned a 4 wheel drive, watching vids like this makes me want to build one, sure looks like fun, Randy.

There shouldn't be much fluid between case and trans, it's sealed on both units. If you are removing the trans. from under the truck, it may be easier to unbolt t-case. If just pulling back to replace torque converter or flex plate, brace it secure to jack and leave it bolted up, Randy.

You had better ck. for valve spring collapse and retainer to guide clearance if you have stock heads. Randy.

Be careful, what cam? the stock heads and valve springs won't take much lift, and I have found out long ago the tech lines for summit,jegs etc. don't know big block Fords. Go for the Dove heads, you definitely need more compression to make power. Randy.

I say go for it, around here you could get your 400.00 back for scrap metal if it doesn't work out, Randy.

I use mine to hall mulch for the house, occasional trip to landfill, just fun drives etc. This week I plan to load up some parts and go to a flea market in Harpers Ferry W.V. Then I'll come home and put on drag radials and go to Mason Dixon Dragway and race. Best E.T. to date 11.14 at 118 m.p.h...

driveshaftGrease or debris in the yoke, Randy.

Great looking truck, and I say the 460 was the final touch!! Randy.

Praise the Lord for his protection. I'm praying for your recovery, your brother in Christ, Randy.

Middletowne?Just curious, did that truck come from Middletowne Md.? Some fire companies had aluminum utility beds, if yours is aluminum you should be able to sell it. You might want to measure wheelbase first to be sure a pickup bed will work. Randy.

the cam doesn't line up, this is normal. Is this a new cam? Comp,maybe? I and a friend and many others have had the same problem. The cam manufacturer is going to blame it on brake in procedure. The motor does need to come apart and be thoroughly cleaned etc. Are you going to do the work...

What is in the 79? Randy.
