    Help finding shift linkage bushings

    I'm in the process of completing some major updates to my truck and I am having a helluva time finding the bushings for the main link rod that is held in place with a bracket on the transmission and the other on the frame. I'm figuring the only solution is with a 3D printer but I'm hoping to...

    Changing gears in a Dana60

    Does anyone have any recommendations of a reliable shop somewhere in St. Louis that can replace the gears in a Dana 60 while it's still on the truck? I have a set of 4:30 gears that I need put into my front axle to match the 4:30 gears in the rear Dana 80.

    New engine nearly ready to be installed

    Well, not totally new. But what I found out from Austin at A&K Machine Shop in De Soto, was the original rebuilt was a shoddy mess. When it's done, next week, it will be 473cu in and the rest of the truck will fall apart before the engine gives out. I'm hoping to get it back into the truck in...

    Trim Items, where to get 'em?

    Good luck with your search. I remember how nice my truck (and all other new Ford trucks at the time) looked back when they were new. But once one of those trim panels got dinged, dented or broken, they were a bear to deal with. Mine lasted nearly the entire life of the truck. I actually took off...

    460 swap

    Be sure and take a look at L & L Products as well. Their brackets will make the swap a thousand times easier. My 460 swap was simple using their brackets and motor mounts.

    Need help with bleeding brakes

    If I had old parts on the truck, I would be inclined to go with that diagnosis. But everything is nearly new. I've bled the brakes until the bubbles quit showing up. It's not an abundance of fluid, just what you get when you press on the brake pedal. I'm still convinced that with the length of...

    Hydroboost Brakes

    Anyone here ever install hydroboost on their truck with vacuum boost on the master brake cylinder. I'm upgrading to AGR's power pump and Vanco's Hydroboost to double my brake line pressure. I'm just curious if anyone else has ever made the switch.-Michael

    Need help with bleeding brakes

    Everything on this truck is new. The lines are either steel or braided stainless steel.

    Need help with bleeding brakes

    Yes, I get plenty of fluid out. Yes, the bleeders are at the top.But I can't achieve a good, solid pedal. This is very frustrating. I believe that with the brakes I have, I should be getting much better braking performance than I am currently.

    Need help with bleeding brakes

    No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get the rear brakes fully bled. I believe that the large vertical drop from the frame to the axle is the main culprit. The distance is about 18 inches and the braided brake hose from the frame to the axle is about 28" long. I'm convinced that just...
