  1. This website's aways had this trouble. Fix it.

    To the geek/s of FTF,The trouble I'm talking about is the subscribed threads being dropped from the User-CP's list too dangged quick. Just read one wanted to respond but needed to do some reading first so skipped it and responded to another post.Came back the list was gone. I complained...
  2. Which of the SEM products to buy to seal the drip rails?

    Which of the SEM products to buy to reseal the drip rails on my old Dent?"heavy bodied black seam sealer" 40377 (60 minutes)30 minutes... "seam sealer" 39377 "beige seam sealer" 39477 "self leveling seam sealer" 39387 <----- {update} SEM Tech sez this one "high build, self leveling, seam...
  3. Door re-enforcement, you done it?

    Got to figure something on this and going to start on it today. With the plastic panels off you can see the horizontal metal rib flop to beat hell when the door is slammed shut "normally".It sucks donkey dick and makes for a sloppy sound with the plastic panel installed. I'm going to screw...
  4. Hey Dennis/Mi1lion! :)

    Is there a way to erase all my posts and threads I put here on FTF? :) I still see things you posted to FTE and just wondered if FTF is like FTE that way. :/Alvin in AZ
  5. dead ALT gauge to voltmeter swap

    My son took the voltmeter meters out of a couple Ford vans and put 'em in our 75's speedometers and so replaced the dead ALT gauges.Anyway, it -reads like- a voltmeter "on the cable clamps" now. :)----------------------A hand held analog voltmeter with its leads dug into the battery's...
  6. Driveshaft and pinion angles

    Swapping out the E4OD and transfer case for a simple 2wd ZF in my '91 Bronco left the driveshaft angles not-quite-right. LOL :)It's all good until I get going ~85mph then it's "whir...whir...whir". Supposed to be the classic sound of bad driveshaft anglesNo theory here just facts...
  7. New Dent :)

    Was given another truck the other day, so that makes me 7+1/2 Ford trucks all together and right now only my '75 F150 (I bought new) is drivable! LOL :)The newest one is a March of '75 F250 flat bed (wood) 6000GVW 2wd 360FE T18 x44,000 miles Willcox AZ farm truck. Never wrecked but got...
  8. Rear axles differert between '91 F150 and '91 Bronco?

    Wanting to take the open differential from the 74k mile F150 and put an Eaton True-Trac in it and also change the gear ratio from 3.55 to 3.73. Doing it myself should be about $1000.So, I'm wondering if the rear axle part numbers are different before I go and rebuild the rear axle in the '91...
  9. Advanced the cam timing on a '91 351w + ZF

    Finally got that project done and the engine feels less powerful. I would not recommend it for anyone with an automatic transmission!But it's really nice with the wide ratio ZF. :)There were times when there was no -right- gear to be in, it sucked. The pipey 351w (like a 2 stroke) was cool...
  10. 351w rear main and timing cover seals?

    There are too many choices on RockAuto etc to choose from for a 351w rear main and timing cover seals. :/ So what do I do?Tear into it and take the old ones to the store like in the old days? :) Got any better ideas?----------------Rear main is leaking pretty bad and it's not that big of...
  11. Anybody try firming-up their bench seat? :)

    I'm going to give it a try with a dozen of these... http://www.mcmaster.com/ And search for... 9628K52 I'll take a picture. ;)All I really know about it is the bench seat out of the '91 F150 is a soft piece of crap compared to the original in my '75 F150. And I only weigh ~180#.YMMV?Alvin...
  12. How square is your truck? :)

    Thought my Bronco might need some adjustable bushings, but turns out it don't. :) One front tire had too much camber since I got it. :/ It leans to the driver's sideI measured the crap out of everything underneath it including whether the frame was square, diamonded or twisted. Turns out it...
  13. What's your little fixes? :)

    Couple weeks ago, while I had the steering wheel pulled, noticed the whole turn signal's plastic base-plate was loose but the screws were tight.It's made that way because the screws have shoulders on 'em but it was too stinkin' loose to suit me anyway. LOL :) So I worked a small o-ring onto...
  14. Got any ideas on how to refinish a foam headliner?

    One I got from the "top" of a '92 Bronco that has completely lost its fuzzy fabric covering and noticed today, that there are places where the cab's headliner is losing its fuzzy fabric covering too. :/What did you do? :) What would you try? ;)Neither are installed right now, but I'm...
  15. True your own tires? :)

    Yep, here's another crazy idea from Nuttyboy. :/Called all over town asking for who to call and only found two guys that knew what tire truing even was. :/ The one outfit I found that trued tires was in the business of pre-truing tires. So they had to have the tire off the wheel. Well heck...
  16. Do you know the curb to curb turning diameter?

    Do you know the curb to curb turning diameter for our dents? ...and please post some of them? :)They won't be this simple since there's several wheelbases and then double that because of 2wd and 4wd versions too... ---------- From a 1990 Bronco brochure posted to FSB... :) 1990 Bronco specs...
  17. Advance the cam 4 degrees?

    My 360FE engine rebuilder swore up and down that advancing the stock "smog" cam on those old '70's smogged-up engines would give you more usable power and better gas mileage just using the stock cam.So, wondering if doing the same... installing a certain timing set in a '91 351w guy could...
  18. Crappy plastic head light lenses

    Polish versus poly-urethane?A local guy swears the poly-urethane method lasts much longer than polishing. ...but is it any good tho? :/And what's with them getting so stinkin' dull to start with? The tail light lenses don't get that dull so quick. The plastic RR signal lenses didn't get...
  19. Dash mounted speed control-control?

    Most of my modifications are only for me, but was thinking this one might be for a few others since it removes the need for the speed control-control to be on the steering wheel, opening up a whole new range of steering wheel options. :)Studied up on how the control works with just three...
  20. Modify the steering column angle/position?

    Anybody here ever modify the angle/position of a non-tilt steering column?Got the bench seat in the '91 Bronco and the steering wheel is in the way of my clutch leg! :( What the heck was Ford thinking? ..."sell tilt" maybe?The angle and placement of the steering wheel reminds me of 70's...
  21. Anybody else just hang their carpet over the...

    ...clothes line and spray it down good with the garden hose? :)Oh man, does it ever work out great (in the desert). :)But the very best part was taking my freshly-sharpened pocket knife out and cutting a big ol' hole right in the middle of the nice clean Bronco carpet. ;)Nuttyboy in AZ
  22. Is there a way to adjust the idle on an EECiv?

    Mine's idling fine at about 750rpm (ZF) but would like to lower it to about 600rpm and see how it drives etc. :)Tinkering fool in AZ '91 Bronco 351w ZF
  23. Loose lower body mounts on a Bronco?

    Four of the center body mounts were loose on my '91 Bronco. Could mostly see it in the lower rubber. :/I just fixed the two easy ones to get to, right behind the seat, and will get to the two near the rear axle later when I pull the 8.8 for a rebuild. :)Anyway, so I worked out a "method"...
  24. It locks itself?

    It's starting to get on my nerves. LOL :)Sometimes as I pull the door handle I can see the door lock being pulled down. Each time I pull the door handle after that, the lock gets pulled down farther! ...until it's all the way down! LOL :)It's been getting worse and worse so thinking it...
  25. The Wedge parts we find :)

    GT40 heads... http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pts/1521953156.htmlHe doesn't have a price and I have no idea what stuff like that goes for... :/ What would you consider a -fair- price for "ready to go" GT40 heads? :) So I'll know what to get and what to leave.Alvin in AZ
  26. How do you remove the windshield chrome?

    I really hate clipped-on stuff! :/ So how do -you- get the clips to let go of the chrome covers around the windshield? :)The Ford Shop Manual, as usual, is skimpy on the details of those clips. Interior covers and stuff like this where it's clipped-on at the factory with -hidden- clips, is...
  27. Simmons drive shaft shop, Tucson AZ

    A really cool thing happened yesterday I can't quit thinkin about. :)I went in with all my drive shafts from my '90 F250 parts truck and the two from the '91 Bronco and one that came in the bed of a parts truck.Told them "forty nine and a quarter inches" Wade Simmons wanted to know where I...

  30. 29 spline output yoke for the ZF?

    Looking close at the output yoke from the ZF I can see the yoke is slightly beat up and so won't perfectly center the U-joint. :/Tried finding a new one with no luck, not even sure where to go from here.Looked in the Ford Parts Catalog on CD can't even find the-one-I-have but the parts...
