    drivetrain combos?

    I just got myself an '88 S10 T5 trans with the .72 OD gear. It was $100, a deal I couldn't pass up. My F1 already has a 3.25:1 9" rear. I'm using a stockish 239cid EAB flathead. Tires are 215/85/R16. Overall appearance is to make it look stock.With the .72 OD, my 65mph rpm is 1659. If I...

    '49 F6 Almost Guaranteed

    I finally got my F6 home. It only took a few years, but today it seems the wait was worth it. It's a 158" WB, 2sp. rear end, 1C for color (offwhite of some sort, painted reddish orange on the outside), has an assortment of lockring 20's and WM's, crashbox 4sp., and a 7H I6 replaced by an EAB...

    3rd gen 142" WB trucks

    Hi all, I know this won't get seen much, but I thought I'd throw a feeler out there for anyone who happens to know where I can find a 142" WB '57-60 Ford truck. These would be in the F500 or F600 range. Thanks!

    4x4 engine perch angles?

    Can someone put an angle finder on their engine perches? I'm trying to find two angles and a measurement:#1: the surface the mount bolts to is 45 degrees facing each other?#2: the angle is leaning back about 4.5 degrees, or is the perch level with the frame (not where it bolts over the top...

    If anyone has a '73-77.5 F150 4x4 frame, I would like to know the distances between centers on the top bolt holes for the frame perches. Thanks.I measured a highboy F250 and came up with 2.5" center to center. I'm curious to know if the half-ton is different or if they use the same bracket?

    67-76 4x4 and body ??

    Hi all, I'll keep it short.1: '67-72 front clip and cab is supposed to fit on a '73-79 chassis, right? Just the bed won't work? Just want to verify this, as I'm looking to replace the body on my '79 Bronco plow (w/swapped in 300 6) I know the axles are wider, but no big deal for me.2: Are...

    looking for engine perch pics and measurements, all versions

    FE/300 and 302/351/400 perch pics wanted for 2wd and 4x4. I'm looking to build my own frame section but don't want the full crossmember of the 2wd, and don't want the bigger perches of a 4x4. What I do want to use, are 2wd perches and motor mounts on a 4x4-like frame. This is for an engine...

    ZF5 sp. which truck to look for?

    Been seeing a lot of good deals on the local craigslist for used (generations 8 & 9) F150's and 250's lately. I'm not so sure the ZF 5 sp. was in an F150, but what all trucks did they come in, and what years specifically? Most typical ads only say 5 speed, and they don't know which is which...
