cab mount removel.

Should I used a cut off wheel, or plasma cutter?

If your good with the plasma cutter I would use it. Nothing like getting to use a nice plasma cutter.

Well, a multi-welder is on my list of things to get, but I have to build up my arsenal slowly. Have all the hand tools and power tools I think I need, just need a good welder.

I want a plasma cutter but the one I am looking at is about 4K and I hate to part with my money. The cheap ones just won't cut it(pun intended) for what I would use it for.
I have stick and mig welders but a plasma is on my must have tool list just under the car lift for the garage.

I have a Miller 375 plasma cutter and its the best thing too cut any kind of metal.And if you good with it you dont have any clean up.

 

[wareagle]

Awesome, so when should I expect you Saturday?

Yeah, I wanna know too? FE in a Maverick! Your making me all sweaty and tingly!

Just to be certain here... I ordered a set of Prothane poly cab mount bushings for my 1970 F100 lwb 2wd. The kit, 6-110, contains 12 bushings, which would mean this kit is for 3 sets of cab mounting positions. To be certain, from examining myself I only saw 2 sets of cab mounting positions on the truck. Can someone confirm...

Radiator support?

[wareagle]

Just got off the phone with Prothane and they said that if there are only 4 cab mounting positions (8 bushings) then the remaining are for the radiator support. Can someone confirm that there are only 4 cab mounting positions on the 1970 F-100 regular cab 2wd? I have looked under that sucker and all I found was 4 mounts..

 

[73F100Shortbed]

AFAIK, there are two in the front, 2 in the back.

 

[wareagle]

That is what I thought. The front ones are right behind the front fender well, and the back ones are under the in-cab gas tank. Well, looks like I will be replacing the radiator supports as well... Have been looking for a reason to drain the radiator. Looks like now I will have the chance.

 

[maverickfe]

Sorry dont have a maverick with an fe in it.

ps- IMO you got three good choices... 300-i6 or 390FE or 460. ...take your pick.
If you've got something other than those in a Bump or Dent, well, sorry 'bout that.

Ford Edsel, danggit! :/

-------
"FE" is an acronym for 'Ford-Edsel'. Versions designed for use in trucks and
school buses were known as "FT", an acronym for 'Ford-Truck', and differed
primarily by having steel (instead of nodular iron) crankshafts, larger crank
snouts and different distributors. -Wiki
