Cool car!! I remember looking at a Mercury about like that some 35 to 40 years ago in SW Minnesota. I thought it was cool then and wished I...
Just WOW!!
Amazing pictures.. but you'd think there would be a person or two in them somewhere if they were actually real. But still very cool!!
Having run I90 through that stretch several times, I understand the differences for the east vs. west side. I don't remember a much better place...
I run 195/65r15s on the front of my 60 Ranchero. It has 205/65r15s on the back. I have a '75 Maverick rear end. All on Ford 15 inch steel rims...
You are confirming my thoughts.. The over grinding of the welds can't be undone.
They had it all together when I got there to pick it up. One axle came out easy but they had to whack the other one pretty good to get it out. I...
Sorry for the length.. I've been gathering parts for my first build, a T roadster. I plan to use a Model A frame with a '33-36 dropped axle up...
I plan on doing this very thing. I have a banjo rear from a 1939 (wide 5) that I hope to use the backing plates from.
Interesting setup. I have Ford Duraspark electronic ignition on my 200 from the 75 Maverick. That helps a lot over the stock ignition. My...
I drive a 60 Ranchero daily but it has a 200 from a 75 Maverick. I have a toploader overdrive and 3.55 rear gears. I get close to 30 mpg if the...
I'll agree with changing the cab.. sucks that it happened!! I've been there but I got my fire out before it did much damage. Just bubbled...
Your '58 may have adjustable rocker arms and even may solid lifters. I've not had an FE that early. I know in '58 Fords the early heads had...
Well, I don't claim to be an FE wizard but to my knowledge most everything you mentioned interchanges. As long as you don't get into more exotic...
I buy a lot of my parts from Rockauto. You do have to watch the shipping as they ship from different warehouses and that can drive up shipping...
Early Bronco housings are more centered, 1966-1977. Unless you luck onto one, they are hard to find and rather expensive.
Rockauto has them for the front for about $80 for a "primed" one. I think they are the same bumper from 1961 all the way to 1977. The part...
Yes, you'll need the trans shift arm from a floor shift model like a Mustang. I don't think you can't just "turn it around" as it only mounts one...
You can't see in the hole where the cable hooks up to tell if the gear is on the shaft? You mention a "toploader" sounding like it may not be...
Very cool!!
That would be a FE or big block Ford. Most likely a 352.. Small blocks weren't installed in 1965 in trucks from the factory. But you're...
The Performer 390 is basically an aluminum version of a stock 4v manifold. The biggest advantage is it's weight - about 50 pounds less than the...
I would agree with you on this truck. I don't think it's a 1962 either.. A '62 would have been a unibody truck!
If I remember correctly, one of the classic Mustang parts suppliers used to have parts for the Mustang pedal cars as well. Darned if I could tell...
It could be the stock Dana 44. I took mine out of my '53 and scrapped it several years ago so I can't compare what you described..
Think you have the decade wrong for "D". It's 70s.. "C" is correct for 1960s and would read C5 for 1965 casting.
Yep, they fit. I'm running 67 Mustang spindles on my '60 Ranchero. Like others said you need the V8 tie rod ends and center link. The center...
That looks good!! What did you do in the rear? A frame step like in the "Bishop / Tardel book" or more?? Not trying to hijack this thread...
Yep, that's the way it was done in the 1970s that I remember. 70 series on the front and 60s on the back. I ran an E70-14 on the front and G60s...
Are you sure the head gaskets were put on correctly? They'll go on more than one way and run hot when put on incorrectly..
Separate names with a comma.
