I have an F1 steering box and column that I recently removed from my F1. I intend to use a different (newer) column on my rebuild. If you need...
Thanks guys. I gained alot of useful info here. I'm not sure about the fuel injection. That's just what the guy who owns it told me, and I've...
Ok, I see that 30 people have viewed my post here, but nobody has commented either positively nor negatively about this idea. Surely someone has...
I'm redoing a 48 Ford F1 Pickup, and I have a chance to buy an 84 Ford Crown Victoria for a good price. It's a 302 and automatic. I'm thinking I...
OldBeet is right about the front wheels sitting too far back in the wheelwells. I never understood why Ford did that, but it sure looks goofy to...
Rained most of the weekend here, but managed to remove one running board from my F1 truck.
http://www.geocities.com/lakota_circle_dancer/swap1 Check out that post. Shows dimensions on a F1. Not sure if it's exactly what you need, but...
I appreciate the feedback. It's kinda cool to know there are others out there who are interested in the Ford F1 trucks, too. I'd really like to...
I wasn't aware that they put a 337 in these trucks, but you may be right. All literature I've found just shows a 239 cu in 100 hp engine as...
I bought this slightly rusted '48 Ford F1 here in Central Texas, and hauled it home yesterday. No tranny or engine, but overall alot of pretty...
I appreciate all the info guys. Frame/clip pictures of your '51 would be appreciated if you have them or have the time to take some. (This may...
I have a 49 Ford truck that I'm thinking on installing a Camaro front clip into. I know there are some real experts at this on here (special...
This info is just what I was looking for. Looks like you can't buy a compressor that's too big, just too big for your budget. And the tip on...
I have a small compressor, but it obviously doesn't have the output to do some of the things in the garage that I plan to do. I've been looking...
Glad you took a look at it again. I hated to be the skeptic here, but even with Photoshop sometimes the angle of the photo can produce a...
I like the roadster idea, too. But are you sure your pic is to scale? I'd think cab you have will actually be taller than shown, even when the...
Sounds like the first step in the project will be for you to decide what era/type car you prefer. If you're like most here, you're going to spend...
Just in case anyone is interested... found this posted on Craigslist. http://dallas.craigslist.org/pts/244044110.html
Have you measured the tracking on your truck or the tracking on the S10? I have a 49 Ford truck and it tracks 60" wide (measured center to center...
Those are definitely 'fencing pliers'. My Grandad introduced me to a pair of those at a very early age, as he pointed to a long stretch of fence...
Bell County Expo Center is about an hour from Austin. I've never been to this meet, so I can't tell you how big it will be. The Expo Center is...
A few days ago there was a posting about hotrodding a Ford 6 cylinder 144 engine. A few guys seemed to be pretty familiar with the 144, 170 and...
My dad always called the accelerator a 'foot feed'. He also called the trunk of the car the 'turtle shell'. Here's something to think about....
Will the REAL Jay Leno please stand up?
I do like the truck box. I'm always looking for ideas, and something with a little 'different' look to it. I think it looked sharp with the Cragars.
My plan is to check this out next Saturday. Anyone else going?
Welcome Joe
Maybe this is why it seems only women's letters to Abby are printed.... Dear Abby, I've never written to you before, but I really need your...
Once I get it down to bare metal, I know I need to apply a primer or something to prevent rust. What's best for this next step?
Well as I said before, I really want to do ALL this myself. I guess I'm just that hard-headed (or maybe I'm just stupid). Are the strippers...
