Update for those who are following. I traded the Ranchero off for another project. I'll be posting on it soon.
A little update. Front frame rails have been cleaned and painted. Suspension has been rebuilt. Steering has been rebuilt. Picked up some Aerostar...
A little spendy when you buy them in a set. But acquiring one wheel here, one wheel there, makes the price come down considerably. I have two red,...

I will take some pictures of the engine when I get home today. It has a 4bbl manifold on it if I remember correctly.

I'd like a 390 as I have some factory machined heads with adjustable rockers on the shelf. Head casting is "EDC 6090E". However, the 289 is what I...
This T10 is available to me. I'm having a hard time with the tag number. I see 4A3-N-1(or I). The case still shows in yellow paint "C4AR" which I...
Anyone running a sbf with a T-10 in their Ranchero? Mine is a 57. I can find tons of info on bbf with top loaders. If any folks are indeed...
I just went through your build thread. That is awesome. I'm going to borrow your idea of making the rear floor behind the seats flat.
I like the simplicity of that tilt setup. Sent from my SM-G950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Not sure if I'm going to run the front bumper. But that's good insight to know as I have aerostar coils that I'll be using. Sent from my...

Correct, no power steering. Sent from my SM-G950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Just to make sure that I am understanding correctly. Are you saying that I should un-rivit those upper a-arm brackets and move them closer to the...
Sorry folks as not much is happening quickly. I've been busy working on my better halfs 49 Chevrolet 3600. However this is where I currently sit...
That's awesome! Sent from my SM-G950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Sorry I missed you and I hope you enjoyed the ride through the great scenery here. Sent from my SM-G950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thank you for looking into this for me.
I dig the daisy wheels as that is what I want for my Ranchero. However not often you see them on Fords.
I had a paper route and on that route was a 1956 Ford f100 truck in a one car garage. No garage door and the truck took up the entire space. I'd...
Ran a break line down #1 cylinder and cycled the engine by hand. Using the valve cover lip a my point of reference, I made two marks on the brake...
I don't fully know. I can say that it has been in Albuquerque since 1981. That's the date of registration on the title.
That's awesome. My car has bad quarters as well. However it came with new/used quarters and tubs. I'm not a body man and I'll be saving the body...
Feel free to post up. I'm all for seeing others rides. I still do not have a clear direction that I am going in. However I did buy a few 1/25th...
I want to check the stroke tonight. If my reading and understanding is correct, 332 has a stroke of 3.30" and 352 has a 3.50" stroke. I'll share...
Crazy Steve, this is what under the valve cover looks like. The oil squirter (?) is a new one on me.[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] Sent from my...
It's beyond tired and coming for now. However it may go back as I am still trying to identify completely. Head casting# EDC 6090E. Intake numbers...
