The seat is about 55" wide and 23" deep. The bolt holes on the floor are about 43 1/2" apart.
^This right here! I picked up a 60 f100 in SC for $1100, thought it was a good deal because it appeared to be in decent shape and running. Until...
Gotcha, figured that after hours of research. Wonder how different the 61+ front corners are? A guy on FTE was going to see if they work, it got...
Where can I find front cab corners? Search ios coming up empty.
53 olds, what size wheels are you running? Also was that front bumper (57/58?) a direct bolt on, or did you have to do any mods? Truck looks great...
Looks pretty level, I always thought when you flipped the rear you got around 6" of drop and would have a "rake" affect if you didn't come close...
Great stance, how far did you drop it?
After researching some more I have confirmed my carb has the needle and not the check ball and weight. See reassembly step 3 not 1. I also found...
Definitely has a needle, the housing for the needle is cone shaped as well, this is where I was getting confused. Did not look like a check ball...
I figured the the fuel overflow was a float issue, maybe it was stuck after the rebuild. I adjusted it and it seems fine now. I was just confused...
Yeah there was a small one for the accelerating pump needle and a large one for in the diaphragm assembly housing. I just never seen one come out...
Here is what the shop manual shows, it is different from holleys page. No check ball in mine. I will have to pull the bowl off and look at the...
No, I sure didn't.
I have a holley 2300 2 bbl that I just rebuilt. When I was putting it back together I noticed the rebuild kit had an accelerator pump discharge...
You get it out? Pretty cool man!
Going to work on it this weekend, I'll let ya know if I get it running.
Yeah, my thoughts as well or the old man never drove it long distances on the farm. They will get gunked up like this as well if you never get...
Pulled the valve covers today and they were pretty gunked up. Two pushrods had fallen down into the intake valley. I had turned the engine over a...
Thanks, that's about where I want to be. I wonder if you could make up for the slight rake by taking one leaf out the back as well? Not sure if...
That would work for what I want. Do you have any pics of your truck lowered. Was it about 3 inches front and back afterward? Also is the 3 inch...
If you were only wanting to drop your truck 3-4" without affecting ride, how would you do it? I have been reading for days of diff. setups. Seems...
Why is it so hard to find new parts for these years? Hell they make everything under the sun for the pre 57 trucks. Guess maybe that's why they...
Started going through the truck a bit. Looks like the bed is pretty toast, he had diamond plate welded in. (old farm truck) The right lower cab...
Thanks for the help!
Just picked this 60 up. I'm in the process of gathering all my info on lowering it 3-4" and disc brakes. Found this one for under a 1K. Pretty...
Did you have to fab up your own cross member to support that thing?
Tell me a little bit about the t5 setup? Was there and issues with shifter hitting seats or cross member fitting? What Speedo and clutch pedel...
Wanting to stay manual if I can some how.
What transmission combo are you running? Weighing my options of swapping my 292/3 spd combo. They both need rebuilt so now I'm back to the drawing...
Thanks for all the info, right now im taking notes and coming up with a good game plan. The very first thing will be replacing all bushings and...
