Are you using a kit or did you source those springs and fab up the rest? I might could give it a go at fabricating the mounts, but i don't have...
Don't know for sure about the mounting, but those are 59 spears. The center emblem looks right for a 60; 59s had FORD block letters in a big...
That's usually blamed on worn kingpin bushings or tie rod ends, I believe. I bought mine with a bent tie rod and sloppy pins; it was certainly a...
I don't recall the exact dimensions, but the early C4 (84-87) have different offsets from the later cars. The overall track should be pretty...

Weren't those gauges in the heavy trucks and cab-overs? Seems like you could replicate them with some clever graphics and the restored gauges...
Where do I get a big version of that van cartoon?? Awesome.
I like your taste. :cool: I've got the rear trim rings and some peep mirrors on mine since this photo. [IMG]
Mine isn't terribly clever, but I've been stealing them from all over the place for a little while, including here. In slow, out fast. In...
Judging by the pics found on a thread here: http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/search.php?searchid=3493191 the earlier king pins appear to have a...
Something like this is what I'm planning for my 59F100 T5 install, but I'm going with a mid 80s Ranger m/c. Its cheaper and less obvious...
There's a mighty cool one here: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5976379&postcount=49
Those are aftermarket aluminum GT40s from Ford. I don't think they were ever on a real car....
I used to be a Corvette driver and I'm quite fond of this. Super cool!
Don't forget to take that 130-U form with you and get it signed by the seller/trader. They'll boot you right out of the window at the DMV without...
My 59 has a 302, but you don't really want to look at it. Spray bombed orange-ish in the truck so it dripped down the rusty headers. Erson chrome...
Wait, you mean we're supposed to check stuff occasionally??:confused: What nerve... There are times (mostly on fancy show and magazine cars)...
I'll join the no-gasless-flux-core crowd. When used on thicker material it has a place, but sheetmetal is not that place IMO. Gas + solid wire =...
This might be helpful. I don't know any dimensions other than what's shown here. [IMG] [IMG]
I can't add too much new info that's not on here already, but I do have a concern about folks 'annealling' and 'tempering' things at home. I tend...
I gave $3k for my truck and I'm sitting right at $5450 today. Saved all the receipts from mail order junk (front discs, steering, crossmembers)...
58Custom touched on it, but the Explorer heads can be GT40 (96-mid98) or GT40P (98-end), but neither are aluminum. Don't hang me on those years,...
Four years after my 60 took off, I drug this 59 home Friday. It's a driver except that the steering is too loose for anything over about 40mph....
Chrome spiders and bullet caps, methinks. I like Hellbilly's post above yours too. Flake roof is groovy.
I've not fiddled with a GM setup so my apologies if this is all nonsense, but it might be similar. On the fox prop/combo valve there is a plug...
The accepted method for disc-braking a fox mustang is to "gut" the spring and piston from the stock prop valve and plug the rubber end. This...
The Hot Rod article about the BFD got me to look here. Mostly I lurk, oogle pictures, and think, "man I wish I could fab like that!" Not having a...
It looks like a fox/sn95 mustang setup to me. My BB is 95 mustang, with 93 Cobra MC on a very not-HAMB fox coupe. [IMG] [IMG] Agreed,...
The caliper mounting bracket would probably be the only thing to cause a problem. I know on late mustangs there are a few widths of axle shaft...
