Interesting question, personally I wouldn't try it because it is an open differential just like your stock differentials (really neat lookin picture in the haynes book if you know what to look for) ... at any rate it should look like the average if you lock the hubs and what not, I think someone mentioned that and it sounds about right, though I'm sure there's formulas to figure it out exactly ... Someone else mentioned it would be fine until your xfer case flew apart, I think this is also true, those spider gears aren't designed to spin at high speeds for long periods of time since they are only expected to be really used during turning when there is a difference in speed between the front and rear wheels ... At any rate it would probably work for a short time, but I don't think I would have tried it ...

Just looking for a smooth, low ride to balance off my jacked-up faux 4WD looking Unibody. I can see the two of them, side-by-side in my back yard now... THE problem will be the VIN. Both vehicles are titled and legal (as far as one can tell). I know where the VIN is supposed to be on the truck frame. There is no plate in the glove box door like there should be, though. I'm thinking I might have to license this as a 70 Mercury. Probably work until the first time I get pulled over. The other option is to build it completely street legal, have it inspected and re-titled...I have been worrying about this. I'd hate to get too far into it and find out it is completely outlaw....(or would I?)

Ford Motorsport does sell a very nice rear disk conversion that fits both the 9" and truck 8.8 rear. The part number is: M-2300-G and the list price is $379.95. You can do better on the price by getting it through any of the Motorsport dealers that advertise in the Mustang magazines. This kit includes parking brakes that are actually small drum brakes inside the rotors. Street rod vendors also sell lots of different rear disk brake kits for the 9" rear end.

Here in Nevada so long as one of the vehicles you used had a clear title your ok. A guy I knew in Reno put a 67 Bug on top of a mid 80's Toyota 4x4. It was titled as a 67 bug, because insurance is cheaper, and there is no smog regulations on a 67. Really an interesting thing to see driving down the road.

And Darrel, Tweety's Dad added: > yup, Lincoln Versailes or however you spell it does. Yup. We've got a Versailles rear end in our '70 F250 C/S. Of course, it's no longer rated at 3/4 ton. It's just a hot rod now. Surprisingly enough, when we went out to get it a couple of years ago, we found two quite quickly here in So Cal. The wreckers know what they've got and send none of them to the crusher. Could have picked them both up for $250 apiece, complete with brake cables. In hindsight, probably should have. It would have been nice to put into the '56, but the money went for the Volare front end instead. That IS going into the "Big Window". I think that's money well spent, as it's a good (even if it's not a Fomoco) way of getting power steering and disk brakes into your "Go Faster". - -Marv- == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Feb 1999 12:21:15 -0500 (EST) From: jdklaers mailhost.magicnet.net (PredFan) Subject: FTE 61-79 - Gutters In the gutters around the top of the cab and doors, there is a caulking-like substance.

I used 3-M tan body caulk. The old caulk came out easily (it was petrified), I then masked the outer rain gutter with duct tape and also masked the roof adjacent to the gutter with duct tape. I then scraped out the old caulk with a sharpened screwdriver, then wire brushed the bare metal. I removed the duct tape and re-taped with masking tape, primed the metal and painted it with some Krylon off white spray paint (matched the original wimbledon white perfectly!). Came out very nice and the cab no longer leaks during rainstorms. (Of course, your mileage may vary!)

Pull into town at the stoplight, warms a touch, goes back to normal ... nothing outof the ordinary ... drive another mile in town and it suddenly does an end run for the hot side ... stops about half way up, sits ... then continues its run all the way to hot ... sits there for a couple seconds (up to 10 or 15), then drops almost as quickly as it went up back to the normal spot.... come up to another stoplight ... sit at the light for a while ... everything is fine (normal), as soon as I step on the gas the gauge starts to go up, then waits, then runs to the end, sits and comes back ... Anyone have any ideas ? Here were/are mine : 1) thermostat - replaced w/180 that works, no change 2) water pump - replaced with known good one, no change 3) radiator (old one leaky and smallish) - replaced with new one (over sized for this motor) no change.

If the tranny is in it's 1:1 gear, what is the gear ratio that the engine would "see" on a level straight paved road? Yes, but why on earth would you want something you could not lock the two diff's together for??? If you lock them together, you will stay there or break something or both. Add the two ratios together and divide by two - Lets see 4.56 + 3.5 = 8.06/2 = 4.03 effective final drive. I think this is correct.

It's when you get to the bed that you will have trouble. The frame on the 77 gets wider in the back and I believe that the wheel base also gets longer. If the 77 has the flairside bed you could get away with it really easy. There are lots of little things you can do to make it work.

Actually, I have a very good suggestion as to why, and me having a 203 laying around has really got me thinking- A lot of truck pullers (ie- remember Sleddog) like to run mismatched differentials so that the front axle will pull harder than the rear. In otherwords, running a taller ratio in the front and shorter in the back. I pondered this idea when I welded my front diff into one big slab of toxic truck mung. True, I still couldn't justify running it on the road, but the pulling performance increase and improved handling characteristics in the mud would be a considerable improvement from what I have seen. My '70 F-100 4x4 (with single speed transfer, not fulltime) has a *factory* mismatch of a 4.09 trac lock in the rear and a 3.50 in the front! 8-) It was bought to drive in the mountains of Montana!
