You would drop one in the radiator and it would just sit there on top, not wanting to drop down in past the neck. So we just squeezed the upper hose and released and it sucked them right in. We were laughing our butts off. This was something his dad had told him to do. We put all six in and it stopped the leak but not for long, he ended up just buying a new radiator.

As Bill Engvall would say "Lisa, where's your sign?" > LOL OK now that everyone knows what a dork I am, lets just keep it > between us OK? *wink* When I first bought my van, it was really abused. The previous owner dropped it off at my apartment. Then I took it out for drive. I got about 2 miles, came to a stop sign, and the shifter would not engage into anything but first gear. I tried wrestling with the linkage, but no luck. I drove home in first gear. It hurt to hear everything working so hard, but I guess I didn't have much choice. Or there was the time that my friend's dad offered to let us drive his '73 Pantera. Whoo! He just threw the keys to my friend Stevie, who is a great guy, but a reckless fool. He drove and I rode shotgun. Stevie opened it up, even on city streets. He spun it around once and also hydroplaned while entering the highway. It was a stressful trip for this passenger. We got back and Dr. Reed asked if by chance we noticed a small red light in the car. Stevie said that he did. Dr. Reed said that was the emergency brake light, and did we actually drive the whole time with the e-brake on? Stevie, the good guy that he is, said, "yes, I believe we did." Did I forget to mention that we had the car up around 100 MPH on the highway? Your brakes should be fine. They might be a bit glazed, but if they still feel like they are stopping the truck OK, that's what matters. If you take things apart, check the bearings. You might have heated the grease out of them. I don't want to think about what damage might have been done to the Pantera. We thanked him for letting us drive it, and he never said anything bad about it. - -don - -- Don in Philadelphia, Internet Director - Keystone Chapter FCA 66 Falcon Deluxe Club Wagon, 61 Falcon Futura, and classic scooters http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://fedora.net/falconaut == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 17:45:40 +0200 (MET DST) From: Bas van der Veer Subject: Re: FTE 61-79 - My new web site. > Ian ... great site!

I guess Robert's not the "Ford Man= " he'd like to be. ;) Calling the Club Wagon a "Falcon" was part of Ford's marketing scheme in the 60s.

CJ (Colorado Jeff) was right when he said Tony's 4V 300 inline 6 sounded like a John Deere tractor laboring for all she is worth. I thought it was more like an "H" model Farmall cranked up but hey, they both sound similar. Man, I have never seen an inline six run as strong! Sounded like a Cessna taking off when spooled up to around 3500 to 4000 rpm. The first thing I got to experience was Tony's very own speed shop in his back yard. Summit Racing headquarters is just around the corner from Tony's house. Pretty neat to see all the fun, shiny toys! We spent the morning and afternoon looking at Tony's baby, Amanda, a 1970 step side F-100 4x4 and his purpose built (Mr. FUN truck!!) 78 4x4 F-150. Then off to a buddy of his where we looked at some more neat Ford 4x4 stuff like Keith's 1972 F-250 4x4 with a closed knuckle military version of a Dana 60 front which was a stock special order axle. We are talking brutally Heavy Duty!!! (BTW-I want it) WOW!! I picked up a few needed parts and then we took a trip through the 4x4 testing facility next to Keith's house to see how well Tony's old 78 performs! Serious hill climbing and 4 wheeling. Too much fun!! I respectfully declined Tony's invite to pilot her thorough the trails. Maybe next trip!!! All in all it was a fun time and I thank you Tony for being so hospitable! If you get a chance to stop by Tony's, I am sure he will give you the big show like he did for me.

They may fit and work for awhile, but how long that 'while' continues is unknown. Modern radials are a lot stronger than the old rims and after awhile the rims wears out and falls apart. Any body have an experience to share? So after some looking, Gennie wheels offers one that is designed to look like the originals. I can get them locally for about $72 each, and through Coker tire, and RallyeTire too. I haven't found a direct line to Gennie. Anyone out there have a direct connection to them? If you have a set of these rims please report on them. They are supposed to be such that the original hubcaps can be fitted too, great since I have all four still. Any photo's? Any sources for the Gennie brand cheaper? Any suggestions on a tire? I'm thinking on a 215 85 16 radial. I want to keep the look as original as possible, and don't want to mess the suspension geometry. Did a '64 F100 originally come with whitewalls? 16's were the original size, and I have three of the original rims, the spare is still painted the original white. I'll keep them around just for yucks and grins. The other two are 7x16. If you want to see what's there now, check out the pictorial at FTE's website.

Could you install an ARB air locker in the differential on the 203 and ge= t that to work somehow ? I would think that would be your best bet ... though automatic hubs combined with a separate switch would do the trick too, only problem is you couldn't stop the front drive shaft, just disabl= e the hubs ... it would act like you wanted, just wouldn't quite be it ...

Econolines - ------------- From the FAQ on the web site: 21. What vehicles are covered? All F-series pickups, E-series vans, Rangers, Broncos, Bronco IIs, Rancheros, Explorers, Expeditions, Falcon UTEs, Econolines, pre-F series pickups and Aerostars. In addition, Mercury and Lincoln trucks and SUVs are allowed. B. Mustangs - ----------- From the FAQ on the web site: Under item 20, What is Definitely Not Allowed? No blatantly off topic posts. Questions about your brother's Tempo belong on Fordnatics, not Ford Truck Enthusiasts. Lastly, flaming someone for being off topic, causes others to flame the flamer and others the flame the second flamer for playing list cop, and then others point out the hypocrisy of the third flamer, etc. If you have a problem with a thread, please inform me or contact the person privately. == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: 24 Jun 99 14:58:38 CDT From: Ford Man Subject: Re: [FTE 61-79 - Ignorant little children] Nobody really cares about your buddy, pal.

Dang thing is in Fl and I'm in NC and need to get it here. I've called some fleet carriers for quotes and will probably go that way, but I know a few of you are on the road a lot with you car trailers and was just wondering if anyone could help me out?
