Your little 70 looks just like ours! Ours is a burgundy color though, and it doesn't have a tail gate yet. The wood in the bed was all rotted out. We just got it replaced. The metal strips that goes between the slates were gone too. We still have to get those....We need a grill for it too. We've found one for 50.00 so that's next on the list. It has a granny 4 speed in it. That's about the only thing that I don't like about it. If I don't drive it like I'm mad at it, it won't hardly go into gear sometimes. It's aggravating. I'd a lot rather have a good 3 speed.

That should tell you something. > Nobody wants to sell thier Ford. plenty o' fords for sale, but I was looking for: below ~$3000, no major engine work needed right away, and a/c. I found one truck (for $4000--I'm flexible) that meets that: a chevy 1500 (or something like that). lots of trucks for sale here (of all brands) but most are newish, or are the $15000 trailer queen restos. there's an f150 I saw just today, but it's ~$6500 (a '91, I think). I just need something cheap and driveable, and I needed it last month. the '67 $500 f100 wasn't even worth the gas to haul it away--more rust than truck. a real shame, 'cause that's the exact truck I wanted... there's also a _way_ overpriced 351c-powered '60-something. wants $7500. I'd think closer to $2500, it looks pretty foul all around. > >>>>>anyhow, anybody know of a _chevy_ trucks list to get help on these things? > > Take your time,find a real truck and stay on this list.

I just acquired a nice '79 f-250 supercab 2wd and a '78 f-250 supercab 4wd (beater). My goal is obvious: I must have the '79 in 4wd trim eventually. The '79 has 460/c-6 PS, PB, A/C, etc., while the '78 4X4 has 400/c-6/NP203(yuk!),PS,PB,etc.. I'd like to use the 460 in the finished product. It seems like Gary or someone on the list has done this body/frame swap before. What will be my biggest headache here? I seem to recall that the 460 bolts to the 400 bellhousing w/ no problem but are the flexplates and/or converters the same? Will the steering column from the 2wd work with the 4wd linkage? It looks like it'll swap over pretty easy but then so have many things in the past that turned out to be major messes. All input will be greatly appreciated. Now, does anyone here in the Anchorage area want a beat-up but free bed and cab,doors, fenders, etc. from a '78? The catch is that you have to take it all :^> It's going to the crusher at the end of June. E-mail me off-list if interested.

The F150 changed bolt patterns when it was redesigned in '97, but the E150 did not. Don't know if the '00 E150 wheels will fit or not. I suspect they're 7". Stock tire is probably a 235/75/15. -----Original Message----- From: Brett L Habben [mailto:bhabben juno.com]Sent: Friday, June 09, 2000 5:54 PM To: 61-79-list ford-trucks.comSubject: [61-79-list] E150 steel rims Folks, Today crawling in traffic I looked over into the next lane and noticed something I hadn't before. This 90's E150 commercial van had the normal dog dish hub caps, but the Ford steel wheels were different. They have oval or rectangular ventilation holes cut all around the rim; 10-20 of them. Always vigilant for cool steelies for the hubcap/trim ring look, I wonder if these would fit my '75? Anybody know? What width would these be?

The answer everyone gives is that you should always degree a cam, this will double check that it has been ground right, put in the correct box and is correct for your application ... I didn't degree mine though, and Dad didn't degree his when he put it in either and they worked fine for us.

Since he runs a machine shop I'm not sure this is really a deterrant for him. I don't remember if he's got a manual or an auto, but there's a flywheel on the motor with some adapter bolted to it to connect it to the pumps. I'm curious as to why an FT application clutch wouldn't solve the problem of it mating up, or would that have such a big ring gear that it wouldn't fit in the bellhousing ? > and have the crank snout turned down to match an FE. He's got the balancer for the motor, they just unbolted it from a corn picker and pulled it out, everything's there it looks like. > Almost all FT's >had a larger oil pump drive shaft, along with matching sized distributors >and oil pumps.

So even the distributor on the inside has a bigger diameter shaft, so swapping the "guts" from a duraspark unit wouldn't convert it over ? >By the way, has he measured the bore and stroke of this industrial FE/FT/? >yet?

That is all a 390 will have for a bore ... 4.05x3.7x for a 390 and 4.05x3.5x for a 360 ... off the top of my head anyway.... > It had FT heads on it >with dished pistons for a compression ratio of just a bit over 8 to 1. Isn't this typical of all 72 or so and later FE motor's ? I know my 390 when I pulled it apart had huge dishes in the pistons and were labelled as 410 pistons. He's putting this in an F350 with a GVW of 12,000 lbs ... so I don't think using FT heads and such to up that low end grunt will really hurt him any ...

I would say thay a 650 would be about max that would want to use on a 302.Usually the Edelbrock kits are a matched set so they work great together. -----Original Message----- From: mike liltoot.com To: 61-79-list ford-trucks.com <61-79-listford-trucks.com>Date: Monday, June 12, 2000 10:31 AM Subject: [61-79-list] Carb Size >I'm following the thread on the carb and am a little confused by the formula >to determine carb size.
