Childers, Jr." Subject: Re: Hood Fit Bill, I can't really help you with your problem, but since we both have '64's, I thought I'd ask you a question or two. I have a '64 F-100 SWB Custom Cab. Mine originally came with a 352 V-8 and automatic. I plan on going back with a 390/C6 Combo., but as you know the '64 was one year away from Twin-I-Beam. I want to get rid of that solid front axle, and I was wondering if you have any advice to give.

The 2 ton bottle jack I tried today at O'Reillys wasn't long enough to do any good in the rear and the cylinder is to narrow and flat to make me feel good about it staying put while the truck is lifted. Does anyone have any suggestions about a securely fitting jack for this truck - one small enough to fit under the seat? If so, where might I find one for purchase?? Thanks in advance.

My cabs are pretty much rusted out, and I can have access to one of those dump-truck cab. Also, does anybody have tried to put a regular cab on a supercab truck? Any things to watch-out for such swaps? It would be really handy for me to have a 10-foot flatbed 4x4. Many thanks!

My 75 Supercab 360 2V auto has developed a problem with idle speed. After it is warmed up I can kick off the fast idle with no problem. Sometimes though it revs back up to fast idle speed while driving requiring that I shove it into neutral and kick it back down(sometimes it takes kicking it down 2 or 3 times to bring it back to idle speed). The truck has been sitting this winter while I brought it up to safety specifications, It is now certified, plated and ready to go. Other than this the carb and motor are functioning very well. Any suggestions? Thanks Greg Chalmers 79 300 C6 75 360 Supercab ------------------------------ From: FORDTRKNUT aol.com Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 23:40:02 EDT Subject: Re: F-150 convertible?? I have seen a 1986 F-150 2wd as a convertible. I asked the owner about the top, and he said that the company was out of business. The place was called Arizona Customs. It was a hard top convertible, and used the existing metal roof. Looks like a neat conversion. He is at the Bloomsburg 4 Wheel & Offroad Jamboree every year that I have attended. The show is in Bloomsburg PA on the second week of July. Try to attend cause it kicks!!! Thanks!!!

Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 23:29:14 -0400 check the rod from the carb that hooks to the throttle linkage.sometimes gas will leak around the rod & after not being run for awhile it will gum up & make the linkage stick a little.use some carb cleaner & a small brush to clean around that area.also check the throttle return spring to make sure it is not wore out or catching on something. -----Original Message----- From: Becky & Greg To: 61-79-list ford-trucks.com <61-79-list ford-trucks.com> Date: Saturday, April 08, 2000 10:42 PM Subject: [61-79-list] 2V 360 Carb Adjustment? >My 75 Supercab 360 2V auto has developed a problem with idle speed. >After it is warmed up I can kick off the fast idle with no problem. >Sometimes though it revs back up to fast idle speed while driving >requiring that I shove it into neutral and kick it back down(sometimes >it takes kicking it down 2 or 3 times to bring it back to idle speed). >The truck has been sitting this winter while I brought it up to safety >specifications, It is now certified, plated and ready to go. >Other than this the carb and motor are functioning very well.

Also the mounting for the brakes is different. Also, if I remember right, the way the inner fenders attach is also different. If you can swap the center hump, Id say it might be possible.
