It had a driveshaft drum brake for a parking brake. As long as the wheels were on the ground it locked the transmission and the rear wheels. Lots of Mopars of this approximate vintage had a similar setup. If you find one, it might give some clues about how to fabricate or imitate. I can see all sorts of possibilities with a separate brake for the front and rear or maybe between the transmission and the transfer case. - -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)1979 F150 Custom, Long Wide Bed, Regular Cab, 351M, C6 (Henry) http://www.ford-trucks.com/jlagrone/henry.home.htm Dearborn iron rules!!!! == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Dec 1999 15:36:57 -0600 From: "John LaGrone" Subject: FTE 61-79 - Dexron vs Ford ATF >> Faster (read harder) shifts cause less wear. Smooth shifts mean there is slippage between<< Brad, George, No, not in an auto, not at street speeds. The harshness of the shift in a properly assembled automatic has to do with the clutches all right, but not the bands. Each clutch is an assembly of alternating metal and friction material rings, some notched on the inside, some on the outside. The first metal ring determines the harshness of the shift. A smooth shifting transmission has a first ring made with waves. A harsh shifting transmission will have a flat first ring. There is the same amount of slippage in the clutch either way at street speeds or the slippage is negligible. A harsh shift will slam your other drive train components unnecessarily IMHO. In reverse, all bands and clutches are engaged. In low, all are engaged but one. As you up shift, something releases each time. A band never engages to cause an up shift and generally only causes the low range unit to engage which usually means you are stopped or going very slow. In high gear on a 1:1 automatic, all clutches and bands are released. Racing or performance transmissions are another matter. - -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)1979 F150 Custom, Long Wide Bed, Regular Cab, 351M, C6 (Henry) http://www.ford-trucks.com/jlagrone/henry.home.htm Dearborn iron rules!!!! == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Dec 1999 18:16:41 -0600 From: "John LaGrone" Subject: FTE 61-79 - fuel pump woes I decided on the Carter, Federal-Mogul lifetime warranty fuel pump from O'Reilly Auto Parts (formerly HiLo). It cost $24.95 plus tax. I had no problems with the replacement. I changed the oil and filter, greased the front end and drive shaft, checked the big nut on the differential, replaced all of the rubber fuel line, made sure the fuel line was not running too close to any hot surfaces, tightened the rocker arm covers, vacuumed the inside (well... it seemed like the thing to do at the time). Phew!! I was expecting to crank and crank to get fuel back to the carb. Turned the key and it fired right up. My oil pressure is back. The stinking odor was the thinned oil running from the rocker arm cover onto the passenger side of the Y pipe just beyond the manifold. I think that my Havoline 30 wt. and the STP Oil Treatment saved my engine from major damage. Although the oil was thinned, it took forever for the crankcase to drain fully. It had to be the STP retaining its syrupy consistency. I got about 9 quarts of fluid out of the crankcase instead of the usual 5 1/2 to 6. The gasoline had mixed fully with the oil. The experience I had in the mid 70s in an FE with Pennzoil yielded gasoline and oil separated in the crank case. Henry's favorite song, by Texan Willie Nelson: On The Road Again......... Took Henry to town and back awhile ago. It looks like everything is pretty much back to normal.

Olinick" Subject: FTE 61-79 - washer and misc details for 67-71 trucks (and my '87 olds cutlass supreme) Today I went down to the local salvage yard to get a power window switch for my '87 olds. While I was there I picked up some stuff for my '71 f100. I got the parts for my wiper's washer. I found a washer fluid resivour(egad spelling?) and some rubber hoses and sprayers. Well I hooked up the wires to the pump and it works. I just don't know how or if I can connect it to the wiper switch. I plan to just ad a momentary switch so I can spray my cracked windshield at will. There are plenty of wires and splices all over the place I don't know what they were for. I also found an original chrome ring for "cargo" lights. I also saw the chrome bracket for an am/radio. I want to save these things but I know I will never have a use for them. I know someone else will but I can't buy everything I see. If you have a 67-71 you know how the lights, wipers, cig-lighter, have a little chrome ring around them. If you want the little ring which says "cargo" I will mail it to you. I bought it! I always see a few of these trucks at salvage yards. Today I found an air conditioning vent system with fan. I also saw one with a power steering pump. Another had this strange little metal device which mounted under where the carb used to be and was connected to the heater hoses(or radiator). I hate to leave these things behind but I have no use for them. What is that? Is it the thing you have been writing about to heat the intake gasses? One thing I cannot find is a jack. I want an original jack. If I am correct it is supposed to mount on the drivers side fender under the hood. I always see a bracket there but nothing in it. sorry about this ramble but I like going to the local salvage yards(San Antonio, TX) and hate to see good trucks (parts) go to waste. Daniel R. Olinick (dolinick earthlink.net) (dolinickhotmail.com)(dolinick freewwweb.com)p.s. actually I stuck the little chrome "cargo" ring in my pocket.

Olinick (dolinick earthlink.net) (dolinickhotmail.com)> (dolinick freewwweb.com)........ I got tired of looking at the empty bracket on my 69 F250, so I bought a bottleneck jack (with threaded neck for height adjustment) and mounted it on the inside of the drivers fender. The new jack was larger in diameter than the original, so I had to upgrade the mounting bracket to include a longer piece of 1/4" allthread in order to get the wing nut into place .If memory serves correctly the original jack does not have the threaded portion on the neck to allow for height adjustment. Why settle for a 30 year old stock jack that is not "user friendly", when you can buy a new one for about $20 that is?

Im sure others can give you more details. Ive got an intake (non egr) installed on my 400 along woth a Holly 600. I chose it cause my egr setup had been pluged for may thousands of miles and she was still running fine. It made it one less thing to mess with and maintain which Im all for. Now their is an emmisions impact with leaving it off and I think the NOX will be higher. I guess it boils down to this - It's nor absolutly needed to run and run well.

I'd bet in a few years that a lot of people wont know what one of the stock jacks look like! Ive still got mine in my Bronco and it's never been used except to hide the magnetic can opener I carry to open oil cans (now talk about an antique). I use the bottle jack stashed in my emergency kit in the back for the few times I've needed it. Here at the house theirs always the rolling floor jack - 5 pumps and the whole front is off the ground!

Mcleod clutch offers an adapter plate that when used with a Lakewood scattershield bellhousing allows you to use a Tremec TKO 5 speed trans behind the FE engines. I don't know enough about the trans to say weather or not it will hold up to heavy duty usage (towing ,ect..) though. We will be trying this setup in a '66 Galaxy with a very healthy 390 in the near future as the above mentioned customer has already bought most of the parts necessary (including the adapter which I currently have in my possesion... :). There is a specific clutch and disk combination necessary to make this work also, but if I remember right its nothing exotic just an unusual combination of currently available parts. If anyone is interested, most of the part numbers for this setup are at this webpage : http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://gessford.com/cobraparts/fflywhee.htm This is where I got this info as well. Like I said earlier I don't know alot about these transmissions, I believe they were used in some newer applications (maybe someone out there can confirm this) but they are available new as well. Although I'm sure they're not cheap though.

Earl Schieb repainted a few times over 10 years ago, faded and chalked so it looks closer to the original color! 300K on the truck, 200K on the motor. Looks like a new truck, ya gotta be kidding, it looks like it's supposed to look, like an old truck in good shape. Here's a comment on descriptions. I would describe my truck as having been repaired where necessary through the years, no attempt at restoration, but when it got banged, it got fixed, where it bbroke, it got fixed, there are things that need to be fixed, but it;s still driveable, so it gets driven. So while not restored, it retains a condition that I describe and a kept-fixed truck. I only drive it on weekends, due to gas cost, but I use it as it is intended, a vehicle to haul stuff and the kids, at the same time.
