Subject: Hood locks Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 00:18:32 -0700 Came out tonight after being at the hospital for about an hour, 8:30 to 9:30, opened the door on the '78 F150 W/Overloads and noticed that the dome light wasn't working. Further inspection found the headlights and ignition wern't working either. Oh well says I, must be a poor connection. The guy in the passenger seat commented that someone must have stolen the battery. Yup, there is was, gone. Oh for the opportunity to get medieval on this thiefs butt. The Dream Truck that I'm waiting for good weather to sandblast the frame, springs and all that stuff, has a factory hood lock in the Lariat donor cab. Thought it was a dumb idea till tonight.

I guess there's a reason our local hospital has cameras in the parking lot. Here I was thinking they were trying to catch me parking in the reserved parking. ;] My next door neighbor has 2 pieces of chain bolted to the inside of his hood and radiator frame then padlocks them. It's worked well for him. Later! Deacon deconblu ford-trucks.com

Subject: 4X4 Conversion Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 14:23:25 GMT FTE, I've got a '68 Ford F100 that I bought four years ago. It had 42k miles on it, and the body is in great shape. I would really like to convert it to four wheel drive. However, I'm not sure of the best way to go about doing this. I've been told it is easiest to graft in a solid axle, transfer case, and other parts from a donor truck, but I've also considered finding a '67-'72 four wheel drive truck and swapping the frame to mine. Is there a best route? I'm in the Navy, so I don't get a whole lot of time to work on it. I've sent in questions before to the group, and I've always been amazed by the depth of knowledge ya'll have regarding Ford trucks. Thanks for your help.

It is worth saving and can be saved.. Penetrating oils and patience may save most of the pistons. If after several days of this and you aren't willing to wait longer, try a little heat on each piston with a torch - not much heat, but enough to break them loose. Be careful and I'll bet you can do it.. Good luck, Azie Magnusson Ardmore, Al. ------------------------------ From: "Azie L. Magnusson" <maggie11 HiWAAY.net>

Never had one in the cab, but I've had several wires de-insulated under the hood by the little rodents. Can be very costly to replace wiring..

It doesn't mean that the whole book is loaded with bad information. Get over it already. If you want to prove that the "M" means... whatever, go do some real research and find the information to back up your facts. Quit trying to disspell everyone elses information.

Folks, All this talk about beating out pistons inspired me to tear into a motor today. Due to the local drought, the lake has dropped 40 feet and the marina is cleaning out the cove. My neighbor was 'fishing' with his F-450 (FTE content). The routine was dive down, hook onto something stout, and drag it up onto shore (great fun!) Amongst the 'prizes' was a sunk/rotted (beyond saving) wood Chris-Craft. Well, to make a long story short, this V8 had been laying on the bottom of the lake for at least 10 years and it was not stuck! The cylinders with open valves have some pitting (honeable), but a couple were completely dry. Being a boat motor, it was low hours and had hardly any cylinder wear. I would be tempted to just do a rings/bearings/gaskets/valve job and call it good to go. Just another testimonial to "You don't know until you tear it down".

Subject: Re: Bronco II Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 23:52:37 AKDT Azie, I agree with Stu, the 2.9L engine has some major issues with cracking heads. My dad has one of these engines in his truck, and after blowing a head gasket we found a cracked head. To fix the problem for good, we purchased a new set of World Castings heads (http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.worldcastings.com/stockreplace.html) from Dover Heads (http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.doverheads.com). The World Castings heads are much thicker and eliminate the problem. If I remember correctly they where $225 each for complete heads. Other than the head issue I would say that it isn't a bad little engine. It's not a V8, but it isn't gutless either. So that you know, it is EFI and it has an air horn kinda like a 302 with an upper and lower intake manifold. Also, I wouldn't swap a 351 unless you upgrade almost the entire drive train. One other thing to keep in mind is that a 351W is going to be a bit heaver then the stock 2.9L. schu >From: Stu Varner <nukegm ford-trucks.com>
