Subject: truck sale spotter... Saw a 72 F100 Sport/Custom (that's what the badge says, anyway) 2wd behind my township's polling place today. 360, Auto. No price on the sign, but they can't want too much for it. Sheet metal looks decent, though I think the cab mounts may be toast. Not sure, since I didn't know what I was looking at. The cab sits plumb/square still, but looking underneath, there's what I would call a "crossmember" between the frame rails attached to the back of the cab floor, the ends of which (where it should attach to the frame rails) are eaten away to nothing. Is that a fatal problem? The vehicle looks like it's still used as a daily driver, but that doesn't mean much, since we don't have inspections in Athens County. I could go get the phone number, if anyone is madly interested... SE Ohio, BTW. --sean ------------------------------ From: "David Lindenmayer" <davidl tbcnet.com>

Subject: Gas Tanks Date: Wed, 08 Nov 2000 01:12:20 GMT Just a note here about replacing the gas tank. When the rear pumpkin exploded on the Muny Pit and took out the gas tank, among other things - I got a replacment from JCWhitney - DOUBLE the capcity. Can't remember what truck you have - but they have all kinds and styles for all the older Fords. I replaced my 19 gallon unit with thier 39 gallon unit. Was as easy as thier add said and fit right up in the frame like it was stock. They even give you the copper tubing to braze on to make your pick-up tube longer, and a piece of wire for the sending unit. Only bad part about the whole deal - Damn! it hurts the wallet to fill from below quarter/tank. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.hotmail.com.

Subject: Driving in Snow Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2000 18:46:21 -0800 California has a LOT of people head to the hills to ski, that come from the flatlands of never snows. The CHP has a check point on the way up and if you don't have the right tires/chains/4WD as appropriate, you ain't going uphill anymore. At least on the main hiways. Got a moving violation while stopped deciding to chain up. Took my '64 F100 CrewCab up one time when it had the tall 16 inch bias ply tires. Idiot at the checkpoint couldn't tell that I had a 2WD and let me through. No problems. My brother drove an A*stin H*aly that someone had stuffed a V8 into with bald tires, no top, no interior while being a ski bum. He had to lift up the speedo to get an idea of his speed, it was hanging by the cable. Melted a pair of skis on the tranny. I mean NO interior. Had to shovel it out in the morning. I was standing by when he came flying up the snow covered road and slid 180 degrees and stopped perfectly parallel with my vehicle, on purpose. Worst case scenario, over powered, too light, no traction. It ain't what you got, it's what you learn to do with it that counts the most. He eventually restored it. He now has a '66 T-bird.

Turn the engine over by hand mark your stick at TDC and BDC, then measure the difference.

Subject: Re: 300 fan removal Thanks to everyone who offered up suggestions for removing the fan on the 1981 300 engine I'm working on. As some pointed out, it is a thermal clutch fan, but I didn't immediately realize this for two reasons -- I've never owned one, and this one was trashed. It was bent and once I got it off, I realized only a few of the bearings were intact, so it didn't turn at all. It was attached not by individual bolts but instead by one very large counter-threaded bolt in between the fan and the pulley. The snout of the water pump was threaded to accept the bolt. My 12" adjustable wrench *just* fit. I would have never guessed this bolt was counter-threaded either, so I'm glad I was told. Once I got this info, it was easy to remove. I was able to strip the engine down further and clean it. I also painted it today, so things are moving along.

Subject: Re: snow tires Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2000 08:05:43 -0800 I agree with this. Most of the time the tires are actually biting into a hard packed, icy surface, not loose snow. The loose snow "blows" out of the way as you travel and the remainder is packed under the tire into a mass too hard for large cleats to work with 95% of the time unless you are strictly playing off road where there has been no traffic. If you are observant you will have noticed that most snow plow rigs have an AT tread pattern similar to the old Michelins like I had on the pinto. Lots of medium siping with some fine siping but very little large siping and no cleats except on the edges in some cases. I've found that for just flat getting around on the road in the kind of snow we have here in Michigan these tires work the best. When the snow gets so deep and is moist enough that you actually climb up on it then the cleats begin to come into the picture but even then the AT tires will probably do just as well. As was noted before, narrow tires work better in snow than wide ones because they tend to concentrate the weight which forces the tread deeper into the packed surface you are usually running on. If conditions warrant wide tires then they also warrant lockers and serious recovery equipment on board because you will get stuck eventually :-) 33" tires with open diffs will not take you through 4' of drift packed snow......

It's not like most I've seen that have 4 or 5 bolts holding it to the snout of the water pump. It has a ring of small fins in front of the fan itself and has a small flat metal clip on the very end that I removed, and there is a screw that turns but does not come out. I don't have a shop manual that covers the 300 so please help me out.<< What you describe is typical of the clutch type fans... Look on the rear side (towards the waterpump) and see if there aren't 4 small bolts going in the opposite direction of what you would encounter on a standard fan..The clutch and fan come off as a unit. The clip in the middle of the fins is the heatsensitive contraption that causes the clutch to engage/disengage..

Subject: Re: emissions Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2000 10:00:51 -0700 Unfortunately, our inspections require the original emissions equipment to be in place, even if the truck will pass the test without it.
