Subject: More D60 Brake Help Ok folks, My parts have started trickling in for the new brakes/bearings I'll need for my D60 rear in my '79 F-350. Now here's my question. I got the new brake drums and they seem to be nothing but drums. By that I mean that they don't include the center section with the wheel studs or the "housing" for the bearings. It seems I have to reuse that center section, whatever its called. How do I separate this section from the old drums? It looks like I have to remove all of the wheel studs since they seem to sandwich the center section to the inside of the brake drum. How do I remove the studs? Can I just put a sacrificial lug nut on the threads and pound it out with the BFH? Can I reuse the studs? Would it be easier to buy a new center section? So many questions and so little time until I need a working truck. TIA for the help. Later, Eric Finn '78 Bronco "The Beast" (Project stalled...)

Subject: rattling doors/ wheatherstripping Just thought of another one for you guys: The doors on my '77 F250 make an incredibly annoying rattling noise, especially at low speeds and of ourse depending on the condition of the road. The wheatherstripping on the driver's side door is missing completely so I suspect that that contributes to the problem but the wheatherstripping on the passenger side door is intact and that door makes the same noise, although it's by far not as loud as the driver's side. What is a good place to buy replacement wheatherstripping and are there any devices like rubber stops or so the will shut the doors up? By the way, the hinges are in great shape and the most of the noise seems to be coming from the locks even though I couldn't find anything to be wrong with them (yet).

Subject: Engine ID, The Final Frontier Greetings, again... Thanks to you all for your level headed input on my so-called 65 F100 engine identification questions. I have come to the conclusion that the truck is a late 65 or early 66, with a 65 grille, 240 cid engine and light duty 3 speed manual on the column. The whole truck is in pretty rough shape, and the engine is very evenly and freshly coated with a layer of its own oil. Perhaps if I had a driveway or the spare cash I would buy the truck and fix up that engine (it seems to call to me when I look at it) but for now, I'm going to walk away from it.

Subject: Re: mig welding Date: Sun, 03 Dec 2000 21:58:12 -0700 When welding sheetmetal you will be much happier not using flux core wire. Use a solid wire with gas. Overall you will be much happier using a gas shielded wire for all welding, as long as the material is relatively clean. Also use a ER-70-6 wire probably .030 for general welding or .023 for sheetmetal .Also it is not necessary to use a blended gas. Regular CO2 with the above wire will do just fine. A 75/25 gas mix is an option but at greater expense.All mig machines will run either flux core wire or gas shielded as long as the machine has a gas solenoid.Some lower cost machines don't have this feature. Check out a Millermatic 185 machine. It will do everything that a enthusiast would ever want to do. It is a 220 volt machine. Also try using a gas shielded flux core wire for all your heavier welding, you will be pleasantly surprised at the results. Yes, these wires are all position, so with some practice out of position is easily accomplished.They are not for sheetmetal though. Hands down Solid wire with a shielding gas is the best for sheetmetal. Richard _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

Turned out it was the wrong one, but they did ship it. Dont ask how much it cost, Im sure it was more than I could scrounge up. If the probs arent bad I go with repair panals, A good weld job can turn even a soso panal into a nice repair. Thats where the magic of a great welder comes in.

Subject: MiG flux-core Date: Sun, 03 Dec 2000 03:23:37 Hi again! Does somebody with welding experience here could shed some light about flux-core wire for MiG welding? I remember about 1 or 2 years ago in a street-rodder magazine that some company had developped some flux-core wire SPECIFICALY for welding sheetmetal. I don't have a MiG welder yet, but that is my next "toy" when money is gonna be thicker in my humble leaking wallet. I'd much prefer to use flux-core instead to have to use argon gaz mixtures, cheaper that way: no argon gaz tanks to pay rent for. I know, you can use flux-core for sheet metal, but I'd like to know witch brand is better for sheetmetal. Many thanks again!

The only Acadian on this list? >> Gerry, I have a Lincoln 110 volt gasless wire-feed welder ( $220 at Home Depot). I
wanted to use the MIG attachment ($89 at Home Depot), for this but buying the gas bottle was expensive in Memphis (best price was over $100). I went ahead and used it on one body panel application. It is a dirty weld. And it used a lot of flux cored wire. It is a lot more expensive than regular wire. I did do my frame welding with a 220 volt stick welder. What is an Acadian?

Check the striker post on the door jamb. There should be a plastic bushing/sleeve around the striker. After time it becomes brittle and cracks and falls off. Then the door latch mechanism is trying to lock on a post that is about 1/4 inch smaller in diameter. I have found these posts in the help section at the local autoparts store. I didn't even notice the plastic sleeves until my drivers side fell off and the door started rattling. Then I compared the passenger door and saw the difference.

I am parting out a '68 F250 Camper Special. I have already sold the engine (the 390 I rebuilt last year), and I am keeping the power steering gear, so don't ask about those. Other choice parts include: recently recovered seat - dark blue, not original fabric, but very pretty flywheel and clutch for 390 - Borg Warner heavy duty, diaphragm spring type NP435 D60 - bad pinion and carrier bearings, usable 3.73 gearset. You'll have to take the whole truck to get it, though.

Since I don't know what state you are in and what they look at for registration and such I can't really tell you but most of the time it really isn't a problem. BTW what year rolling chassis is it?

Subject: 4spd in 64 Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 12:11:42 -0500 I have taken an engine from a F600, about 76 vintage and used in an early chassis with the b/house mount and front mount under balancer. This should be the same as 64, the last year for this type mount. The b/house from the 600 had two sets of tranny bolt holes on r/side. A narrow spaced and a wide spaced mount. It fit different trannies. I took the 4-spd from the 56 that I was building and bolted it up to the 600 b'house with no problem. Only diff in trans was the 600 had a BIG pilot bearing shaft. It had same clutch splines as 56. The trans is a T-98 I belive, witch I still have and would sell/give away, and appeared no diff on outside as ones for p/ups. SO, try looking at big trucks in yards with FE or FT type engines to get a b'house that will fit your engine AND have mounting ears. Get ALL the mount pads and bolts, some differences thru years.

Subject: Replacement Floor pans? Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be looking for in terms of replacement floor pans for my '78 Bronco? I've found pans at LMC Truck, Mills Supply, and JCWhitney. Does anyone have any experience with any of these pans(good or bad.) What thickness of metal should I be looking for since it is the floor pan and has to support my (shall we say) "ample" frame. I'm going to have a friend weld it in for me since I've got zero experience with welding or bodywork either for that matter. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Man, this all sounds so good I can't wait to get it done on mine. I was hoping there would be an improvement in the way the system worked beyond just getting rid of the leaky and vulnerable ram assist stuff.

Subject: Re: '65 Engine Identification Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 12:54:18 -0800 I have the Shop manuals for the 65 Ford Trucks and thought you'd want to see what they have to say: F10 = Model = F100 A = Engine Code = 6 cyl 330 CID D = Assembly Plant = Dallas Texas 872504 = Series = August 1966 the 4th digit is the engine code. IF this were a 65 truck, an engine code of "A" would be a 6 cyl 330 engine. BUT because the last 6 digits (the series) is 872504, this is NOT a 65 truck, it is a 66 truck built in August 1966 at Dallas. My 65 F100 is an original owner, and all the codes in the shop manual match my truck right down to the colors, so I trust these manual. I also have the LMC catalogs which do NOT match my truck, but do indicate that the "A" is a 6 cyl 240 engine for the 1966 truck. the rest of the numbers: 129 = Wheel Base Inches WH = 2 tone exterior (65 shop manual show W as Medium Blue but has no "H") F100 is the Model (no duh, right?) B = Interior (Blue Woven Plastic & Blue Vinyl w/foam cushion) 81 = Body Code = Convention Cab C = Transmission code = Unknown - it's not in the 65 shop manual 09 = Axle = 3.70 -3.3M 05000 = Gross Vehicl Weight 129 = Certified Net Horse Power 4000 = RPM's 62 = DSO = Houston Tx Keep in mind, these are all from the 65 Shop Manuals and based on the VIN series, your truck is definately NOT a 65, but a 66, so maybe someone with the 66 shop manuals can help you out. regarding what Darrell & Tweety said: the engine code "J" (for a 65) is a 6 cyl 240 engine. I know this for a fact, because my original owner 1965 F100 is F10JR698945 and everything about it matches the shop manual to a "T" 65 F-100 Sandi birdsm mcpd.navy.mil

Subject: Annual FTE Charity Drive Ford Truck Enthusiasts has had a tradition of holding an fund-raiser each year in support of a worthy cause. This year's cause is especially worthy and hits close to home. During the SEMA show in Las Vegas I had the opportunity to meet with long time FTE member Darrell (aka JumpinFord) and one of our newest members, his friend "Scooter." We had a great time having lunch on Saturday and hanging out after lunch. A few days after the SEMA show, Scooter passed away rather suddenly during an epileptic seizure. Though I didn't know Scooter long, I can say that he was an very nice guy. He was also very funny and had a lot of talent (he was an actor who's been on several shows/movies). A photo of Scooter can be found on the FTE web site at: http://www.ford-trucks.com/sema/sema1/html/image041.htm Scooter (Lee Stephan) was a young man and was survived by his wife and two children, ages 3 and 5.
