Subject: Transfer Cases Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 20:04:05 -0700 My brother just bought a 77 f250 highboy. It has an auto transmission and an NP 203 transfer case. It also has those big (spicer?) locking hubs which aren't much use because he has to keep them in all the time. Does anyone know what all has to be done to swap in a NP 205 transfer case? Different drive shafts etc. Thanks, Tom. ------------------------------ From: Aeroape82 aol.com

Subject: Re: When to give up on a project. Hey there Eric. Glad you didn't give up. Couple of things. I think I have the tranny hump you need. I will check the shelves when I get home. I have a 19 gallon rear gas tank that was bought new about 3-4 years ago and was removed about 6 months ago to put in a 33 gallon Bronco tank. . I also have the rear straps for the 19 gallon tank. Ask around your area, you may find a "back yard bodyman" that was willing to weld in the pans. I just did mine and the pans took mw about 4 hours to weld in once the area was preped. You must remove all signs of rust or it will return quickly. All seams must be sealed (both sides) once the seams are welded. Good Luck 54 F-100 76 F-350 Crew cab 77 F-250 Supercab 79 Bronco.

Subject: the end of bad brakes Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2001 07:12:10 -0600 Well...we were all right and we were all wrong. Woohoo, I now have brakes that will put you through the windshield if you aren't careful. The more I thought about it and the more we discussed it, I kept coming back to a balooning hose on the rear brakes. We all made the same assumption: That I put the rear brakes back together correctly. Not. It seems that in my blindness, I didn't engage the adjuster correctly into the rear shoe on the right side. When I pulled the right rear drum, the end fell off of the adjuster onto the driveway. It takes a lot of hydraulic fluid to engage the brakes under these circumstances and another clue was the emergency brake didn't hold like it should with new rear shoes. The brakes would work if you pumped them, just like a balooning hose. I put it all back together correctly this time, then adjusted the shoes out for the correct clearance. I double checked the left side and adjusted those shoes out to the correct clearance. Well, duh!! The emergency brake works correctly, the service brakes works correctly, panic stops lock all four wheels like it should. No, I don't regret replacing any of the parts, especially the proportioning valve. As someome said, it is well worth it to save the grille shell, grille, headlights, hood, front fenders, radiator support....I think I just did this on one car recently. Thanks to everyone who helped. It is wonderful to have a group you can trust to talk things through. -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)

Subject: Re: brakes John, >plus I have been waiting for some enlightenment from the >list... I don't know if this counts as enlightenment, but I had a dickens of a time bleeding the brakes on a '73 once (front disk I guess was standard from '73 on). What I ended up doing was getting a "one man bleeder kit" from the auto parts store. It consisted of a metal ball check valve and a piece of clear tubing. I also bought 2 quarts of brake fluid. I hooked up the one man bleeder, opened up a wheel cylinder, and just wailed on it. I kept topping up the MC. I know I pushed more than a quart of fluid through the sytem. It sounds like an act of despiration (it was), but it worked. It is the "high velocity" brake bleeding theory in action.

Subject: Re: brakes Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2001 09:06:47 -0800 You bring up a good point Doss. ("Just wailed on it") Air bubbles will stick to the sides of the components sometimes to the extent that you can't get them out unless you do have some type of pressure bleeding method which allows for quick jabs to the system to shock it. This is apparently true of the MC especially but they can collect at line junctions as well as in the Proportioning valve and even wheel cylinders. I always consider gravity bleeding an emergency/initial method to get most of the air out so the brakes will operate. Most systems will still require some kind of "Kick" to get it all out. When I bench bleed I use alternate short, quick jabs and long slow full pushes for this reason. When doing a two man bleed you should do the same thing to make sure all the bubbles are out. With manual brakes you can tell if there is even one bubble in the system because they come up very hard with minimal pedal travel but with power brakes it is nearly impossible to tell so you just have to try all the tricks if they don't seem right to you. Escort brakes are the mushyest brakes I've ever worked on and if I have good brakes when I'm done regardless of where the pedal goes I'm pretty happy but my trucks all seem to have about the same feel when they are right. -- Happily Retired (but broke) Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- > on).

Subject: Re: Fuel Guage Troubles Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2001 09:19:07 -0800 If you don't have a good body/frame ground you better check your body bolts :-) Granted, on rusty trucks it's possible for these 10 or so locations to get corroded to the point that none of them will give a good connection but if all bolts are intact and tight you should have a good connection somewhere without using a strap. OTOH, straps are always good insurance so don't put it off if you really think it's the problem. It will, at the very least, eliminate any possibility of trouble later :-) BTW, you absolutely do need a body strap along with an engine strap at the very least. I've heard about the horn thing before but never had the problem myself....makes sense though, especially in this modern world of plastic bearings which insulate everything. -- Happily Retired (but broke) Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- > Good call, Don, your idea is now the frontrunner in my plan of attack. > Didn't pick up on the fact that the heavy ground strap at the back of the > motor is going only to the cab, which rides on rubber cushions > mostly.

Subject: Re: Floor pan replacement Steve, I would greatly appreciate you checking on that tranny cover. Also I'll have to look a bit more closely at the rear frame to make sure I can mount up a rear tank. I think I found a friend of mine who can do the welding on the floor pans for me. I'm hoping to have it ready to go by Saturday for him to weld up. I've got a couple of additional body repair questions.... 1. What guage steel should I use for the repairs to the pass. side floor pans since I'm not replacing the entire pan. I'm hoping I can just buy it at Home Depot later today. 2. What type of seam should I plan for in the panels. Should the metal overlap (if so by how much) or should I try to get it to but together? I'm not looking for originallity in this truck just functionality. 3. I read somewhere that in order to seal the seams I should use "flexible body seam caulk". Is this something I should be able to find at a local parts store? If I overlap then I'll have to seal both top and bottom correct? 4. I was thinking of using POR-15 to finish off some of the surface rusted areas. Is that still a good idea? BTW I'm hoping to get some pics of the body panels we spoke about last month in the near future. Just depends how long it takes me to prep the floor pans.

C-6 / NP205 combo is pretty common. It should be pretty easy to find one of those in the yards. Of course now you have to either mod your cross member, or start THAT search all over again. But, like I said, it is a common setup, so should be easier to find than the one for your C-6 / NP203. The NP205 you now have is a divorced case..right?? If so, did you check to see about fitment to a adapter for a direct attachment to the trans adapter? Or is that still a question? Erik Marquez bronco78 alaska.com

That's definitely a possibility for now if I can't find a good one. I was just looking for one with a better fit than what I could cobble together around here....

Actually I'm talking about replacing the booster on the '79 F-350 with one from a '79 Bronco I stripped. From what you're saying they should bolt right up then correct? I'll have to see if I can find it and compare the lengths of the rod out the back of the booster.

The strange part is the current side tank is fine it just needs a new carrier/cradle. The tank itself doesn't even appear to have any surface rust on it...

Not really, as long as you've got cats when they're called for they're fine but the '79 F-350 is a Heavy Duty truck and therefore doesn't need cats. Thanks again for the help/advice on my projects.

I mean if the tank has been formed with ribs to accept straps, I dont see how any shop could say it needs a cradle. In case you havent seen how those straps work, one side hooks to a braket on the frame, and the other side of the strap is held up to another braket with a bolt. That end of the strap doesnt reach all the way around, so you can make it plentty tight with the bolt. Somewhat like a turn buckle. Also depending on the vehicle, sometimes rubber is laid between the tank and the straps. Im sure someone out here can get a detailed pic of how it all is supposed to look for you. Sounds a lot easier than moving tanks around. Darrell & Tweety ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 03 Jan 2001 09:59:56 -0800 From: "Kenneth Whitman" <KennyW brightwood.com>

You're right about the flywheel bolting up from the 300 six, but keep in mind that the 6 cylinder unit is a zero balance, while the 351 requires a 28 oz flywheel. (Later units are 50oz) Unless you balance the whole engine, you're going to have some serious problems with vibration.

Here in the SW we prefer controlled sand blasting if its surface rust (which is pretty much all we have to contend with). Bill 65F100 ------------------------------ From: Aeroape82 aol.com
