I'm sure there are long, complicated ways to handle rust. My own
experience is that if you ever decide to use a rust converter (not remover
- converter) the ONE that really works the best is liquid Extend. I've
rescued many metal objects using Extend as the base coat (followed by
primer and paint) and Extend works better than anything. It can be sanded
wet or dry with silicon carbide. I haven't tried to put a show coat of
paint on after it though, you'll have to ask someone with more experience
in that area if that's where the redo is going.

I feel lucky to have found this list and have a great feel for the job Ken
has done already. From just the few letters I have read to this point I am
impressed. The integrity that Ken shows by not selling out is rare if not
downright exclusive. I am proud to have joined you all. Any decision that the
Senior membership decides on this issue of " payment " is welcomed by me.
I would like to add that if we did pay a membership...one thing we could
have is a member directory of sorts.....to display our individual expertise
areas and expierience.
Thanks to Ken .....and here's to us......Ford Truck friends.......

On the right side of the clyinder block near the front is a casting #.
What is it? Also there is a date code on the block. Look between the
sparkplugs in the center of the head for a casting#. I can narrow the size
down with these #s. On the front of the manifold left front under the coil
there may or may not be a metal tag. This is the engine ID tag. It will
tell you the yr size and carb model. Good luck.

We purchased a 1977 F-150 Ranger about 2 mos ago and have wondered about
some of the other components on the truck. We know the engine is a 351M
and the tranny is a C6. Does anyone know how to identify the transfer
case and axles(ie Dana 44 etc.). Also, how was the truck originally
equipped?

There's a number on the right side heads between the spark plugs. This
can be decoded. Problem is that they may not be original heads - probably
are as they last forever. Also, there may be an id tag under the coil.
Since the block itself doesn't have casting number its easy to fool
people but I doubt anyone is going to replace the heads to do this - unless
of course it was to fool a concourse judge.

Not that I know of - at least not in 67.

I just want to clarify one thing - I feel very strong about not *requiring*
payment for the list. Voluntary payment would be up to the membership.
There are alot of broke college students (and others) who really could save
time and money by the advice they receive here - but some of them may not
be able to afford to pay. How much of our membership would we lose? I'm
willing to bet over half.

Alot of people hang around for a month, ask a few questions, answer a few
questions, lose interest and leave. But these people do contribute greatly
to the content of the postings. I doubt they would have hung around at all
if payment was required. Nick Finney comes to mind (unless he's rejoined -
hard to tell with 475+ members), I haven't seen him around but he gave
some incredibly good advice last month - had me going back to double check
what I've learned on occasion.

Also, how many times have you found a cool web page or other item on the
internet and then you saw a price tag - were you disappointed?

Just some thoughts.....

Try contacting some of the suppliers on the web page. Obsolete Ford and
Caralonia Classics are very good. They can probably get you new corrugated
steel to get welded/rivited in place of (or on top of) the old.

Give me the complete numbers from the dash plate and door plate. I'll
decode them for you.
