Since we are talking about tires, does anyone know what tire size the
1963 F100 (1/2 ton) trucks came with originally. Thanks in advance.

Message-ID:

Thanks to all that helped me with my last questions. Now here is one more.
I have a 1968 F100 Ranger and I would like to take the bed(box) off to get
to my rear wiring,(and a few more things that are wrong back there). How do
I do remove the bed and is it hard to do? Thanks in advance.

3.0L, 4.0L, 2.3 is same as 2.3L, 2.5L Fords 1998 2.3L, 4.6, 5.4, and the
new V-10 which is something like 6.8L, I think there was also a 312
which I think was a flathead motor! There is also to 4.0 the pushrod
model 160 hp and the new overhead cam at 205hp! Both are available in
the explorer so it is probably important to know the difference! Hope
this is helpful, I'm sure there are more but I'm only 21 so I co0uld
never know them all! Chris Kelly

Mark --

Removing the bed of the truck is not that hard, but if you're only going to
fix some wiring, you may be better off leaving it in place.

To remove the bed, disconnect any wiring you need to (to the tail lights,
etc.), then remove the nuts from the bolts that hold the bed down to the
frame. I think there are two at the rear that don't come through to the
top of the bed and then there are probably four or six more that do. Then
comes the tricky part, since you want to support the bed while being able
to drive the truck out from under it. An engine hoist and nylon straps
work well. Otherwise, you can get a bunch of people over and lift it off.

Good luck.

Mike

The 262 I have is for sale. It ran when I pulled it and it does need
rebuilding. The truck it came out of only had around 60K miles so the
crank still may by good. If your interested in the engine for the crank
let me know (I'd like to get rid of the whole thing). Any reasonable
offer will be considered.

Chris

P.S. You can email me at carogers

I was wondering if anyone out there has done anything like lower a 95 =
ranger or similer to this and if so what type of kits are good? Also I =
have no idea of cost involved I am a student and can not afford to do =
this if it outragously priced

Thanks=20

Was it a hot day or did the engine get quite warm? It could have
been vapor lock. Then again, you may have fixed it. Let us know.

I'm currently in the process of making a user survey form for
the web site. It will ask about you make, model, year, engine
type, etc. This will help everyone to know what our membership
consists of.

Hokay.. I have a complete ford truck book that does include pictures,
of ford, and mercury. The name of the book is Illustrated Ford Pickup
Buyer's Guide by Paul G. McLaughlin. copyright 1991This book has
good info, and b/w pictures, I would recomend getting or borrowing it.
They even havea El Detalle (anyone who knows what this is, is a true
ford fan! I will tell you if no one knows. :)
