My truck originally had the 28's, but when I got a new rear end, I had to find some 31 spline axles. Bill Jeffreys ------------------------------ From: Oldtrukman webtv.net (R. Pietsch) Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 01:33:01 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Truckin Mags. Hi all out there in Ford country. I got to cleaning out my book case and have several yeas accumulation of old Truckin Magazines I would like to get rid of. They're taking up room that I could use to collect more stuff that I probably won't ever use either. Anyway, I have all years from '84 through '99, all in binders by the year. I would like to sell them complete by the year, or the whole lot. I would rather not break them up by individual magazine. I am only logged on to the Pre61 and the Performance list, so if any of you want to pass this on to any of the other lists I would appreciate it. Any one interested can contact me off list.

With the popularity of the 5.0 Mustang, you've probably heard 3.55's or 3.73's tossed around, much like in the old days "I got 4.11's" used to get tossed around. Normal ratio's you'll hear for the 9" are 2.73, 3.00, 3.25, 3.50, 3.70, 3.90, 4.11, and it keeps going up from there.

Whew, well it was an awesome weekend, didn't start that way, but feels good today. My girlfriend's car lost its tranny on Thurs. night, so I took fri. off to get the power steering hooked up in my truck and go tow her car home. As some of you know I'm swapping from the ram style steering to the 78/9 integrated style of steering on a 74 (drivetrain) 4x4. I finally got everything together and got the truck fired up on Fri. 10am-ish, great right ? Wrong. Wouldn't turn left and seemed to have a leak. Finally got enough fluid in it and it started turning left again, but still leaking. After several calls I found another used box for $75 with a 30 day warranty on it. I ran down to pick that up and discovered a whole new gem ... they have a 78/9 Bronco, complete (before I took the steering box of course) with a tap in the front left. I grabbed the steering wheel off of it too. Also found several other old trucks that I might be able to use a couple of pieces off of. Anyway with a friend helping me, and working out a few more errands and bugs I got it fired up again at 10:00pm and drove it into town. Its much better, still some whine in the pump and needs a cooler line run to keep the heat at bay, but it is much nicer than the old ram style. I've still got some worn ball joints I think, but the truck tracks straight and is reasonably easy to drive. Sat. I managed to run my fastest ever at the go-kart track with my car ... 83.2x seconds in 2 laps. Not bad, the fastest in my class are running 81 and 82, so I've got a little to make up for, but ditching a passenger and playing with tire pressures might just get me there :) Sunday we decided to skip the race and used my truck to haul the Mustang from Des Moines to Ames (45+ miles each way) ... truck ran flawlessly (except for my own stupidity flooding it on starting hot) I drove it all day yesterday and to work today, dunno if I can bring myself to switch the rest of the stuff for a few more months. I'll also get my steering conversion page updated in the next few days to reflect the rest of the work. And Dodge engines aren't completely useless, the shorter filter they require works great for clearing the new power steering box until my remote filter kit comes in today.

(1970) the spacers under back of hoood may indeed be a good idea.. just need to figure how to remount it.. phil ------------------------------ End of perf-list Digest V2000 #101 ********************************** ---------------------------------------------------------- |
