Changing out the sides is a BIG job, not for the faint of heart. If YOU can't fix the holes, have a bodyman do it. You / he might be able to use peices from your old floor, (just cut a peice with a cutoff wheel, weld it in, and make new holes) If the repairs aren't pretty, just put a bed mat over it. You can also buy a whole bed floor, but they sure aren't cheap. Saw a NOS one at Indy this summer for $600. (67-72) Good luck, Phil ( puting new floor in 64 F-100...now) ________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ From: "Joel Thomas" Subject: Frame Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 18:41:18 -0600 I am looking to buy a 88 f250 frame for my big truck project. it has the full floating HD rear axle stock. it is a diesel with a c6. and 2wd how hard would it be to bolt on my 1984 f150 cab 351W/T-18/NP208 and make the frontend(2wd) to a 4wd i think they are just leaf springs on the front end so couldn't i just put and axle under there then run the driveshaft and make it 4wd are the 2wd frames different than 4wd and also how do i know if this is a strong f250 frame becuase i have been told there are three different f250s a light duty with heavyduty rear springs and more heavier one then the heavydutiest one which would this be??? thanks Joel Thomas Little Rock,AR ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 02:35:50 +0100 (MET) From: Bas van der Veer Subject: Re: 429 engine numbers Op Mon, 14 Feb 2000, George Miller schreef: > I believe the 462 is totally different and prior to the 429/460 385 series. I know production of the 429 started for Ford vehicles in '68 but am not sure about Lincoln's start date. Maybe the wrong owner's manual? Get a head casting number and you can be sure of what it is. Just found out a little more about the 462-460 issue. Ford started mfg of the 460 in '68, but used up their remaining stock of 462s. There were ~7700 continentals built, not sure how many had the 462. But that explains why my manual says 462. But since my engine says 460 on it, I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Besides, my mechanic ordered a 460 crankshaft seal for it and it fit. Thank god! Don't want a motor that's been taken out of production 32 years ago. Question: what is the compression ratio and horsepower rating of those early (68) 460's? My engine says 10 deg btdc timing, can I safely set that and still run pump gas? > There are still a bunch of original 429/460 T-Birds and Lincolns with 11.3:1 C/R running around on pump gas. I'd think that if the timing had been retarded, it wouldn't idle as smoothly as you describe. Sure hope that's the case Whow 11.3:1 should give some awesome power & gas mileage. > The best source for this ID would have been The Ford V-8 Workshop website, but the owner recently took it off the web. Too bad. I should get a good manual to start with. ------------------------------ From: Sleddog Subject: Re: 429 engine numbers Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 21:03:48 -0500 Well, I sure am happy 460 parts are more available around my area.
