Re: Ford Colors ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "glperry" Subject: Re: Wiring, again Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2000 03:37:09 -0500 Chris, most of the older Shop Manuals all have wiring diagrams listed in backs by body electrical or specs sections. You should have a manual if you don't, get one. I have rewired by removing all the harness from the vehicle (one piece usually) and carefully cutting open the original cover and lay out on big table. Remove one wire at a time, measure, copy to new vinyl wires of similar color or make your own colors up, and put new terminals on ends. Lay new wire back where old one was and take another out and do same until all wires are new. Then you can rewrap with tape or just wire ties and re-insert into truck. Worked on my 49, but not much wire in the old harnesses. Lots of times the wiring is same color and layout for several years. -----Original Message----- From: Chris/Jennifer Chambers To: fordtrucks Date: Friday, June 23, 2000 8:59 PM Subject: [pre61-list] Wiring, again >Help again please.

Does anyone know if an additional crossmember was used to support the longer O/D tranny? Seems like a lot of weight to hang on the trans bolts. Roger 55 F100 ------------------------------ From: Oldtrukman webtv.net (R. Pietsch) Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2000 23:47:57 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Ford 9 inch posi. Hi Dennis. Although I have no personnel experience with the different posi type rear ends, (the plain old one wheel drive rear end works fine for my application) I have a very close friend at work that has had lots of experience in dozens of different vehicles (most all of them Fords) over the last 35+ years or so. He even ran his own all Ford wrecking (oops), "recycling" yard for awhile. Anyway, from the stories that he tells me, the Detroit Locker may not be the best choice for your rig. he says they should be used for straight line drag racing application only. He says that when have a tendency to lock up unexpectedly when coming out of a turn. Not a problem under most circumstances, but if you like to "play with the power" once in a while, as we all do on occasion, and just might happen to get a little crossed up when that rear end decides to lock back up, then you are going to go in the direction that you are pointing rather than following the path of the asphalt on which you were originally driving on. Any way, based on his experiences, I would cross the Detroit Locker off of my list of choices. Just a little food for thought.

Matt the 48 color is Arabian Green, Wheels: black, Grille: chrome, Grille Recess: Argent Tan. Doug the 59 color is Colonial White. Jeff the 64 color is Academy Blue or Starlight Blue and Wimbledon White. For you guys with 57-60's there is a interesting note in the book, you could get the truck in Primer.
