The builder welded the spring hangers directly under the frame, and staggered the rear shocks. This is all real nice, except for one thing: the panel has too much side to side sway, and I need a sway bar. The problem is that I bought a regular rear sway (No Limit) bar and it doesn't work in any of the 4 possible locations (up, down, fwd, rear) due to the spring and/or shock interference. (If the stock springs were used, they would be farther out from the frame, allowing the sway bar to be in its normal location, just outside of the frame, between the springs and frame). Does anyone know of a company who might have a rear sway bar that might end up inside the frame (since the springs are in the way otherwise)? Wouldn't a pro street car have this problem too? Should I look that way? Any help appreciated. PS: I know I can move my springs, etc, etc. etc. but obviously I don't want to do any of that.

Photos sent in from November 15th through Feb 15th have been added. If you didn't get an email saying yours has been added, then it hasn't so please don't email me about it as I'm been absolutely swamped with work. I just have to get away from computer as I've been working on the web site, ftp and email for 3 and a half weeks and I just can't take it anymore. As it stands, 54 trucks have been added to pictorial. Enjoy!

I was hopeing to have a Volarie with a 292 and ram-horn manifolds. After looking at some trucks at a truck show the ram-horn manifolds will not have enough room for the exhaust pipes. Has anyone else combined the Y-block with the volarie? What exhaust systems can be used? ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2000 20:48:06 -0500 From: Ken Payne Subject: Re: ADMIN: Pictorial updated At 02:54 PM 2/20/00 -0500, you wrote: >In a message dated 2/20/00 1:58:42 PM Eastern Standard Time, >kpayne ford-trucks.com writes: > ><< pre61-list ford-trucks.com >> > > >Where is the pictorial located?

Ken ------------------------------ From: Jellolaw aol.com Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 03:48:47 EST Subject: Fordenstein's Monster. 56 Ford-several Q's. [Also posted to the message board at Ford-Trucks] I have my grandfather's 56 Ford. He used it as a work truck and replaced everything below the frame with parts from a 3/4ton. What year - I've NO clue. This is also the full-length - Express? - model, so it really is an oddity. I believe it has 16" 8 hole split rims. (I'm not in the same town as it is right now...) The guys at the tire place didn't like them at all. My Dad seems to think that most any wheel off a 3/4 ton Ford should work on there. Right? Will any 8-hole off a Ford work, not just a 3/4 ton? He also may have replaced the 272 with a 292. My dad was busy with a thing called Vietnam when this may have happened, so we don't know for sure. I don't see any marks on the outside of the block. Is there any way to tell, visually, without measuring the bore and/or stroke? Any way to tell what year 292 it may be? What did the colonial white paint on the top and the rear of the cab mean? What would be best for a power steering conversion? Will that probably interfere with headers? I think I'm finally ready to tackle this beast. I should probably be shot for letting her sit for 7 years... Thank you for your knowledge. E.

The crossmember comes from a company called Gibbons Fiberglass. I have thought about this install as I will be installing a big block engine. Has anyone used their product? Any thoughts on this would be great. Sean '55 F-100 ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ From: "Howard H.
