Problem??: towing a trailer. Have any of you welded on one of those under the chassis hitch packages(where you can slide out the ball assembly) I want to keep the same clean lines, but really need to tow a trailer so I don't mess up MY NEW BED.

Anyone know the easy way to do this? Does everything have to come out? If so, how? Appreciate your help. Rick ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2000 23:28:28 -0500 From: "Abram H. Stauffer" Subject: springs and shocks FTE'ers: I have been reading the thread about the uneven bed. I have the same problem. I presume my springs are bad as they have not been touched in the last 21 years (and probably not before that). How do I know if they need re-arched .... or replaced? I assume my shocks are bad. What will new shocks do to the truck height? to the ride? in conjunction with new springs???? I am still enjoying the great ride I now have with my new radials. I can't believe how much better the ride would be with new shocks and springs. My next project is to fix the seat snubbers below the driver's seat to take the shock out of the bad bumps!!!! Thanks, Abe '54 F-100 ------------------------------ From: "Gary L. Perry" Subject: Re: springs and shocks Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 02:39:59 -0500 Shocks do nothing for ride height. They only "dampen" the up and down move- ment so you dont bounce forever. The springs and related hardware do all the support of the vehicle and it's ride. Don't forget to get grease into all the pins in shacles and front pivots and the leaves need to "slide" against each other. Many old springs don't slide and are broken or "froze" thusly sagging or not moving over bumps. "G" ------------------------------ From: "Gary L. Perry" Subject: Re: Eng. Trans compatible Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 12:52:30 -0500 NAC, It's the bellhousing and flywheel/clutch that determine what trans will fit. Assuming you have the frame mount bellhousing for a 292 (hard to find), any manual should bolt up. Those old "long-nose" starters had several different drives for different flywheels and applications. The number of teeth of each has to be matched. That may be grinding problem. Repair Manuals tell what ones are needed to match-up, but you have different mix years so have to explore on that one. I would think 55 up man. would be best to look at for Y-block stuff. 54 is odd one of bunch even tho it's a Y-block. Count the teeth on flywheel and starter drive and call Sacremento Ford in CA for help on match.

I have been to Sac Vintage, Dennis Carpenter and others, I can only find the pad. Has anyone solved this mystery?

I just ordered a kit for my 39 from them. I don't have the catalog for the 50, but I'd bet they have it.
