I think 48 years have taken their toll. I have seen the term re-arching in some of the stuff I have read. Not sure what that is. I drive my trusk regularly and often haul stuff so I need to do something. I'd like to maintain some ride comfort in the process. Any input will be appreciated. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 May 2000 07:33:48 -0700 (PDT) From: Dennis Moody Subject: engine cart can anyone tell me where I can purchase one of those engine carts for the flathead that mounts to the exhaust flanges?

Don, Good to "hear" from you. What has been up on the Pigeon Forge front? I still plan on getting there in the middle of the day Friday. Looks like gas might be at least $1.50 in the Memphis area by then! I hope that won't defer many classics from the show!

Mark Think through your plans for the truck. If you are a serious, passionate restorer, and the truck is a perfect candidate, dive right into the frame off. If, on the other hand, it's your first one, get it running safely, use it for useful things for awhile and see where that takes you. Also, be careful about taking apart too much at a time unless you are really dedicated and organized. You might have to move :-) AL no-name 57 F100 > From: "Mark Campbell" > Subject: Where do I begin? > Date: Fri, 05 May 2000 07:50:16 CDT > > Hey guys, I'm brand knew to this forum.

He uses a 10 lb. sledge hammer to do this. I sure there are better explanations on this, but that's is the basic idea.

Apparently it belonged to her husband and he's recently passed away. She wants to sell it "fast". She says it has new brakes, tires, and wheels but doesn't know much else about it. It has an engine but does not run. $500 or best offer and it's in Modesto, CA. Her name is Diana Brown and her email address is brown netfeed.com. ~Dan 1950 F1 351C--chugchugchugchugchug 1998 Explorer--Wow, 59 more payments and it's mine...ugh.

Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 04:46:34 -0500 Earl The articles say's that a g.m. rag joint will work on a Toyota box ,but I can see some problems.The Toyota box is 11/16 by 36 splines,g.m. are 3/4 by 36 or 30 splines,that's only 1/16 diff.using the 3/4 g.m.joint but the splines are very small and I'd be worried about slippage.I suppose one could pack it with J.B.Weld to fill in the gaps,but ! Borgeson has a list on there web site that has all the sizes for g.m. and Ford column and boxes, www.borgeson.com Mangor ----- Original Message ----- From: "Earl Capps" To: "Pre '61 Ford Trucks" Sent: Sunday, May 07, 2000 7:55 PM Subject: [pre61-list] Toyota Steering/Column?? > > Update: I have the 429 mounted using the frame mount from Trans Dapt via a restoration store. I have the gear box mounted. I ordered the pitman arm from Bob's F-100 parts; a little sloppy looking but heavy duty. This will allow me to attach to the stock drag link. The gear box looks like original equipment. It lines up perfectly. > Now: I need a new column; maybe. I previously had a '73 LTD column. This does not fit the Toyota splines on the box. I'm told that late model GM columns have the same splines. What does late mean? > Will a GM rag joint of the late model mate with a Ford column? In other words, are GM and Ford rag joints the same?
