It is a dying bearing kind of noise that I hear when the truck is in motion. The noise begins when I release the clutch pedal, and seems to be related to engine rpm. The noise does NOT occur in neutral. I have a gut feeling it's inside the transmission, but I'd love it if somebody could tell me otherwise. - -- Don Neighbors '54 F250 Named Grover "Any dropped tool or part will automatically fall into the most inaccessible part of the vehicle." grover ford-trucks.com == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 21:52:59 -0500 From: "Thomas J.

I thought that phosphoric acid + iron oxide(rust) formed iron phosphate (the black stuff). I've never used POR 15, but I thought the descriptions were that it was different than phosphoric acid. Anyway, the iron phosphate is supposed to be harder than iron and I think may also form a seal.

Since then I've tried other products (both professional and hardware store variety)for rust on my, excuse the term, El Camino. I have found nothing that was as easy, as durable or as great a finish as POR15. It's going on 7 years now and it hasn't flaked, rusted or chipped. I've accidently hit it with hammers and tools and it didn't even chip. I can still take a rag and just wipe it off and it looks great. The only thing you have to watch out for is that it is UV sensitive. If your going to paint something that is exposed to direct sunlight then it needs to be recoated with a top coat. If your building a driver you won't have to worry as much about the frame chipping like you do with other paints. I can't say enough about any of their products.

A similar situation resulted in me getting a perfectly good fuel injected 5.0 and the problem was not in the engine but supposedly in the fuel delivery system. Had to do with the in tank fuel pump. == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 10:42:03 -0600 From: "Terry" Subject: FTE Pre61 - Re: rust proofing What I have good luck with is a two part epoxy primer like Ditzler DP90 and DP 402. If you sandblast the frame, it should be ready to shoot on the primer. It can also be brushed on. This stuff goes on smooth and is pretty much bullet proof. Phosphoric is used extensively for metal conditioner and will usually remove light surface rust. But the residue it leaves does not make for a good base for some paints to stick very well. It will also dry leaving the brush marks or residue buildup showing through the topcoat. I dont know If the POR15 is a two part mix. If it is then its basically an epoxy type sealer also. But I have not used it before. It seems the easy fix for the DIY that doesnt have access to everything a body shop makes use of. >> I am down to the frame of my project now-I am planning to sandblast and >> rustproof- I have been reading about por15 etc I was in home depot and >asked == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 20:32:52 EST From: A61fordtruck aol.com Subject: FTE Pre61 - vo-lar-e...whow-o-o-o, volare, o-o-o Hey everybody, I'm back in the US from europe and began to tear apart my '61 stepside today for restoration and... I pulled the truck out of the shed where it had sat for 2 years, put in a hot battery, and it fired up on about the 4th try. the clutch was stuck, but it broke loose after about 10 feet of cranking. (Try that with a 90's truck sometime!) I am thinking of installing a Volare clip and have a serious question. why does everybody notch the frame? would it not be more easy to use the 4 stock mounting points, fabricate some brackets and bolt it all in? why all the cutting and welding? Please somebody inlighten me.

I had just done the job and then rolled my truck off a cliff. I saved the drums. I then went on to restore a 1/2 ton that I bought as a parts truck.

Personal experience, spray paints don't last. If you have the ability use a catalyzed primer like DP40 & paint with catalyzed urethane paint of the same brand. But, another option is POR15 it is good, advantages: no matter how good you are with a spray gun you will not be able to coat ALL the nooks a crannies, with POR15 and a brush I am. It is easy to use & safe, yes it does need a top coat to keep from discoloring. My process for frames: Pressure wash w/ a steam ginny, scrap gunk as needed, sand blast, inspect, blast, (never seems to end), phosphoric acid (sprayed on) Let it dry! then paint. Don't rush YOU WILL miss spots. Opinion: urethane is most durable... Allen == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------....
