FTE Pre61 - Re: Speaking of Radials ======================================================================= ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2000 02:15:24 -0800 (PST) From: Oldtrukman webtv.net (R. Pietsch) Subject: FTE Pre61 - Truck weight and Volare clips The last time I took my truck across the scales, it weighed 4160 lbs. It is a '56 F100 with a 351 Cleveland motor rather than the Windsor, but I believe that they are relatively close to the same weight. I have also added a Volare clip to mine and I love it. It gives a very comfortable ride and it corners like a sports car compared to the old straight axle. It aint no Porche, but those torsion bars do make a BIG difference in the corners. I am not sure of the frame width difference between 53/56 to the 61 models or the track width specks, but I can recomend going with to Volare set up if it will work for you.

Since I lowered the beast, even with IFS, I get quite a bit of body role.

(my father thinks it's gonna shake his fillings out.) it takes some getting used to beings as how you're so high up and all, but still, i wouldn't trade back to that rollie-pollie motion... tim in seattle 58 panel 88 e 150 - ----- Original Message ----- From: O'Connell, Dennis M To: Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2000 2:47 PM Subject: FTE Pre61 - Rear Sway Bar > Hi all, > > Has anyone out there installed a rear sway bar on their F100 and how did it > work?

The radials hold the road better therefore I guess they turn harder. But I would rather have the easy steering... my opinion. == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2000 18:59:32 -0500 From: pschumacher mindspring.com Subject: FTE Pre61 - Front Bed Panel Anyone know where I could find a front bed panel for '56 3/4ton?

Now that I've got everyone's attention! Ford Truck Enthusiasts will be completing (hopefully) its move to its new dedicated server this weekend. There WILL be an interruption of service. Depending on how long it takes your ISP's DNS server to receive IP updates, you will lose access to FTE's web site and email lists for 24-72 hours. Anything sent to the lists or posted to the web site may be lost during this time. This is unavoidable since we do not host our own DNS server. Please be patient during this time. Don't ask questions about when FTE will be back up or ask about the status. This will only interrupt me and make it take longer. Some services on the site may have minor glitches (ie, bugs) during the course of the next week. The chat engine will be down for about a week. After the changes, you can expect faster mail delivery, and a ****much**** fast web site. The transition will start early Saturday morning.

I gotta ask.....What does the late sixties wheels have different over any other one piece 15" wheel that came on trucks from the fifties through the mid eighties? == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html....
