Subject: '65 CC in Texas

If anybody close to Austin, Texas is looking for a restoration project I
just ran across a fairly clean '65 CC SWB Styleside in a gas station's
storage lot.
It's been sitting for a few years but it's complete (even the chrome) from
what I can see and only has the usual rust at the drip rail on the roof.
The owner reports it's a six/3-speed and he want's $500 for it. Email me
if you need more info.

The motor mounts from L&L work great and are life time guarantied. They also
carry
all products for 460 conversions. I used their products swapping a 1977
Mercury 460
into a 1976 F250.

Regarding the 302, I have no idea about the availabilty of small blocks, but
I know FOMOCO started slipping 302's in the Mustang midyear in place of the
289. They just did not tell anyone. My 68 has a 302, badged and decaled as a
289....

I'll try posting this again. Sorry if it's made it through before:

I know this may have been discused before, if so please forgive me. I have
a 1968 F100 and I would like to change the front drums to disc. What are
the parts needed? Can these parts be aquired from another truck from the
junkyard? How hard is this job for a "Shadetree"? Any other advice would be
helpful. Thanks in advance.

I am currently sanding and priming rust spots on the cab of my 65 Step
side. The filler in the seams of the cab on the exterior are cracked and
flaking out. Should I remove all of the filler or just sand it. If the
recommendation is to remove it then what should I replace it with?

1052's are F1, I believe that was the last year. Some 53 parts will fit a 52
or the other way around.

Since disk brakes were an option in 68, I guess on 68-72 disk brake set up
would swap.
Need master cylinder, brake lines, porportion valve and all parts off the
spindle.

Subject: Oil pan problem

I have a 69 2wd. 3spd. trans. with a 240 in it I got a 71 302 from a
Falcon my problem is that I was told I needed to get a different oil pan
for this application so I called the local yard and the guy says he just
happens to have a 69 truck w/ a 302 I go to pick up the oil pan and it
looks exactly like the one that is on the motor now is there some
difference in the oil pans that is not seen by looking at it i.e. amount
of oil or depth or something else? I really need to know because I
did'nt buy it and it is the only one I've been able to find in my area.
That leads to my next question is the 302 in a 69 a rare motor? One more
question where can I get the motor mounts for this swap? I need the
chassis as well as the motor. Thanks for your help and thanks to Ken for
a great place to get good answers and advice it is appreciated.

Mark,

First, someone else mentioned finding a 68-72 truck with front disc.
Good luck! Its going to be extremely difficult to find one. Your
best bet is a 73-79 donor, since all the 4x2s (that I know of) had them.

Parts needed:
1. spindles from a 73-79. will run $100-$200 bucks, depending on the yard
2. rubber brake hoses, $9-$15 each, specify 73-79
3. master cylinder and proportioning valve from junk yard $25-$40, 73-79
4. brake lines $1.50-$3.00 a stick, get 5 or 6 as you'll probably
mess up at least one. Also, get the longest they have, should
be 3/16" size line.
5. couplers, about a buck a piece. These are items you'll need if
you have to junction two steel lines together
6. bending and flairing tool $25
7. protractor, $1
8. bracket, I got one at home depot that I bent for about $2, to mount
the proportioning valve to the frame
9. king pin kit. again, specify 73-79. $40-$65
10. new ....
