Gary, actually tranny pumps can make the exact same noise. I guess it's
just a hydraulic pump noise. Mine does it every once in awhile but I hope=

that if I ignore it hard enough it will go away. =


If you hear the noise and it sounds like it's coming from underneath the
truck and turning the steering wheel doesn't change it it may be the tran=
ny
pump.

Hope this helps,

Does anyone have a '73 to 78 F150 that came with a 460 as original
equipment?

To Mike: To easily remove pilot bearing and for about 10 cents, select a
straight drift pin that fairly fits into pilot bearing hole, remove it,
fill the cavity with WHEEL BEARING grease, packing it completely, insert
drift and hit sharply with hammer. The hydraulic pressure will force
bearing out undamaged. PS...wear safety goggles in case of splatter. Hope
this helps..Lee Hardy

Subject: 53 F-100

I am new to the list. It has been my dream for sometime to have a 53-56
F-100. I have the chance to buy a 53. It's in pretty sad shape. The current
owner tried to put it on the road about 10 years ago. He put in a motor,
trans, body work, etc. only to see the frame break when he jacked it up to
put on his new wheels & tires. (You would have thought he would have
checked the frame before dumping all that time and money in it.)
Any way my plan is to buy the 53 now, tear it apart and put it in storage
> for a couple of years until I come up with some extra cash. I would like to
pick up a wrecked early 90's F150 short bed (hopefully a Lightning) and use
it's frame and running gear.

Has any one out there done this type of project?
