Subject: Need some help!

Hi Ken!
I know everything that's going on with the list can't be cheap! With the
split, a possible domain name the window stickers not to mention the hours
of administration you've been doing! Will you let us help!
List members! This is me asking. Ken has said and will no doubt say
again this list is free! The only association I have with Ken is the same
one all of us have!
Sometime ago Ken allowed us to donate (we suggested and we voted) no one
was asked to contribute. Ken posted what was donated but never who did or
didn't! A lot did. It was surprising how a buck here and a buck there added
up. Ken gave full disclosure how the money was spent even though no one
asked. I'm just letting new people know this so there is no mass panic that
there will be a charge. I have one vote like everyone else!
Ken, what you have done with the Homepage and the list I would say our
money was well spent. I would like to ask the list to second this proposal
and post their support and or thoughts! If 10% of this list donates $1.00
that will pay for the split. If 20% donates $1.00 that will pay for the
split and the domain name. If 90% donates $1.00 I know Ken will do with it
for us!
It's up to us people! Ken let us vote on everything he has done for us.
Lets vote on how we can say Thank you!


I Jim Strigas propose that we set-up a voluntary donation to the Ford Truck
Club! Is there a second?

Ken, can this be forward to the other list (or if the split has taken place,
lists) for their vote?

that's how i pay for my expensive hobbies. i drain my oil and sell it to
the local coffee destributer. i have found that capaccino can be made with
a little bit of coolant and bearing material foaming on top.

As I understand it the list is self supporting through certain
advertising arrangements but the work Ken does to maintain the list
as well as the web site is certainly worth considering. I have a job
which allows me lots of browsing time and a company that doesn't
monitor what I'm doing to any great extent so I am free to play with
my mail to my heart's content and in fact I would be going crazy if I
didn't have something to occupy my mind in here but not everyone has
that luxury. I don't do any mail or computer stuff at home at all
but I understand Ken spends some of his home time ministering to our
needs/desires.

Even though I'm sure he's doing this because he enjoys it, I'm also
sure that it can be a burden some times so I don't mind contributing
something. I wish I had time to figure out all this web stuff so I
could maintain a page myself. My associate and I are trying to set
up a "Tool Room" page on our intranet here at Ford but I don't have a
clue how to get started yet. I expect I will be getting into HTML
pretty soon so maybe some day will have some usefull skills but don't
have any right now for list management, sorry. I program and develop
in Access and DataEase and have some very rusty "C" experience but no
web stuff yet.

Ken needs to publish a PO box we can mail contributions to so his
address stays descrete. They aren't very expensive and would work
well for this type of thing IMHO :-)

Subject: bolt patterns on rear

welcome to the axle from hell. last rebuild finished on saturday, but i
wanted to ask everyone a question. all the 9" rears i have dealt with up
until this last one had the same bolt pattern on the tube ends for the axle
retaining plate and brakes, etc.

this last one had a smaller pattern, it was from an '80's ford truck. i
had to press the bearings off and onto the good axle so i could use the
plate for my housing.

at the place that let me borrow their press, i was told that my style was
the odd style.

does anyone know if this was a change made a a certain year, or if it was
on different vehicles that the different bolt pattern was used. i could
just imagine it now going to the parts store - if i have the rarer bolt
pattern, then i'll never be able to find parts for it when i need to!

i don't know where my current housing came from, the new one is from an
80's ford.

also, i was told that many people put a small tack weld on the ring that
pesses on to hold the bearing in place for severe off roading or any
racing. has anyone heard of this being done?

where's my checkbook?
i am self employed and this list helps keep me sane on those days i spend
all day in front of this computer designing.
gary, you may find it very helpful and perhaps easy to do html with a
wysiwyg html editer like aolpress (free) or some other one. html is
simpler than BASIC by far and if you can do C, Access, etc than html should
be a breeze. (what ever happened to shipping computers with an easy to
learn programming language anyway??)

ok now, enough ford truck list stuff, got a new tool to make - deadline is
thursday.

Ford went to the 8.8 rear end in 84 or thereabouts. The 8.8 uses "C"
clips like Ch---y's and has press "in" bearings and slip in axles....
