My 79 F-100 (6) wasn't exactly a sauna but unless you have a big windchill with very low temperature, it should throw enough heat if it's working to specs. Being from Ottawa, I always covered the rad for the winter anyway (custom cardboard box application) and took it off the first day it overheated in the spring because I forgot all about it. ______ Date: Tue, 26 Aug 1997 10:01:54 +0000 From: "Gary, 78 BBB" Subject: Re: More BTU's please.. > From: sdelanty > Date: Fri, 22 Aug 1997 09:56:21 -0700 > Subject: More BTU's please.. > Are there any heavier duty heater parts or setups that use a bigger > core that will fit my '71? There was a High output heater option as far back as I can remember on vans but not sure about PU's. The cores are roughly twice as big and may even fit inside the original housing since most I've seen have extra room in them but you may need to get the larger housing as well. You might be able to use a newer one with a little ingenuity but I'm just guessing. I don't have time to get to junk yards so can't do the "what If's" I'd like to. If you're really serious and can get some time to browse the yards take the measurments of the box and it's outlets and go looking at vans, they may be close enough to work for you, wish I knew for sure :-) - -- Gary Peters -- ======================================================================= Ford Truck Enthusiasts - 1979 And Older Trucks Visit our web site: http://www.ford-trucks.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe, send email to: fordtrucks-request with the word "unsubscribe" in the body of the message.

The front axle should all mount up the same. The only difference I have seen is the location of the track bar bolt location.

The power drag link is a PITA IMHO. If it takes a little more research to turn up an integral unit that will work it will be well worth the effort, again IMHO :-) If the pitman arm is the only problem make a shim to wrap around the tapered pin on the drag link to take up the slack. I had to do that on my Van conversion but I used the stock unit in that case with a drop arm which happened to be made for a 4x4 and I retained the van linkage. As it turns out the van has linkage in front of the axle so it all worked out. - -- Gary Peters -- (Mine)78 F-150, 2wd, 460, C-6 (Mine)78 Bronco, 4wd, 351M, Np 435, Np 205, 33's (Daughter's)92 Tempo (Daughter's)92 T-Bird (Wife's)94 T-Bird (Son's)90 F-150, I6 (Son's)76 Blue Bird School bus All mine to work on, maintain etc.. ======================================================================= Ford Truck Enthusiasts - 1979 And Older Trucks Visit our web site: http://www.ford-trucks.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe, send email to: fordtrucks-request with the word "unsubscribe" in the body of the message.

If you hypothetically allow .200" stock on the I.D. which would be .100 on a side you will have a max deflection of only .050" which I would guess will quickly mold itself to the drum and probably spring the shoe that much without detracting much from it's stopping power IMHO :-) Drums use to have more meat in them than they do now and in some cases there isn't enough material left to take a healthy cut so the rotors and drums must be discarded anyway. - -- Gary Peters -- (Mine)78 F-150, 2wd, 460, C-6 (Mine)78 Bronco, 4wd, 351M, Np 435, Np 205, 33's (Daughter's)92 Tempo (Daughter's)92 T-Bird (Wife's)94 T-Bird (Son's)90 F-150, I6 (Son's)76 Blue Bird School bus All mine to work on, maintain etc.. ======================================================================= Ford Truck Enthusiasts - 1979 And Older Trucks Visit our web site: http://www.ford-trucks.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe, send email to: fordtrucks-request with the word "unsubscribe" in the body of the message.

While browsing through my favorite bone yard I came across a 1963 F350 with the one ton solid axle still under it, complete (except rims), and in good shape. My less than fertile mind was intrigued and decided that I may be able to come up with something to do with it. My answer was to see if it would fit under the front of my 1965 F100 parts truck and in effect create a 1965 F350 Super Duty (with dually rear axle added also.) I stewed on it awhile and did some measuring and decided it would work with slight modification to the 1965 frame. I purchased the axle with the springs, shackles, front-rear hangers, drag link and pitman arm. After drilling and chiseling plenty of rivets on the 1965 frame I was able to remove all mounting brackets of the twin I beam suspension, including the spring pirches. My project is at the stage now where the bare frame is upside down with the axle/springs sitting in place and not attached yet. I want to work out all the details before going any further. Which comes to my main question. Does anyone have any thoughts about steering linkage? I would like to do this without using the '63 steering box as that would mean cutting a hole in the frame which can not be good for strength. Using the stock steering box may work but it seems the pitman arm will interfere with the left spring when turning right and going over a bump at the same time (it could happen.) I would appreciate any thoughts. Thank you and sorry so long winded. Jon E.

Remember that the heater circuit is the block circulation path when the thermostat is closed so don't block it off, use jumpers if you don't hook up the heater right away. 77 460 should be internally balanced so you need the flexplate for that arrangement, don't use the 335 series flex plate.

I had a fun 5 days at home finishing the siding on my barn and changing the ball joints on one side of the dana 44 as well as working on the brakes, Had to replace the rotor dust shields on both sides due to Michigan cancer and was hoping to put on the Earl's lines while I was at it but they didn't get here on time. Installed the Summit adjustable proportioning valve and am in the process of adjusting for best braking response. The ball joints weren't too bad to do but I was getting concerned about the top one which had to be knocked out from the back side through the hole for the bottom one. Using a muffler chisle with punch installed I was able to get them both out eventually. It's interesting that there is only one snap ring on one joint to support all the unladen weight of spindle and tire assy on jounce/rebound when the tire is off the ground but they press in pretty hard so I suppose it's enough. I have anti-seize on everything i've taken apart so it will be a snap to work on in the future :-) See ya tomorrow if no one got my plate number this morning :-) - -- Gary Peters -- (Mine)78 F-150, 2wd, 460, C-6 (Mine)78 Bronco, 4wd, 351M, Np 435, Np 205, 33's (Daughter's)92 Tempo (Daughter's)92 T-Bird (Wife's)94 T-Bird (Son's)90 F-150, I6 (Son's)76 Blue Bird School bus All mine to work on, maintain etc.. ======================================================================= Ford Truck Enthusiasts - 1979 And Older Trucks Visit our web site: http://www.ford-trucks.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe, send email to: fordtrucks-request with the word "unsubscribe" in the body of the message.

Yup. Heard about it this weekend in fact. I did "Truck improvement day" at my friends house cause he has air tools ( I don't heal like I used to). Anyway, he mentioned this process of sort of lathing the shoes into the old drums. He said he had seen it done in shops he used to work at. I don't know for sure, but I bet if you looked around you could find a shop that would still do it if that is your desire. I usually only turn the drums if they are whacked or if they vibrate intensely when stopping (out of round). Then again, I'm pretty broke most of the time. I got away with not turning them on this brake job.

There is a rubber piece between your steering link and the steering box, they get old, dry rotted and loose. 2. Bad upper and lower ball joints is another common problem 3. Any of the steering geometrics, tie rod ends, drag links, ect. 4. Steering box adjustment, this is done by that little screw on the top of the steering box, loosen the lock nut and try tightning the screw 1/4 turn at a time. I don't recommend you go over 3/4 of a turn. 5. replace the steering stabalizer shock on the front end, conected to the drag link, If you don't have one many companies make kits. go to your local parts store. Full time transfer=A0case situation. 1. High range, low range with no lock means that the front and rear is acting like a nonlocking differential. this enables the transfer case to put power the wheel or wheels most in need of traction. This aids in keeping gas milage down a little, and saves from braking pieces, like universals and ring and pinions, and drive shafts when driving on pavement. It also is easier on front end pieces.The "Lock" gear is when the transfer case sends power to the front and back at the same time, it's "locked".
