F50cen21112
132 m F502 db8 p. 42

It currently has a single speed rear and a four speed trans. I'm not sure what size ft engine it is.

Thanks! I'm guessing the old girl wasn't much for speed with that kind of rear gear.

Let's say it had 7.50x20s, approx 36" diameter. (kind of a wag, give or take on that)

You would have 17 MPH per 1000 rpms.

That's about the same as if you were in second gear of an E4OD with 3.55s and 32 inch tires....

But I digress.

So, that F500 would run 3761 rpms at 65mph.

IF you had the courage to hold it there for long......

You have plans for that truck? Perfect for the farm IMO....

I'm just going to tinker with it right now and get it going. I've cleaned the gas tank and put a new fuel pump on her. Numberdummy can you help me with the ford part number for the master cylinder?

Could we see some pictures? Here is how.


But I got ta say becoming a supporter is the fastest and easiest way to post pics right from
your whatever pad/cell thing or home computer.
Few of us look in the users Gallery or album as you can see by your recent visitors.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
The best photos and videos | Photobucket

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

Here's a tutorial Bob put together: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/67...-pictures.html Bob's link is not working. Can someone in the know tell me why?

How to upload pictures to the FTE Forums. - YouTube. Thanks Sam Rusty_Old_F250. Best we can find is that this video was done by Gundown64
