So no just open the dvrs side door and rear the warranty tag, if you are sure no one ever changed the door out.

Also look at the white Safety certification label on the drvrs side b pillar.

 

One of the requirements for being a "Ford truck enthusiast" is to be found lying under your truck with that unmistakable Ford grin on your face ..

 

Is this close enough to "laying down under"? And she is grinning, I promise

Cause she gets to rattle bomb something...AKA "help me".

 

Nice ! The wives of FTE (co-pilots) have to be able to tell the difference between a dent and a bump at 60 mph ..

 

Oh she is there and way better than that, she knows the difference in a 1/2 or 3/4 ton. Can spot a dent side in a pile of brush 1/2 way behind a barn at 80 MPH.

You know I like to brag on my Co-pilot, she is an awesome Ford spotter. I get a kick out of her at the Off Road Jamboree when she can spot and call BS on a trucks suspension...front blocks, 5 shocks per wheel, jacked up so high it has NO front d/s, you know the stuff that make you just laugh out loud.

 

She's a keeper Without mine I'd be lost

 

On my old 75 F100 I installed a 6" lift from BDS and ran 36x12.5" bias TSL super swampers. Truck had the hp44 up front and 9" rear. Everything held up just fine off road with a 390 powering it all. 4.10 gears.

 

Pulling the boot is the easy way to tell which trans you have. As far as the shift pattern, I think it was actually the T19 that was up toward the dash. All the T18s I have seen have the same shift pattern as the 435-reverse is down on the right.

 

Thanks u guys that was very helpful, I finally got beaten by a girl lol

 

I'm runnin a 6" suspension lift on my 77 f150 ranger. It's got all new tie-rods, universals, and ball joints. Planning on throwing some 36's or 37's on it, but I have a new set of aluminum wheels that were given to me and they're 15"x10's. the 15" wheels limit me quite a bit.
As far as holding her together and breaking stuff, I'll probably only drive it to the Rusty Nut car shows up this way and play with it a little.....don't see much mud in its future. My wife likes big trucks and is a bit of a gearhead, but she'd kill me if I started breaking stuff.

 

Got any pics?? And does anyone know what's the minimal I can or have to do to hold 35s?

Thanks everyone

 

Are you asking what's the minimal components you'll need to handle 35s? You're fine with the stock axles if you go with a 35" tire. It's not all about what upgrades you do to your truck either, knowing it's limits and how to drive it are a big part too. If you feel like upgrading to chromoly shafts it won't hurt, but I don't see the need for them. The only time I considered them is when I wanted to put a blower on the engine. Then I sold the truck and bought one with stronger axles.
