OK, now we can chat...

 

I suppose, although, again, your young and needn't complain about tail. Besides, shouldn't a job and a life come before said tail?

 

Actually, education is number ONE.

 

OK, I'll give you that, but since that should be common sense, I didn't think it needed mentioning.

 

Well, you didn't mention it, so it mustn't be common sense, which isn't so common anymore.

 

Agreed, although again common sense means I shouldn't have to mention it...

 

If people had common sense, the world would be perfect.

 

A few questions:

I. Why is there an ammo box under the hood? (I would assume tools, as mine has a coffee can(P.O.))

II. Why is there no smog equip. on the F-350?

III. Why aren't you driving it?

IV. If your not going to use it, can I have it?

 

1. Alway's Need to Be Prepared.
2. F-350's didn't get Cat's til the late '80s, it's a GVW thing. (Mine, as well as your's, has a PCV valve)
3. Because it doesn't have current tag's.
4. You wanna cruise, Riverside, Find it, you can LOOK at it.

 

Dang man, where's the love?

 

What do you mean...?

 

No posts since 10/3, what did y'all do, run out of things to say?

PCV = Positive Crankcase Ventilation, mandated beginning in 1961 for all vehicles sold new in CA.

So, your truck does have some emission equipment and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it has the Evap Emission System since it was sold new in CA.

Oh, and by the way kiddo, your in-experience is showing. 1977 was the FIRST year F350's came with catalytic converters.

Open your peepers and look in the parts catalog: Text Section 52.1 page 6, right hand column...there are the applications.

 

First, Bill you just downright scare me. Your knowledge of FoMoCo vehicles would be almost disturbing, if it weren't so amazingly awesome.

Second, I just stopped posting over here because for the time being, I didn't have anything that needed posting, at least not over here.

 

Hmmmm...There was a thread on this a month or so ago, many people said their F-350s didn't have them. I will have to go back and check that thread, then again, I wouldn't trust what most people say on here, many of 'em don't know what they are talkin' about, including me...
My truck doesn't have any evap stuff, that I know of, it may have been removed, like I said, it's had an engine swap, so who know's...
Bill, I almost bought a original '64 F-350 from the 2nd owner, who only had it a month, the original owner was in the process of restroing it and died, it had a 292 and a T-98 Borg Warner, this thing was geared low!
It sold before you got back here, I couldn't come up with the money fast enough. The battery, like the 4x4s, was under a panel on the passenger side. The rebuilt 292 had 100 miles on it. The old man owned a chrome shop and redid the headlight bezels, and the front bumper, so they were mint condition.

 

I noticed a thread where you were trying to raise dinero for that old rolling pile of miseries. You should thank your lucky stars you didn't.

F350's of that era have leaf springs front and rear, so ride like an oxcart. The drum brakes are as archaic as the Stone Age and are horribly inadequate for today's traffic. No P/S was available, so trying to park the elephant is no picnic.

No one wants a flatbed, people that buy old trucks usually want pickups or panels. The wheels are 6 lug, with a 7.25" bolt circle, most are either 17.5" or 19.5" and are widow makers.

Finding someone to dismount the tires from the wheels in today's world ain't EZ, finding tires for these wheels is no picnic, either. Forgetaboutit!

Look for something you can get parts for and has modern amenities, like a no CA smog test 1973/75 F100 w/a 302/C4 with P/S & P/D/B.

Original: As it rolled off the assembly line. A vehicle that had been rechromed, or repainted or had the engine rebuilt is not original.
