By front clip i mean the entire front end, the fenders rad support etc as one unit...does it come off as one complete package ?

Ok. Got the original engine and transmission out friday nite and installed the new 302 c4 with lokar shifter combo saturday...the mustang shorty headers did not work. Clearance issue with steering box...i would post pictures but cannot figure out how...any ideas ?

Next step is to lower both front and rear by removing some leafs for smoother ride and raising frontmost shackle on rear springs...are the front and rear sway bars worth getting ?

Pics need to be uploaded to a third party hosting site, like flickr, etc., then linked here.

I'd drive it first and see how it handles, then make decisions to improve if necessary.

AXRacer has posted several times that sway bars on a solid axle are not really necessary as the leaf springs act in much the same manner and will make for a stiffer ride. Haven't done one myself though so no first hand experience.

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
