Good brakes
I found out today just how good the brakes are on the 65. I was coming up on an accident scene, (only running 35, it was a 50 mph speed limit) when this guy for one of the other fire depts. locally is waving me on through, and then when I'm like 15 feet from him they decide to make me stop on a dime and give change!
Locked the brakes up and skidded sideways at 35 mph! I do think he needed a change of clothes though, because I was only 7 feet or so from him when the truck finally stopped sliding.
1988 F-150, SWB, 5.0 EFI (formerly 4.9 EFI), M5OD 5 speed, 3.08 gears, Summit shorty truck headers, Custom built Flowmaster exhaust system. Force 4 LP6000 lightbar, Federal signal PA-300 100 watt siren, Icom IC-V100 50 watt mobile radio.
=======================================
1965 F-100 (just purchased 1/18/01), SWB, 390, C-6 auto. Dual exhaust, Not much else to do to it.
Can see both below.
