Check the stroke....might be your g-pa was lead astray, there is no way, externally/visually, to know whether the engine is a 390 or not.... #Dummy is not calling your family's honor into question...only stating what is more often the case than not.

LET's get some more rides on this thread!

Hit the road in a Ford...be happy.

 

If the engine came from a '64 Bird, it's a 390 (if it was the original engine). The 390 was the only engine available in Bird's from 1961 thru 1965.

 

Sorry, since the issue of 61-65 390's came up thought I would add my . For info purposes, may save someone from acquiring a collection of useless pulleys. Have 65 T-Bird 390 in the 65 F100 and with the power steering upgrade found locating a 2-3 groove pulley that mounts to the 65 harmonic balance is as hard to come by has hens teeth. Oh, by the way, there is just a thing as hen's teeth. Anyhow, went to later model balance and pulley setup, never was satisfied, may have been my imagination, just seemed with the later model balance and pulley there was always this annoying vibration. Anyhow, eventually came across a 2 sheave/groove pulley that mounts to the 65 balance. (The distance between the threads on the 65 harmonic balance for mounting the pulley are slightly less that the later models harmonic balances).

Nice F 750 neetolman. I got my eye on a 48 Kenworth that I used in our fire department. Friend bought it for a $1000.00 and just has it sitting in his yard. It is almost as clean as this F 750. I will talk him out of it yet.

 

cool no worries for me then. thanks #Dummy. nice fire truck. never seen a 750 before. huge friggin tires

 

Bill, Yu Da Man!!, it's embarrassing when I consider all the phone calls, and salvage runs it took over several months to find the darn thing, and you locate a few of them in a matter of minutes. I am going to give them a call tomorrow, like to pick up another 2 sheave. Thanks, Bill

 

Tison or Klimesh will be the cheapest, Green the most expensive.

btw: There was a FTE member that had been looking for NOS 1973/79 Flareside rear bumper brackets for three years.

I found them for him in 2 minutes!

 

This is the brown truck from page 6 of this thread after 3 months of goofing off in the backyard.

 

WOW!!! That's a GORGEOUS F-250, modeleh!!! Thanks for the screen background!

 

came out BITCHIN! A set of 4x hub caps for the front and Nice work man!! Congrads

And that F 750 is to die for. Damn thats a great looking truck!

 

Ford didn't offer hubcaps for the front wheels of 4WD's until 1967.

Some 1959/66 4WD's didn't come with any hubcaps...front or rear.

1966 (1967/72) F100's with 15" wheels offered an optional 4WD front wheelcover.

The rears use a matching wheelcover...without the hole for the hub to poke thru.

These same two wheelcovers were standard equipment on 1966/77 Bronco's.

 

That's right...that 4x is probably the most 'correct' looking truck of it's kind I've seen.

Drive on...but drive a Ford.

 

It's a Custom Cab, so it should have stainless steel hubcaps (C3TZ1130C) with the letters FORD painted red.

The hubcaps that are on there now (C1TT1130A-Argent)...are one of two types of the hubcaps used for Standard Cabs.

The other version of this exact same hubcap was painted white (C5TZ1130A) with red FORD letters.

The stainless hubcap has just been reproduced.
