Hello from WA

Hey all my name is Blake. I just found this site and figured I should join. I have a 1986 f150. It has a 3 inch lift, and a built 351 w. I look foward to gaining some knowledge from this website.


I do have a question.

On my 9" rear end, I lost the eight bolts you have to remove to pull the axles. Does anyone know exactly what size I need to get? For some reason I have had the worst luck with these supposedly badass rear ends. This is my 4th one. 2 times were my fault for not putting it together correctly, but this last time I bought a rebuilt 3rd member for it. I took it very easy on the new rear end, but after about 300 miles something went wrong and has left it almost useless. Hopefully 4th time is the charm.

Oh and how to I post pictures?

blake

Thank you for playing our game, please exit to your right.

In order to add pics directly into your posts and have FTE serve them, you need
to be a Premium member here (i.e. give them money). But, there are other
ways.... 1) You can upload pics into your gallery here and link to them in your
posts (might be possible to do with Albums, too, but I've never done it), or 2) As
was suggested, create an account at one of those hosting services
(photobucket, flickr, imageshack, etc.), upload your pics to there, then link
them in your posts.
