I know this is not the place for this, but how do I just post a simple question? I don't see a post button anywhere, and I would just like to ask a couple simple questions to everyone!

Hey...

Does anyone know where to get a complete brakeline kit for a 78 F-150 4x4? Also, is it hard to change the cab bushings? How much of a pain in the butt is it to change the Radius arm bushings, and can I safely heat them up to get the nuts loose, and do I have to take the radius arm completely off to change the bushings? Seems like I did it years ago with out doing so, but can't remember! Age catching up with me I reckon! I am all for tricks and tips that may help! Thanx!

A complete set of bushings can be had from "ENERGY SUSPENSION" with all of the bushings in the truck - but they are not stock. Some people have a hard time with nylon or urethane sets. Your best bet is to contact: 1ATONY - because even if he doesn't stock it - he knows where he can get one from.

Check it out!

He's a sponsor, and gives us club discounts when he can...

Go to this link, tell him Greywolf sent you and you're from Club FTE

I bet he does good by you!

TONY

The fast lane of course is to send a PM to 1ATony right here at FTE (If you can PM yet - it takes about 25 posts to get that option)

NOW THAT THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM has been addressed - you need to back up to the main forum menu and look for the forum where your truck best fits - and post the questions you have in there.

It takes getting used to I know - but there are a lot of good forums where a world of info is waiting all arranged so that you can find them easy!

YOU HAVE:
A 1978 F150, so this is the best forum to look in:
