I’ve put about 100 miles on it. Rebuilt the engine, rewired it, put in floor pans, sound deadened EVERYTHING, converted idiot light dash to full sweep, all new fuel hoses. Now finishing up all the door seals and window seals. Retrosound with a passive crossover and 10” sub.
Found this Craig 8-track player laying outside on the ground for who knows how long in southern California thrift shop. I asked how much and the shop owner didn't recognize it and gave it to me for free because I was buying a hub cap. Works like a dream! Install doesn't mess with my driving and is too high up to touch my legs.
Coming out the side of my transmission. Vacuum fitting? Fluid hose of some sort? Is something important meant to be attached to this barb?
I noticed my 72 F250 had rubber hole covers in the side pillars, so I assumed there would be a threaded hole behind it for a factory option not fitt to the truck off the line. Unfortunately, no threads here, just smooth holes.
I want to upgrade to 3 point seatbelts, already have 2 from LMC in my possession. Am I missing something obvious here?
Pin pulled out trying to seat the pulley on the new power steering pump. I had to chase the threads in the pump shaft, use a longer bolt, and stacked two box end wrenches around the bolt as spacers to push the pulley home. 🤦♂️
Installing replacement shocks, Today, and it looks like someone crushed the rear lower perches. They’re now too narrow to allow the sleeve retainer washers to fit, and I can’t figure out how to get enough force on the perch to spread it back out.
Just pulled this off my '68 F100 and was hoping someone could help me with roughly identifying what diff I actually have here, but mainly if these welds that im uncovering are actually factory or not. I tried taking pictures of all the markings I could find on it not sure if i got em all. thanks in advance!
My engine is from a mid to late ‘70s F250 and the truck has been converted to power steering.
My pump has begun knocking pretty bad (confirmed it’s the pump by disconnecting and running the engine without it) so I figure it’s time to replace. It’s never been very strong, anyway.
How the heck do I figure out which pump to order? Mine has no legible markings. Seems to mount to the carrier with three bolts.
I bought this truck a while ago and it always had a terrible exhaust leak but I didn’t pay much for it so I wasn’t too concerned. Finally one day I was searching for the cause of a misfire, come to find out that this truck has no exhaust manifold gaskets, it definitely has a burnt valve or two after some further investigation.
It’s a 2 barrel truck and I would like to go to a 4 barrel and I’d like to slap some headers on it. I’ve always thought a hopped up work truck was a funny thing so why not do it to this truck? Im not trying to do rolling burnouts but I’ve got a car trailer and I along with my friends are always buying some variety of junk that needs to be hauled so more pulling power is always better.
If anyone else has any suggestions on ways I can make more power out of this truck that aren’t engine swaps, let me know, I’m curious.
