Motor and trans in, 400ci, np435 4-speed, 205 t-case.

Spent the last week getting some new seals for the transmission and not doing anything because it’s been too hot. But back on it again.

Just trying to keep myself motivated…. Pulling the old 360, for a fresh built 460. And gotta rewire this whole thing. I’ve got the American Auto Wire harness to go in it.

DANA 44 Front Axle Rebuild - Part 1

Today on Ford DentSide Garage, we tear into the Dana 44 front axle. We remove the Ford hub, clips, rusted spindles, and then pull the axle shafts. Then, remove ball joints, drain the Dana 44 differential, remove everything, and clean it up in prep for a full rebuild. This axle is definitely showing its age, and we find a few surprises along the way. Parts are ordered, so stay tuned for part 2 of the Dana 44 rebuild.

Need help valuing truck

Need help evaluating the worth of this truck. It’s a 1973 F250, 2wd, 360 and C6. Has factory AC but it doesn’t work, missing the compressor. Runs and drives fine. It’s got the original motor and transmission, about 107k on the odometer. I think that makes it worth a little more, but also it’s 2wd, long bed and unrestored, so probably not by much. I see plenty of people on marketplace listing basically the same stuff for $10-12k, but I’m thinking maybe $8k max. I know “it’s worth whatever someone is willing to buy it for” but I just wanted some opinions.

Engine heat, normal behaviour?

I drive for about 15 minutes, and during that time the temperature gauge stays just above the halfway mark. Then I park, leave the engine idling for about 3 minutes, and the gauge climbs quite a bit. Is that normal? I mean, I expect it to go up a little since there's no airflow anymore, but that much?

New to Me and my first Classic.

Just felt like I had to post so I could officially come out of the lurker phase.

​

Any tips, tricks, sources of knowledge, and etc. is appreciated.

Happy cruising!

Starting to look like a truck again. Need to start getting the interior and wiring back together.

We’ve got full bed sides to replace both sides, but that will happen down the road. Same with putting a larger capacity fuel tank in.

The bed will come off again later to do the sides and deal with the paint on the cab.

Whats that noise and issue of not starting?

Hi, had a 30min drive, everything looked good. But after arriving I heard that sound under the hood. I turned it off and tried to start, but does not start. Any ideas?
