Hey All, Finally getting everything together for my T-5 Swap into my 61! I have been wanting do do this for a while. I have all the information with one exception. Speedometer issues with the newer T-5 to my Speedometer?? Anyone already dealt with this issue? I want to get everything ready and get i...

Thanks for all the input. It is appreciated. I realized yesterday that I may as well go with a WC T-5 with the tailshaft modification from Modern Driveline. That way if or when the 223 fails (hopefully not anytime soon). I can just bolt it up to a modern fuel injected 5.0. It's going to get expensiv...

Hey All, I have been checking on all of the different options of a T-5 install behind the 223 in my 61 F100. I recently drove it from South Carolina to Houston, Texas. Ran great! Averaged 14 to 15 mpg. But, I was doing about 55 mph the whole time. Kinda dangerous on todays highways! I read something...

Nice job! You going to show locally and maybe nationally?

Found the marks. Buried in a bit of corrosion. Thanks for the help guys!!! Have a good one!

Hey All, I have a 61 F100 with the 223 in it. I am trying to time the thing. I have a what looks to be a chalk mark on one part of the Crank pulley. I have an indentation that looks like a Chisel put it there on a different part of the pulley. No graduated marks at all. Can anyone give me some advic...

Wish I had your skills!!!

Are there any Slick fans in South Carolina??

Hey All! I am about to replace the 1 barrel Holley that came with my 61 F100. Any suggestions on what to replace it with? I want another 1 barrel carb. I have looked around the internet. haven't seen much on quality new 1 barrels??? Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!!!

Correct me if I am wrong?? I have only owned a 66 and 61. Both pretty original. The fuel tank was always silver. Never the color of the cab interior! Yes or no? I definitely think the truck has been restored! Still a very nice truck though!!!!!!

I agree with Iceman. I didn' tear anything down. Just removed the timing cover. However, given the trucks age. I didn't hurt to replace the things that I did.

Heading to Kuwait then Iraq. I will finish her up when I get back!

Hey All, Got her running yesterday. While double checking that I had the new coil hooked up correctly (Thanks R Pope). I discovered the negative wire running from the distributor to the coil was half way broken. Cuasing the weak spark. Fixed that and it fired right up! Thanks for the input. y'all ha...

Hey All, Here is my status. !961 F100, 223 6 cylinder, 87,000 original miles. Drove it to and from the gas station (5 miles) about 4 months ago. Turned it off and it would not start. I have replaced everything from the cap, rotor, plugs, wires, voltage regulator, coil, condensor, points. Plus a top ...

I was looking at that company. I appreciate the info on the rear brake kit as well.

Thanks Again!

Hope everyone is warm back in the States. It's cold here in the "Arctic Circle" (RUSSIA). I need some information from you experienced Slick 60s fans!!! Which company makes the best Manual Disc Brake Kit for a 61 stepside?? What is the difference between the rear brakes on a 61 and 66?? I ...

Hey All,

Does anyone know of a company that sells prebent/fabricated (tank to frame) fuel lines for a 1961 F100. I would also like to buy a new tank. If I can't find a new tank. I will seal this one like I did my 66 Custom Cab. Any and all help is appreciated!

I appreciate all of the advice/ replies to my questions. I am trying to order all of my parts from Russia. I will assemble when I get back to the U.S.! Thanks again!

Hey All, does anyone know of a reputable place that sells a high output 1 wire alternator that will fit my 61 F100 with a 223 inline six? I have also been all over the web looking for a seat cover like the one I had in my 66 years ago. Teal/ turquoise blue with a gear and lightning bolt on it. Anybo...

I haven't seen it personally. But, I bought it off of E-Bay while working in the "Arctic Circle" in Russia! Working on NABORS Rig 536. My brother (picked it up) swears it is in great shape! I'll keep all posted on how she turns out!

Hey All, I know most of what I am about to ask has been covered on this Forum! I recently bought my 15 year Bolt.gif old her first vehicle. It is a 61 F100. i need to put 4 wheel disc all around, T5 conversion and power assist (she will be a 16 yo girl when she starts driving it)! Any vendors or ide...
