Re: 300 engine swap

Need to make a correction it is a 262 from a 64. Going into a 60 for someone in country music.

Re: 300 engine swap

Music city trucks on powernation TV are doing a story on a 223, guessing it should be airing soon. I don't know if it will be stock or built.

It might help with decision.

memorial Day

Hope everyone had a great day and remembered the reason for the day. Did a program at veteran's park this morning and poppy sales yesterday.

Didn't get the Slick or Skyliner out , don't want to take attention away from the reason for the day..

Re: Fasteners for door emblems

They are called barrel nuts. When I had a body Shop, I got them in a assortment of sizes but could be bought in 1 size packages . If you have access to an old shop
pre 2000 they might have some .

Re: What Year Of Heater Core Is Close To A Slick?

Thru 72 without factory air is the same except the tubes are longer. If you have a radiator shop the can recore yours, I used a core from a later LTD that was within 1/4 inch
and put my end with outlets on it and put it in Skyliner.

waterfront property

Had always heard how great waterfront property was, well sat, I sorta found out and it is hell. I live on one of highest hills in town and was stranded . Our little town will never be the same, all the older part is gone, and will never return. People will rebuild but it will never be the same. Johnny

Re: source for new tail light housings for 66

You can put up thru 72 as they are the same, just have backup lamp, but lens will fit. If you don't wire it no one will know.

Re: What parts can I use from a 1970 F100 on my 1966?

The short answer is that every thing you mention will swap over without alteration, with possible of having to shorten your drive shaft.

Re: long bed to short bed

To do it exact you would need to remove 14" in front of wheel and 6" rear of wheel. There was one on here that did only the front, I don't remember who,
it was a silver truck and looked good. If memory is correct he was a farmer, may have been from Ohio, In, Il.
