I have a 65 F100 and I just got back from the Super Nationals where I bought Twin I beam and disc set up from a 79 F100. Anyone done this type of swap and can clue me in on pitfalls I may run into????

Sorry Paul Im a rookie...IMO?

Ok I think my core support is too far gone to spend the time and money on repairing.....MAC's, LMC claim they have a re-pop, but the part number is clearly from a 66. Anyone have any advice on which way I should go? I heard battery mount is different and also where the core attaches to the fender co...

Hey Iam putting this 390fe back together....cam is in. now its time for the main caps. any advice on seal instal and type of ATV to use. I bought the black and the clear. I was told to put some between main cap and block surface to the outside of where the seals are. Im looking for some experience, ...

trying to read the shop manual on a 352 fe. Trying to remove the heads. rocker arm shaft assembly/oil baffles......kind lost. says I need to start with #4 and loosen in sequence two turns at a time so not to damage valve mech. And do I need to purchase the tool....T58P-6085-A or 6085M (cylinder head...

One thought: You want to get all the machine work completed that needs to be done on the block and crank before ordering a kit. That way you get the right size bearings and pistons. old.gif Unfortunately that is not good advice. You never get the parts after the machinework is done. The machinist n...

I got the day off and my uncle is coming over to help me pull out the engine of my 1965 F100. Its a tired 352 FE. Is there a rebuild kit to give this engine new life...Cam, lifters, and all the goodies Ill need to bring it back stock.....no big improvements to make it a Rod, just want it like new. A...

Ok, i have ruled out the idea of having a "BUILT" hot rod motor in my 65 f100. but the 352fe needs a boost. It is untouched and a 200HP boat anker. I want to get rid of the 2bbl and stock cast intake. Any suggestions on a aluminum intake 4bbl set up that will be better on gas when my foot ...

Thanks for your feedback!!! I like the bonding idea and save some $

I have some trim in ok shape......off of my 65 f100. what is the best way to referbish them. bends and dents are obvious but if i get the shape back what are you guys using to shine and clean it?

the truck has a leaking freeze plug. must figure that out first. I have decided to wait on painting the truck and body work till tax returns are in.... :lol: As for the 2,000 I knew it was a start. I was hoping it would be a decent driver off the flatbed but I was dissapointed. Clutch needs attentio...

I recently had delivered my 1965 F 100 from Georgia. I don't know where to start. I think because moneys is tight and because the tires were dry rotted I should put new tires on the Innie wheels that I got from the same seller. The rims need cleaning and painting. the question is should I drop the c...

Wow impressive. The truck I'm getting has much to do with the bed floor and has no tailgate. Ugh! Guess Ive got alot of learning and work ahead of me.

Sorry it's a short bed 1965 f100. Early model.

Ok... Be gentle I'm very green to this truck stuff. I am in the process of buying a 1965 ford f100. It's in pretty good shape but the bed floor is really ruff. I don't see a fix using wood available unless it's a step. So how can one replace the metal bed using the same type of original material? He...
