Re: Bolting Up A 65/66 2WD Slick Cab To A 73-79 2WD Chassis

Did some on line reading and a phone call to the Texas DMV. So far there is no legal way around having to adopt the frame vin to the cab. To be continued....... You may want to dig a little deeper in the TDMV Motor Vehicle Title manual. They have "cleaned up" the process. Ford vehicles '3...

Other than the 25 grand that side step would worry me! Often that indicates a torque box not correctly repaired or removed.

Re: Converting 65 Or 66 Long Wheel Base To A Short Wheel Ba

Be careful on the Fordification frame swap info! It contradicts both Keith's Ford-sourced prints and those found in reputable frame manuals.

Re: Bolting Up A 65/66 2WD Slick Cab To A 73-79 2WD Chassis

As Tom stated; and it is getting tougher all the time! Luckily in Texas there is a mechanism in place but it's involved and you are likely to end up with a rebuilt title. Now back to the basics; despite what is posted on a normally reputable website; there are several misconceptions.The wheelbase IS...

Re: harder to find: 65 radiator or unicorn?

O' Reilly's parts house has a radiator for the bumpsides that has bolted on flanges, easily reversed for the '65 core. It's well under $200.00.

Re: Wiring fire

Be sure to do the relay mod. The old original headlamps were a maximum of 50 watts, most modern replacements are 55/60. this can overload the switch and integral circuit breaker under the best of conditions. Replacement harnesses are available from many sources, so shop around. There is a vast diffe...

Insert key in cylinder and rotate key to ACC position. Place the lock and key in the switch, depress a pin (straightened paper clip, e...
