my drivers side seat came from a 67 ford camper truck, mustang style and the passenger side from an old bronco.the passenger seat in bronco is a flip forward seat, meaning the front is on a hinge and besides folding the back forward, you can flip the whole seat over forwards with the top of the back...

the longbed uni is an almost direct bolt up on the 66 f250 4x4 frame.the wb of the uni is 2" longer than the f250 4x4. not sure if you are the one who e-mailed me about spears but if so i found it in my junk email box and sent a reply.

so many slicks, so little time. 3 4x4s running, 2 more in construction, a uni and a 64 fairlane too.cant tell you how many times the wife has complained about the whiplash suffered from my hasty turns into anyplace i see a slick.she thinks i have some gift (not the word she uses)for seeing, smelling...

i have several used sets of f100 and 250 spears.

take a measurement of the inside of the tires before starting the job to give yourself a reference. make sure when you take the center rod out that you keep note of the left and right side because of the threads being different. loosen the clamps and turn the rod to loosen before removing the ends f...

a few facts for those interested
Alaska is the only state without any interstate or US highways.less than 50 miles total in the entire state of expressway roads.

still happy with the crate FE i bought a few years back.for the $1600 it cost me ,i would do it again, and the company was excellent to deal with.

either way a 4x4 conversion is work.i have done several, many were 67-72 style. with different cab/frame years the mounts and the steering column hole are the bigest things to deal with. i was and still am contemplating a uni 4x4, on a highboy frame.since my uni is already cut in half, at the roof p...

i have the nylon gear i saved from a 3.25 truck.i will see if i can find it.i think its still attached to the cable too.

Tim described my problem perfectly.still have not had the time to deal wiht that.
you mentioned the 6.5 for a stock engine, i have a 390 bored to +.080 and and edelbrock streetmaster 390 manifold.guess i will have to get a vac gage hookedup after rebuilding the carb.

i think $80 is a bit steep for that, considering the amount of towtrucks in the big H.
$50 is more like it.
dont lock your keys in your truck, i charge $65 minimum, more if its over 15 miles.i can open a new ford truck almost as fast as you can with the key.

Gene, i set mine to be always logged in.have not had any problems flipping back and forth.on msn i always had to log in every time i closed the window, this is much better.

Dan, i was told that a backfire would blow the power valve in a holley.not sure about the vaccuum thing, might be related.all i can tell you is my 65s carb runs way too rich, you can see the black when you stomp on it.i ordered a kit , picking it up today. it used to get a fair milage considering th...
