Re: 1965 F100 Front Bed Panel Style Side

Re: 1965 F100 Front Bed Panel Style Side

I would gladly buy one too if it was available.i've looked everywhere and have yet to find one.i've got a perfectly good longbed that I've been putting off hacking up just to get the front panel off of it.

Re: my shipwrecked '63

it looks by the grooves in the yoke you might need a new yoke as well.it can cause the tailshaft seal to leak.

Re: Power steering box differences

I hope you have better luck with that ccp kit than I did.my friend ordered one for his 66 mustang and the booster was bad out of the box.we never could get a brake pedal because of all the slack in the booster.

Re: Making power out of a 302

the gt40p heads off of explorers are decent but you need to get the manifolds with them or aftermarket headers as the spark plug angle is slightly different than standard 302 heads.my local pick n pull is full of these.i seen 4 different complete 302 explorer motors last month when I was there.

Re: Glueing truck together

my friend works in a body shop and they regularly glue roof skins,quarters,door skins on.i've watched him take roofs and doors skins off and most of the new cars are factory glued together.he said it's faster and less likely to warp anything instead of welding.
