What's can I use off of a 79 on my 65?

Post by fishtank »

I've got a 79 F-100 long bed that I am going to be parting out. Other than the disc brakes and master cylinder, what can I use on my slick? The 79 is a I6/3 on the tree.

You can use the power steering system and the steering column. The seat will bolt into the 65 also. I would recommend the 300 engine also.
If you drove a Ford, you wouldn't need a good wrench!

Well I'm not lucky enough to have one with power steering or brakes. So far all of the things listed I don't need. Figures don't it! The column is no better that the one in the 65 and I already have a rebuilt 302 waiting to go in.

How similar are the wiring harnesses? The one in the 65 is sketchy at best. Does anyone know if the fuel tank out of the 79 will fit the 65's frame?

My 302 is a 79 model. Will the bellhousing of the 3 speed bolt up? What about the 65's 3 speed?

Thanks for the help.

Cant use the tanks that go between the frame because in 73 they widened the frame behind the Cab. ie the tank will be to wide.
