Sold my 64 shortbed and my 67 longbed. I have a very nice 1963 Ford F100 unibody long bed if anybody is interested. This is not perfect, but Runs, Drives and Stops, drives and rides like a car and is very reliable. Let me know if you are interested. It is currently posted on CraigsList Columbus, Ohi...

No idea that you could tighten the fan belt by replacing the front cab mounts...learn something new everyday on this site. :wink:

I'm in the process of correcting somebody's well intended attempt at installing a tilt column in my 64 F100. It's too high on the firewall and does not square up to the dash or the seat like it should. For some reason the old steering column floor cover plate is missing. I can see where it was, but ...

Been side tracked working on unhacking the brakes and steering column. I saved the cross braces because I may need to use them rebuild the top parts of mine. I have not decided to cut off the top of the donor braces or create repair parts from the bed sheet metal. If I don't use them you can have th...

This repair is in progress. I will add more pictures to the slideshow as this moves forward. I don't do this for a living so any pointers or suggestions are welcome. I used a 1987 short bed in good shape I bought for $100. This bed is built almost like the 64 bed expect for the cross braces under th...

I have a 64 6' style side with a bad floor. The front panel along the seam with the floor and the entire floor front to back are shot. I bought an 87 6' style side bed. Some time in the mid 80's Ford started making things out of galvanized steel or coating things with a glavanizing compound. This be...

There are two things you can use to clean up aluminum nicely assuming there is not paint or grease on it. One you can use the ETCHING version of Eagle aluminum wheel cleaner. This is a diluted version of tannic acid. It's in a pump bottle. Two buy rust remover from Eastwood, it's the same stuff. Thi...

I have not been following your adventure from the get-go so I'm not sure what you are up to. I suspect this has something to do with gas mileage. I tried something similar once in 1979, actually twice, but the second time does not count because I knew what to expect. I won't go into the boring detai...

BIG oil pan...

84 to 88 Camaro's are basically the same car. The front end setups vary slighlty by model V6, V8 or Z28. The donor appears to have been a 350 Z28. The springs are worn out and have twist in adjusters which set the ride height nicely, but I'd rather have just the springs do that which would also impr...

My 64 has a Camaro front end and it's time to replace the coil springs.

The front end is from an 84 to 88 Camaro.

What would be the best springs to use to get the best ride height and ride?

Thanks.

Two ways !! Not only did the job get stepped out, but the pix are very good !

Thanks.

Any idea what tool was used to cut out the patch panels and what gauge of steel was used 14 or 16 gauge?

VV

My floor panels need replaced.

Anybody do a thread on here with pix of what they did and how they did it?

I searched but didn't find anything.

Thanks.

No big hurry on the tank. I have not removed it yet. I can smell gas on the fill side down near the bottom of the tank. Not sure if I have a fill hose bad or not. I'll know when I get it out of the cab in the next week or so. Thanks for the help. Don, it sounds like you were going to buy a tank. Is ...

Don, Thanks for the offer, but Montgomery Ind is a 6 hour drive one way from here, about 400 miles. I am not in a big hurry for the tank. It's probably easier for you to ship from Ark than tote it to Ind and ship it from there. Please estimate shipping from Ark to 43334 and let me know what you come...

Don,

No idea if a 63 fits in a 64 or not.

Please estimate cost to prep and ship to 43334.

Thanks.

VV

Saw that too. Have not received a response to questions yet.

Thanks.

Need a good not leaking gas tank for a 64.

Thanks.

I'm located North Of Columbus Ohio.

A western or southern bed is a good solution but a little pricey.

I looked for the posting about using a newer bed floor but could was not able to locate it. Seems like that would be a good FAQ reference topic.

Thanks.

I have a 64 shortbed, not a step side, with some rust in the bed floor. The rust is along the front of the bed between the floor and front wall and in the floor just in front of the tailgate. This is rust through and large holes. Are there repair panels for bed floors or is it better to replace the ...
