out here in the Oak Harbor/anacortes washington area there are a lot of old 60's fords running around..I really need to print out some of those business cards I saw here someplace

:) if its BEER you want may I suggest Anacortes Washington?... http://www.anacortesrockfish.com/ anywhere from 12 to 16 home made beers on tap at all times, a few bottled non-beers as well. Hit it during bike run and it would be insane..course theres also a car show each year that would be a good ti...

and if no ones been a smartass...if the problem happens when you back up hills....don't back up hills


now to read the next two pages

yeah..jayhawkers are a nasty lot.... but then I have to admit to being one by birth

:D fun part about the plains out there is it takes very little snow to close a road, if the wind is blowing the right way. Grew up out there and as little as 6 inches can cause the biggest headaches...years ago we were elk hunting and the plains got 6 inches, roads closed in 4 states for days, DIA (...

:lol: The resolution was to NOT bring more toys home...too many as it is. And I figure I can drive it as the 86 while I do the body work on the 66... One idea we have been toying with is to convert it to propane which likes a higher compression (apx13:1), so rebuild would be in order to take it from...

Saw an add months ago on a white 86 F150 with a 300I6, at that time I was looking to beef UP my 66 F250, not making her "lighter", Ideas came and went with me and a coworker throwing ideas at each other and the base idea was a straight 6 built for speed/fuel econ. Ran into the add again ye...

Haven't dragged any new toys home...yet....still looking though

ummm..ouch?

I'm seldom offended by anything, though I do feel sorry for those that have something not FORD in the truck..however seeing all the different ways people do things is always fun. now to just figure out how to french in the tail lights

think I'll stick to my first thought..parts

oddly I WAS wondering what a late 80's would be called.... not a real truck huh

Not wanting to get involved in whatevers going on, but.... I'm a wide open minded purest...though I delve into trying to convince my chevy friend into putting a ford motor into his 58 chevy pickup...just for the WTH factor

:P hey Debauchee over here in Oak Harbor WA, I have roughly the same plan on the whole rewire thing... waiting on a book now that should help as when I started rewiring it looked simple, then after I started things looked wrong, well odd anyway... wires to nothing, wires that should be hooked up, bu...

Matt it looks like you are fabbing everything but the wheel fenders..nice idea to a lengthy problem

I plan on keeping that in mind (steering box), however I haven't heard back so for that LTD it may be moot.

As for the a3a I found that in a thread here someplace...at 129 i'm only 8" off, which is still pretty doable.

*LOL* ok, though off hand I can't think of to many that had the box in front of the wheels...but I'll add that question to the email list of questions I have for the guy.

I'm open to changes however I do have a long bed, though a buddy of mine likes the looks of the short/stepside...and hes a chevy fanboy.

Thanks, that will come in handy

the first was based on a short slick, mines a full sized..that said the numbers I can find say its(LTD) 10" shorter than my long bed....121 vrs 131.

Now to play with a pencil and paper and see if taking 10" off the bed looks to wrong
