What are the differences in the rear bumper and jambs? I never realized there were any.
I'm out of town for work so I can't confirm, but I seem to recall the side glass is right around 12".
I thought that was scary, too. I'm not a mechanical engineer, so who knows. I saved this link for future reference though. I though it was...
Don't forget about the clock if you've got one and the blower motor. I replaced my horn relay and horns, but a lot of guys don't from what I have...
Post some pics of your new toy.
What's under the taillights on this one?
What's below the taillights on this one?
Thanks for the pics. You made my day with the pic of the rear. I had forgotten the taillights were frenched until I saw it. It is definitely...
I bet it is. I found this at one point in time. http://www.cruisenewsonline.com/RiverRanchRodRun2005/50Mercury.html I looked them up on...
1986 K5 Blazer, the very same 700R4 is in my merc now.
It really does suck when you have something planned out in your head and it doesn't work out that way. I had Darryl do mine and they tell you up...
Overhaul manual shows the flat up.
My buddy just used SEM Pro-tex bedliner. It turned out very good.
Jim I can't imagine how scarey this is for your family. My heart goes out to you. You don't know the best kind of love until you have a child....
Thanks for the info. So the 0M-13208 part number is not a legit Ford part number?
When I bought my 50 it had clear plastic lenses that were pretty crazed. I looked at places like Mac's for replacements and found only clear...
I've been there and done that. I'm hoping I have better luck with the Igniter II than I did the Flamethrower II coil. It died after only 30...
Thank you Bruce. That more answers my question. I'm not up on autos, but I have some numbers when I talk to the shop. I know the 700r4 isn't...
Anybody else have any input? I'm guessing it would be around 3600 RPM since it should still be pulling up until then. Yes? No?
I beleive my TV cable is set up correctly and yes there is only one correct setting. It is not something you adjust. However, from what the...
How many RPM's does it rev to before shifts?
I did a search and found too little information to have a concensus. My 50 flathead is said to be 110 hp @ 3600 RPM and 200 ft. lbs. of torque @...
Thank you. Now it makes sense.
I can't picture it. Where do lowering blocks go in the front? Got a before pic?
I can't speak on sealing. It seems funny to seal a new tank, but it could very well add years and years of life to the tank. As for the sending...
I don't know about cool, but how about caddy hubcaps painted up like roulette wheels. Then attach a small rod to the spindle with a little ball...
Thank you sir. I'll probably live with the accuracy unless it is way off.
DrDave Can you or anybody else tell me if the stock speedo cable connection is just a standard 5/8"? I need to hook up between it and a 700R4....
Jimn3d What frame/suspension you running? It alomost looks like your rear shackles are stuck pointing down making your rear end ride high....
Sorry to hear about the damage, but at least you didn't have to try out their crash protection. The good news is you got to see whether you would...
