Are you using a kit or did you source those springs and fab up the rest? I might could give it a go at fabricating the mounts, but i don't have...
Don't know for sure about the mounting, but those are 59 spears. The center emblem looks right for a 60; 59s had FORD block letters in a big...
That's usually blamed on worn kingpin bushings or tie rod ends, I believe. I bought mine with a bent tie rod and sloppy pins; it was certainly a...
I don't recall the exact dimensions, but the early C4 (84-87) have different offsets from the later cars. The overall track should be pretty...

Weren't those gauges in the heavy trucks and cab-overs? Seems like you could replicate them with some clever graphics and the restored gauges...
Where do I get a big version of that van cartoon?? Awesome.
I like your taste. :cool: I've got the rear trim rings and some peep mirrors on mine since this photo. [IMG]
Mine isn't terribly clever, but I've been stealing them from all over the place for a little while, including here. In slow, out fast. In...
Judging by the pics found on a thread here: http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/search.php?searchid=3493191 the earlier king pins appear to have a...
Something like this is what I'm planning for my 59F100 T5 install, but I'm going with a mid 80s Ranger m/c. Its cheaper and less obvious...
There's a mighty cool one here: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5976379&postcount=49
Those are aftermarket aluminum GT40s from Ford. I don't think they were ever on a real car....
I used to be a Corvette driver and I'm quite fond of this. Super cool!
Don't forget to take that 130-U form with you and get it signed by the seller/trader. They'll boot you right out of the window at the DMV without...
My 59 has a 302, but you don't really want to look at it. Spray bombed orange-ish in the truck so it dripped down the rusty headers. Erson chrome...
Wait, you mean we're supposed to check stuff occasionally??:confused: What nerve... There are times (mostly on fancy show and magazine cars)...
I'll join the no-gasless-flux-core crowd. When used on thicker material it has a place, but sheetmetal is not that place IMO. Gas + solid wire =...
This might be helpful. I don't know any dimensions other than what's shown here. [IMG] [IMG]
I can't add too much new info that's not on here already, but I do have a concern about folks 'annealling' and 'tempering' things at home. I tend...
I gave $3k for my truck and I'm sitting right at $5450 today. Saved all the receipts from mail order junk (front discs, steering, crossmembers)...
58Custom touched on it, but the Explorer heads can be GT40 (96-mid98) or GT40P (98-end), but neither are aluminum. Don't hang me on those years,...
Four years after my 60 took off, I drug this 59 home Friday. It's a driver except that the steering is too loose for anything over about 40mph....
Chrome spiders and bullet caps, methinks. I like Hellbilly's post above yours too. Flake roof is groovy.
I've not fiddled with a GM setup so my apologies if this is all nonsense, but it might be similar. On the fox prop/combo valve there is a plug...
The accepted method for disc-braking a fox mustang is to "gut" the spring and piston from the stock prop valve and plug the rubber end. This...
