Thanks, that's all I wanted to know!
Hey Brown Cow, do you mind sharing the specs on your wheels and tires from the previous page? Looks great!
What's your current axle ratio? If you've already got a 3.7x gear it won't be worth the cost to change to a higher gear (IMO of course). The OD...
My '55 (it's an F250, same idea though) with 302/C4 combo and 3.73 rear runs just a little higher in revs than I would prefer on the highway,...
Hooooooo boy, you're gonna love that 302! I'm just waiting on the day my C4 goes out so I can throw in an AOD. MAKE SURE YOU SET THE TV CABLE UP...
[IMG] That is all and good day.
You should be able to use a Runtz (or build your own). Do a search on Runtz and see what comes up. This is in reply to the last post before...
I'll have to play by ear and see where the truck's at, but if we're up and running I'm in! Sounds like a good time
Bandera huh? Can't wait to see how your seat turns out with that pic as a reference. Where'd you take it?
Hate to highjack, but what would be the maximum length of front yoke coming out of the gearbox that you would find acceptable?
The Chinese aren't operating domestically....
Hobart Handler 140 works great for me. Comes ready to use gas, but if you don't have a tank you can run flux core through it instead. Good deal...
Therrrrrre ya go... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=21543
If it was '53-'55 I'd say go for it, but the '56 is a unicorn and IMO looked perfect from the factory. I gotta vote no chop.
Man I actually really like that IHC with the rock crawlers, kinda looks like it belongs on a dirt track. BAD ASS.
Hey Rooster, let's see some more of that 54! I'd like to see how those tires fill out your wheel wells from the side...
The 302 in my F250 runs just under 3k rpm cruising on the highway at about 65-70, running a C4 (1:1 in 3rd gear), 245/75r16 tires and 3.73 in the...

I've been thinking about rebuilding the seat base on my F250 to include a storage drawer or two, very nicely done.
That is an amazing combination! (though probably not HAMB friendly and I'm sure you'll hear about it) Oh, right.... Welcome!
I saw your other builds and was quite impressed with those, but as a 302/5.0 fan, this really does it for me. Awesome work, sir.
I believe Fat Lucky is in Dallas or Austin now, he's on the HAMB and I'm sure you could drop him a line. Definitely worth the conversation at...
"The" 35... el oh el. Don't think I've ever heard it called that before. Good on you for offering this though, that gave me a good chuckle. You...
Yup, do all that. If it still isn't enough, pick up a 3" drop axle from Sid, top quality stuff. For the rear you can put the axle on top of the...
Couple yards of dirt, no big deal :D
I thought I did read the whole thing, must have missed it! Edit: Yup. Bold AND Italics. "Note: This forum is actually the old “General...
Just a quick question about implementation....will there be a moderator managing all of the old threads and making sure everything is put in the...
Bravo, Ryan. Job well done.
Says a self proclaimed FordFanatic??? Holy bejesus, what is the world coming to.... Though I do agree. You already have the 350, run it!
And a big thanks to manjusri for 'shopping up the drop and wheels for me. Hopefully this is how she sits after the drop axle. The rivets in the...
