Yes up to '72 half ton should just about bolt right in. The bolt pattern is 5 x 5.5"
Don't the 8RT heads have greater cc volume than the 8BA, something closer to the 8CM? This would mean the 2 heads have different compression ratios.
I know I have made the statement that I read that the '51 column shift pickup gears will swap into the older boxes but you have to use the...
Sorry I was preparing the lengthy post as you were posting BigB. If you are looking for top shift then it makes your search a little more simple....
Here are some picts for you to see what I am talking about in my above post. Here is a pict that I snagged off ebay today. Its the pre '49 open...
This is an excellent place to learn about these engines and transmissions, keep searching. You do have lots of choices actually depending on what...
I started working on cars with my father just before E10 was required here in MN. One of the things I recall in the winters here in MN was the...
Barn Find, I have had that same discussion on Pimentel before with a coworker. Pimentel's was the only study to show this and after reading the...
+2 on this I think all the F100s with the 9" were setup like this. From the rear it looks nicer because the pumpkin is centered, but it will...
LOL but now Sears is selling Harbor Freight quality tools at Craftsman prices :)
I would think the horseshoe that is being referred to is the horseshoe shaped bracket that runs down the sides and under the radiator. It should...
Thanks Dale, I found some info that the F7 transmission was in fact a Clark Model 204VO. I will still have to do some searching to find picts of...
This was good help. I still think the trans is heavy duty 4 speed (T98) but I searched spicer and I got this site:...
My Dad picked up a '52 Ford 1/2 ton project. Initially, I identified the transmission as a heavy duty, probably a 4 speed, when he picked it up....
The pickup (1/2 ton) looks pretty nice and complete. The cheaper you get it the better obviously, but when I was looking at those trucks that one...
Bad news, my Dad parked the car for the winter and he doesn't have access to it until spring. I am not positive, but I think you cylinders should...
http://store.convertibleparts.com/63falccyl.html Check this out. Do your cylinders look like this, I assume not because your description suggests...
I will be at my Dad's place this weekend to do some duck hunting. I will see if I can get a look and some picts of how it is mounted. The picts...
I have a '65 repair manual. I know the '65 cylinders were different. It looks like they mounted at the top of the cylinder. There are a couple...
Sorry, my car is a hundred miles away right now at my Dad's place. I really don't remember exactly how they were mounted. I did the work on that...
A couple things. Some 1/2 tons also came with the HD 4 speed and there was a HD 3 speed in there as well. I don't know if these can be converted...
Yeah, I was really confused by the offset pinion AND the different length axles, but now it makes sense. The main point is that you don't have to...
I did a search and found a little info about the Bronco. I have played with the trucks some and only read about the cars. I always though it was...
It should also have the pinion offset from center, so the driveshaft will not fit well in the tunnel
Great info, this is what I was trying to say, Drive Em has the good info -- it really looks like he knows what he is doing :-) So from what...
I wasn't even sure if the early Mustangs had a 9", but that makes sense. If the Bronco has different length axles its because the driveshaft fits...
Did the Mustangs come with a 9", I think the Mustang was basically the same car? Is the Bronco set up like the 1/2 ton truck, if so it actually...
The bigger trucks like the tonner and bigger were basically the same cab and front sheet metal. The wheel openings were cut bigger to clear the...
I had to sell because of issues in the family so I can't get anything else for you, but this is what I found in my collection. My truck is a V8, I...
I think this is what swifster is specifically referring to. I never did understand how people could think that they could remove the original VIN...
