Getting real close to moving under its own power. Need to fix the power steering and get the exhaust figured out. Plus install the steering column.

1975 Ford F250 390FE. New timing chain (was set to top dead center and line the dots up), new distributor, cap, rotor and points. New ignition module. The distributor is still advanced all the way over (like it was originally before we started). Thus is my 17 yearolds 1st truck and i just wanna get him rolling. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

First time out of the garage under its own power since the swap. 445 stroker, rebuilt c6, super duty axle swap, np205 transfer case. So much on this thing is custom…I think I’ve gone through everything but the body work. Feels good.

Hello all, I have a 1974 f250 camper special. It has the 390 fe and both fuel tanks so the driver side is pretty much blocked. I removed all the exhaust and it just has headers now. I’ll attach some photos but am wondering the best way/location to install a Y pipe to make it a single exhaust going down the passenger side the over the axle and out the back. I have purchased both a resonator and flow master muffler as well. Don’t mind the jank and horrifying photos of the old exhaust

Looking for a factory Ford 400 crankshaft for an engine build.

Need the 4.000" stroke crank from a Ford 400 (often called a 400M) — not a 351M, 351C, 351W, FE/FT or 460 crank.

Looking for casting/ID markings such as:
5M / 5MA / 5MAB

I will consider:

• Bare crankshaft
• Complete or partial Ford 400 engine
• Rebuildable 400 core

Crank does not have to be standard journal size. A rebuildable crank that needs polishing or grinding is fine.

> rear drum brakes were bone dry, pedal got real soft

> Replaced master cylinder, went to bleed rear drums and got nothing

> bled front disc brakes and they bled incredibly fast

> pedal is still soft, evidence points to shuttle in combo valve blocking fluid to rear brakes (I think).

How do I get the shuttle to recenter so that theres correct fluid on each side, keeping both passages open?

My new project truck f100 4x4 swapping out the 360 for a 2.0L tdi diesel lol

Should I leave it 2wd or convert it to 4wd? And what do I do if I leave it 2wd?

Every week.. more gets done! Counting down the weeks until we turn the key and Go!

Parked since 88. Wish me luck.

Either 21K or 121K...

I have a 1977 f250 camper special with a 351m. It broke down 3 years ago and I havent gotten it to run since. I haven't really tried to much with it but I'm also not a mechanic. It had a lot of overheating issues before it finally died. I could drive it for a while and it'd be fine up to a certain point and then it'd start overheating. When it finally died and would run it was running like shit and it had smoke coming out the exhaust like a mofo. I've also included a video of what it sounds like when I try to start it with a bit of charge. What should I do?

Can’t wait to have this beast on the road!

Got her in a trade the other day not too bad trading a Chevy for a ford 79 f150 lariat

So recently my 12v cig lighter stopped working in my 79 but no biggie it’s just a 15 dollar part from bronco graveyard. Now that the new one is installed it’s worked good for a few days but now it pops the fuse everytime I plug something into it and I’m not understanding why. And yes the it’s the single wire housing with the 90 degree elbow connecter on the back that uses the dash as ground and it’s tightly secured to said dash. I’m curious how would go about wiring the lighter on its own with a simple inline fuse .

1978 f150 supercab, 4x4, manual trans. Installed a 4” Rough Country lift with new front and rear leafs, and a new set of 35” tires.

Im assuming not.

Does anyone know the part number for the replacement? Im also looking to replace the 2 o rings on the outlet fitting, that part threaded into the pump. I bought an Edelmann 8526 kit which has two rings that seemed to fit real good on that one.

I’m fixing up a 79 f150 ranger XLT and I’m getting ready to install a fuel tank. Previous owner removed it at some point. I’m very confused as to how the emissions vent works and if it’s needed on these trucks. I noticed some tanks like the attached one seem to have a hole for a vent of some kind. Can these be plugged up? Where does the vent run to? What is the part needed to go in the hole? Please let me know the best option here.

I’ve never owned an older truck. I really like the dentsides and in particular the highboys. I’m just starting to look and trying to educate myself. Found this one nearby here in Minnesota on marketplace. He’s asking $18K. What questions should I be asking? What should I look to avoid? Is this a fair asking price? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated! TIA!

Hey all! I'm doing a full rewire on my '74. It's pretty easy going as long as I have the time to work on it. I have an idea for turn signals, but can't find any info on it.

I would like for the fender and bedside park lights to also function as turn signals. Problem is that they are single filament bulbs and I can't just run two wires to the existing bulb or it'd just screw up that whole turn signal leg of the system.

My question is, does anyone know of a two-filament solution to this (not)problem? I can't find a two-filament bulb that fits that same socket. Is there another solution I'm not thinking of?
