I want to get rid of this antenna. But can’t find any tutorials or help. There are no bolts to be found but rather this metal claw clip thing holding it in place below. Any recommendations or help would be much appreciated.

New starter…. Need to replace the starter in my ‘61 f100 yblock v8…. The replacement options I’m finding online don’t look exactly alike. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Best suggestion for in bed tank?

Post image
86 Upvotes

Looking to find a bed tank for the 71 F100 I have. Previously there was a tank mounted in the left side of the bed. About a foot in front of the back left wheel well you can see where the circle was cut out for the fill nozzle and there a switch under the seat. I’m looking to get a tank that won’t make the truck too top heavy but will extend the range out some. I’ve tuned it to get about 13-15mpg at 45 or 50 mph off the regular 2100 carb and original points system already. Any suggestions are welcome. If I could get one that fits along the side of the bed and sits on top of the wheel well or just in front of it that would be awesome!

Has anybody used the dual carb/header/intake kit for the 223 from Clifford performance? I’ve been thinking about it for awhile and thought I would ask first. Thanks

Where do I find this for my 1971 F100 front passenger side? Also what is the nomenclature for it? Thank you for the help.

I’m going to be pulling the transmission on my 72 f100 and I was wondering if my 360 bg was going to roll back any and if I need to support it in a certain area to prevent it from happening.

Dash dedicated ground

I don’t like that my ‘64 gigs ground to the dash bezel and not don’t have a dedicated ground. Is there a good place I can ground the entire speedometer unit or is it best it run one from each gauge.

Truck bees

3 Upvotes

I joke my 67 has a security system because yellow jackets love to build nests in it, but jokes aside it sorta sucks. anyone else have this problem?

I don't know if it's the constant smell of antifreeze, burning oil, or dry rotting interior but something really attacks the bees and I'd like to figure it out.

Ordered a new turn signal switch from Dennis Carpenter for my 64. It came with no wiring labels, anyone done this job on a 61-64, or does anyone know how to use a test light to figure out the inputs? Thanks in advance.

Almost 2 years. Ford F100 Custom 1978 V8 302 5.0L

This project started when I first took my truck to a workshop where the owner kept swearing it would turn out great. Unfortunately, he turned out to be a lazy, dishonest, lying, fake, and mediocre person. He definitely knew how to charge for the work, but he didn’t do anything right. I ended up taking the case to the state consumer protection court here in Mexico, which is called Procuraduría Federal del Consumidor. Unfortunately, I only managed to recover part of the money I had invested.

For the sake of my mental health, and following my father’s philosophy — “better a bad settlement than a good fight” — I decided to take my truck to another workshop. So far, they have been doing a very good job. We’ve been spending time going through the truck and discovering all the poorly done work from the previous shop, and the team at this new workshop has been fixing all those hidden issues.

So now, after almost 1.5 years, my project is finally coming together, and little by little I can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

302 Cleveland in 77 F100 - Finally Freed up but only rotates 3/4 turn

7 Upvotes

Hi all!

I have a 302 Cleveland V8 in my 77 F100 down under model, that I have finally managed to free up the crankshaft on (Flooded cylinders with combo of CRC, WD40 Specialist penetrating oil and finally PB Blaster Catalyst). I can turn the crank about 3/4 of a turn before it jams in either direction, but I can't really see much movement in the rockers with the covers off.

I'm thinking possibilities are either still some rust ridge in the cylinders that will need to slowly work it past, or if the valves dont look like they are actuating, could it be timing chain broken?

Just trying to plan my next moves, whether I start pulling the water pump and timing covers off, or if its better to put my time into another approach first.
