Thank you for the link. Moving on.

The 390 in my 72 F-250 developed a crack in the intake manifold. I've sourced another but the part numbers do not match. Both are 4 bbl's. I understand that the difference may be non matching port sizes which would result in rough running. Can anyone recommend a site where I might determine...

thanks for the feedback. I have a 302/AOD in my 54 Ford sedan and am quite happy with it. I don't have much in the truck so I think I'll just let sleeping dogs lie and use it for occasional use on the property and dump runs.

I acquired a 72 F-250 4x4 with rebuilt 390 about two years ago. It runs very strong. I've used it as work truck on my property mostly. When used on moderate road trips I realized what horrible gas milage I was getting (7-10). The truck is developing other issues which I really don't want spend...

Can anyone recommend a tire mfg. for my 54 tudor? It's a retro mild custom with skirts. I plan to use the original steel wheels. I don't think I can go larger than 670/15's radials and still get the skirts on. I few years back I was hearing bad things about Coker's quality control. I want to...

Can anyone recommend a speedo cable that will give an accurate reading from my 89 Lincoln AOD trans to the original 54 sedan speedometer?

Ford started this model year with the top of the line Fairlane 500. If I recall the Galaxie was not introduced until after the new year. The major change was the modification of the roof that mimicked the T-bird. I seldom see the early 500 models. Do they have a greater or less value to the...

Does anyone have a good source for exterior S/S molding clips. The originals have vanished. Hoping supplier can furnish as a whole car package. Thanks, Ken

Years ago firms like JC Whitney used to sell 55/56 olds tail light lens that were a simple swap into 52 through 54 ford housings. Does anyone know if they are still available anywhere? Thanks, Ken

I recently bought a 1973 F-250 4x4 which I'm going to rebody my 56 International on to. The 73 has reworked 390 ahead of a C6. I needs power steering or I need much bigger arms. Anyone know what years are bolt ons for this series?.....do's and don'ts?.....cautions? Thanks, Ken
