The frame will be supported by the lift arms on the lift.

Also my original spring that's in the car is wrapped in tin, the used replacement spring I'm putting in is supposedly out of a 46 as well but is not wrapped in tin. Is there any ryme or reason to the 2 different styles? Thanks Dennis

Thanks fellas, I appreciate all the quick responses. I have a lift and plan to do this with the car up in the air and screw jacks supporting the axle unless anyone has advice otherwise. Also as mentioned before the whole reason for doing this is because the car sets about 2" lower on the left...

Im getting ready to swap out the front spring on my 46 and Ive heard some buzz about needing a spring spreader...is there any way around this or is it absolutley necessary? If its a must where do I get one or can I make "something" work? What is the best way to tackle this....drop the front...

Looking for a nice usable 1967-1972 F100 or F250 step side LONG bed complete or any info on where to get sheet metal to patch what Ive got. All obvious suppliers have been checked and apparently only short bed sides are available. Please PM me here or call (765)621-5000 anytime if no answer...

Im restoring a 68 F100 2WD Stepside long bed and im not having any luck finding bedsides or any other LONG bed specific parts. Complete beds can be bought new but for short beds only. Does anyone know of a source to get parts or perhaps have a nice complete bed for sale? Any help is...

Sorry...posted in wrong section

I think you fellas must be part of the chosen few.....

Scott / Trevor.... This is copied and pasted from a previous thread I had posted on from 06/05/2014: I washed my hands of Macs a couple months ago...customer service is horrible at best. After placing a $500 online order for various parts and receiving the order, I noticed the idler arm was...

Andy, It does have a grease zerk in the middle of the torque tube...sounds like ive likely got a 6 spline. Thanks a million! Dennis

Hello Fellas, Ive got a 46 Super Deluxe and im ordering all parts needed to do an open drive conversion. My question is do I need a 6 or 10 spline yoke? I realize I could pull the old one off to check but I would rather have all parts gathered before I tear into it. Any help is appreciated...

My 46 is stamped on the frame rail where the steering box mounts. It was completely invisible until I went to town with some gas and scotch bright and still had a heck of a time....

My honest .02 is if the price is reasonable I think you definitely would have a market. The electro drive S10 T5's are still very plentiful while the mechanical drives are starting to get scarce. Now that you have it completed and know what it is going to take do you have a rough idea on price...

The only thing that's "amazing" here is regardless of who originally started the post, the fact of the matter is so far there has been well over 100 examples of why NOT to buy from these clowns and your the first to come sliding in on the defense team....just out of curiosity, have you even...

Solution seems quite simple...everyone jump on the "Boycott Mac's" train and they will eventually get the message. Ive already tried the kooth route of addressing my problems calmly with customer service, in which a SUPERVISOR basically told me to get bent and that they have hundreds of...

You need to call and talk to Chris... they don't have all inventory listed on the website. The center section can be used up through 55 or 56 ish but you must swap over the axles as well... the carrier is a different spline. I'd be willing to bet shoebox-central.com has a good used center...

Shoebox Ford as we once knew it no longer exists. Supposedly the owner is still selling parts piece by piece out of his garage but this is just rumor and hasnt been confirmed as far as I know. The only thing that is for sure is the former place of business is no longer. Another great source is...

Shoebox Ford stock gear ratios are as follow: 3:73 standard (non/OD) 3:92 standard station wagon (non/OD) 4:11 standard (with O/D) 4:27 station wagon (with O/D) 3:31 Fordomatic 3:54 Fordomatic (optional but less common) To my knowlege there are no NOS gears available with the exception of I...

From a business standpoint, I believe they would come out ahead if discounts were offered over a certain dollar amount spent. For example...I buy parts from Summit Racing all the time and the majority of the time they offer free shipping on orders over $99 which encourages people to buy more to...

I washed my hands of Macs a couple months ago...customer service is horrible at best. After placing a $500 online order for various parts and receiving the order, I noticed the idler arm was missing. Due to being in a time crunch to get the car back together, I contacted them the next day and...
