Re: The forgotten 1960 Fords
Numbers matching is chevy talk, there is no such thing in the Ford world other than having consistent date codes. Not the same though.
When I was young, I didn't think much of a 60, pretty ugly...

Re: 56 Ford F100 New Project - Engine Questions
Personally I think those heads are over rated or at least over priced. The earlier ones are not posted. I'm looking for the 58-early 59, 113 heads. Same big valves, a little less compression and all...

Re: '57 F-100 Gas Gauge

Re: '57-'60 F100 questions
None of those doors or panels were ever upholstered new. Also look on the bottom side of the door. This is where any rust will start.

Re: '59 F-100 bolt pattern
I've probably got a couple sets of the correct 15" wheels for a 59 F100. Not worth much if you drove in my yard but they do bring ok money plus shipping on ebay. Also have a set of bottle cab hubcaps...

Re: Need water pump rebuilt or to purchase
About a year ago I needed a pump for my 59 pickup. The 3/4" shaft were unobtanium. I finally found a couple places that still had NOS and paid through the teeth for one. I must have found a dozen...

Re: Looking for Ford F-100 sites
Yup, I'm a regular over there and the 47 earlier crowd is a great bunch of guys. Not many of them butchering stuff. I don't hang out much in the 48-56 crowd, don't own any of those.

Re: Not Late V8: '80 T-Bird problem
This is best and a method I use on every old car I bring in. The worst part is what to do with 10-15 gallons of rotten gas and your clothes that now smell like it.
