    Hello Members with Medium duties

    I am happy with my 1979 crewcab F-600 last year of that bodystyle, but a 1998 is the last year of that cab, So I want to have another crew to go with it. The super singles look great, and the regular cab with a dually bed will look sweet! crewcabs have a terrible turning radius btw...

    When I finally score a 1998 F-800, I will do pretty much exactly that, except add a crewcab.

    Have you used or even heard of this fuel additive?

    Tractor Supply Co sells it, our local store moves quite a few each week. at $50 a shot, it better be good. they have some fuel additives too, but the oil additive flies off the shelf there.

    Hello Members with Medium duties

    Since I posted those pictures in here, we moved from CA to MO the truck hauled all our worldly possessions (77,000 lbs truck/trailer/load) - we eh, "avoided" scales after we found out. The truck served me well as a rolling billboard as I ran for US Congress and I still get it out and drive it...

    70's F-500/F-600 with C-6 trans

    I have lots of little trucks for various parts, but the pickup door handles are impossible to open on a bigger truck, because you are below them. the floorplan, and steering column are wildly different also. the reason I'm looking for one with a C-6 is I can use those original parts to use...

    70's F-500/F-600 with C-6 trans

    anybody know where one can be found? I want a parts truck with this combo, or really just the steering column and all the linkage. I want to put a E40D in the F-600, but finding one from an F-superduty F-450 (because it has the E-brake on the tailshaft) is getting hard to find, the only one I've...

    70s F-600/700 brake drums

    I'm going hunting today for axles after work. if I can get two complete axle assemblies, I'll be ahead I think. I wonder if later years rear axles will bolt up? I'm assuming that 68-79 is it for front axles from what I'm told.

    70s F-600/700 brake drums

    I'm going to disasemble the other axles, to see if teh hubs will work but they appear to be 16 inch, and much wider. the rear drums have a rockwell logo on them. both trucks have rockwell rear axles.

    70s F-600/700 brake drums

    I have a set of HD F-7000 axles, but they have air brakes. I wonder if they can be converted to Hydraulic? I actually have all the stuff to convert to airbrakes, but that seems too hard...

    70s F-600/700 brake drums

    thanks for the link, I'll keep that for reference when I get ford parts numbers. I want 10-bolt rims to make it easier and cheaper to get rims and tires, plus I can put taller tires to help overcome the 6:17 gears out back, Alcoa 22.5/24.5s are cheaper than 6-bolt steelies as well...

    70s F-600/700 brake drums

    I want to convert my 6-bolt F-600 into a 10-bolt F-700. I looked at the parts book, and Hydraulic brakes F-700s have teh same three sizes of brakes same bearings and seals. I have also been told that the two axles are teh same and only a brake drum swap stands in my way. but I cant...

    Hello Members with Medium duties

    modesto is a great place, used to drive through there a lot. heritage ford will (or would) give you lifetime tires and oil changes on a powerstroke purchased there... (if it werent 100 miles away, I'd go for it... I also remodeled the Beverly Fabrics over there a few years ago...

    Hello Members with Medium duties

    the 73-79 F-mediums used the 67-72 pickup dash. the A/C on thee trucks in added under the dash, not incorporated into the dash like more modern trucks. so I have to get a 67-72 add-on A/C unit to get air in there. vintage air still offers the normal under dash A/C but its not cheap.
