I kinda like how this thread contains both of your builds. I'll go ahead and say it, another vote for keeping the stock stripings on the F100. It's just a shame it's not a '78 or '79 Dodge truck, then you could go for the Lil' Red Express or Warlock clone. It looks real nice though, as does the birdy.

Post by: HAVI on May 15, 2008, 08:42:35 PM

if it's 2wd, it's quite possible to break a 9" axle. They are mostly 28 splines. It's the 4x4's that got 31's. But still, it take quite a bit to break one. Sometimes asphalt isn't forgiving, lol.

I should also mention some F100's in the 70's had dana 44's in the rear.

Exactly, it must be a 2wd with 28 splines. I've had a 9" Detroit Locker in my 1969 Torino 428CJ since I bought it in 1978 and it has been perfect. It's a 4.11 and has seen a bazillion trouble free launches in the last 30 years. It's a 31 spline though.

Title: My F-100
Post by: HAVI on May 16, 2008, 05:59:59 PM

Heck I'd go 35 splines and a detroit locker, or equivalent. Then really smoke'em!!

Honestly, though, another 4x4 complete axle might be the way to go...typically they cost $100 used. IIRC, you'll need the wider U-bolt plate to line up with the 4x4 axle pad. 4x4's had 3" wide springs and the 2wd's had 2.5" springs.

You'll end up with a 3.55 gear, too....possibly w/traclock

hell my 9 inch is out of a station wagon, joys of it 3 inch wide rear drums, drags the assend of the stang to a stop MUCH faster then stock, my dad had it shortened and custom cut axles put in, with a traclock, and 4.11's. When I drive the car I'm not easy on it, and my dad pushes it, and we cant seem to hurt anything but the t-5! That rear takes everything and anything!

Butt,I hate lapping seams it leaves a new place for corrosion:D

now that i have all the panels on i can get this bed sand blasted So that all the seams are clean thats why i was asking you about the rust prevenative paint.Its sad the restof the truck is as solid as it is and the bed be so poor.This thing was painted previous to 1987 when my dad got it.

Why the hell does everybody paint the wiend stealth manifold blue:mad: I painted mine silver to match my truck when I had it on there. I am now running a victor on mine. Anything done to the motor and are you running a toploader, or one of the big t-18/19's?

Cause it looked like pooey it probly wont stay too long

I ended up with a c6 with a stall.

Gonna have to find a money tree for a BB toploader

71 429,DOVE-C heads,comp cam,roller rockers,double roller chain

what headers do you have on your truck?

Title: My F-100
Post by: fordguy545 on August 31, 2008, 11:02:48 PM

you wont find em anywhere cause I made them. 2 1/8 primary equal length. Took me a month to make them. I got my toploader for $100:D only cause dad sold it to the guy I got it back off of and he works for us. Guy was going with an auto if he would EVER get his 64falcon done. I ran it quite a while on the 43 year old bearings, and finally lost one. When I pulled it out to fix it, I found out the input shaft was twisted
(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c146/Fordguy545/100_0239.jpg)
We'll see how long the rest of the trans lasts now because I just put in a McLeod dual disk clutch. I have replaced pretty much all the gears in it because it was a close ratio and it didn't work too well with the 5200# truck. Still using the stock 44 year old syncros:rollin:
Heres some pics of my headers

the only thing is its my dads trans he bought for the stang a long time ago
If I sold it I wouldnt have a trans for the car... As it is im trying to hunt down a clutch set up for it now.... not very easy....
If you want it, we will have it for a long time so let me know and i'll talk to him. But i know its worth money, and new transmissions are NOT cheap....

Buddy of mine has a '69 F-150 with a 390 with a dual quad intake and a beefed up C6, I'll have to show him your truck...he's into the older trucks pretty deep.
I need to get down there and take some vids and pics of him lightin' the tires off on it.

Dad has a '72 F-100...been trying for the last few years to talk him into restoring it...so far...:punchballs:

Anywho, that is one nice Ford...I dug it with the steel wheels that were on it, but the slots make it come alive. Any idea what kind of power it has?
