right now i have front end work i have to do on my fathers mistress's 97 E150 conversion (4.6) I am throwing on the front ball joints and shocks as well as repacking the wheel bearings again...then i have plugs to do...
AND on to the good part...
on my 68 F250CS i will be throwing on the front end and possibly the rear end from a 79 F350 2wd that had a 460 and C6 (which werent present...damn) i stripped while in Socal
it has the dual piston front disks that i REALLY want, it has new kingpin bushings/pins and rotors.
the rear is D60 (i dont know what ratio yet but i'm hoping it's a 3.55 so i can get better MPG than 3.73) with the 12 inch by 3 inch drums and 35 spline axles (i have another 79 F350 rear in my garage that was under my 1986 F150/350 frankentruck i junked out)
I also scored the proportioning valve, but the dual diaphram booster and brakets i needed were stolen from the back of my truck at my last job
so along with the master i need that stuff now too....or maybe i will try manual disk brakes
SO i got some parts for me while i got the parts for pop...

I got all this at autozone...along with some parts for the twin engine 442...
i got some stuff fer the other 3800 going into the front :twisted:
BTW /\ That is why i need the massive brakes on the 68...the car weighs 4330lbs race weight plus a 1500-2200 lb trailer (dep on who's i borrow
)means lots too stop! its not like flat towing the 84 toyota cressida up rt 66 from SoCal, the drum brakes were adequate
plus the 33' tires and 3.55 gears would help with MPG since i have that handy granny for starting the load moving...
I will update my parts list as i get em...i want to get new rubber TIB arm bushings i have new rubber one's for the 79 radius arm i was gonna make work with the 68 frame location along with the loaded calipers
Then i can swap it all...which is much easier since all my Toys...er tools are now in my garage
I will be getting the title and registering it soon
BTW Keith when this happens youll finally get my 68 and 79 beam numbers...maybe sooner if i do some cleaning up
Regards, James
I still have to do the class 4 hitch and LED brake lights in the bumper, 86 F150 bench seat......ya'll know how it is
