I just noticed this today... Is it dangerous to drive like this? Should I remove the shock on the other side as well, so it's even until I can get it fixed?Sent from my SM-A205U using Tapatalk
So I was under the truck to work on the exhaust, and I noticed this. I'm guessing the seal where the drive shaft goes in is bad. It's wet on the other side too, so I guess it needs a new gasket there as well. How big of a job will I be getting into to fix this?Sent from my SM-A205U using Tapatalk
Just a quick question: Where is the blower motor relay on a '77 F-150 with air conditioning? 351m truck if that matters.Sent from my SM-J700P using Tapatalk
Hi guys,I haven't been around here for a while, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good HEI distributor for my '77 F-150 with a 400. I've been running a Mallory Unilite with a mechanical advance for the last few years and the truck runs great with it, but if I splash in a puddle...
Hi, I'm looking for one of those little metal covers that goes over the hole in the cab mount. Does anyone have an extra, or know where I can get one online?Sent from my LGLS665 using Tapatalk
Hi guys, I've been having a problem with my truck not wanting to start/run in the rain. Sometimes I can get it started with difficulty, but the last time I did that and tried to drive it, it shut off and let me sit. It works perfectly fine in dry weather so I am a little confused. I thought it...
Hi, I was just looking for some suggestions on what I can do to make my truck faster, it's pretty fast but seems like it could be a lot faster. it is a 400 with the following mods:
Edelbrock performer carb (600 cfm)
Edelbrock performer intake
carb spacer
headers
duel exhaust
double roller timing...
Hi, I am attempting to install another distributor and I am having a problem with the little hex shaped thing down in the motor that goes into the bottom of the distributor. It flops around and I cannot get it to stay centered.... I was wondering if anyone had a good solution for this, I had...
My nephew just bought a 76 f-150 with a 390 and it has an oil leak. As far as we can tell, oil is leaking into the exhaust manifold on the one side. Does anyone know what could cause this? How do we determine what could be causing it? Thank you
Has anyone put hid lights in their truck? I found some on Ebay but I'd like to see how they would look in one of these trucks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271116984071?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Finally got a video of the truck running with the new 400. The camera couldn't handle it when I reved it but you can hear the idle ok.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAeUzXfD91o&feature=youtu.be
Got my 400 put in and running, but now the transmission is screwed up. Every gear is like neutral, you can push it in every gear except park. I checked the linkage and shifted it by hand, it clicks in but it doesn't seem to change anything at all, the vaccum line looks fine and I tried hooking...
Does anyone have these pieces I am missing or know where I can get them online? Maybe someone has a window laying around that is broken? As you can see it is just 2 pieces of glass and winter is coming, not to mention how insecure it is.
I just picked up a rebuilt 400 engine the other day. The guy claims it was never driven on the road and probably only has like 300 miles on it. He bought the truck it was in after it was rebuilt, so he doesn't know much about it. It has an Edelbrock performer intake and a Holley carb, when you...
Hi, I've been using my truck to tow a big 19 foot boat lately and it does fine on flat surfaces but going uphill it can barley pull it. I drop down to about 15-20mph on some of the bigger hills, shifting down doesn't help much either. I will not let it rev very high for fear of blowing a head...
So I always wanted a stepside, and one just popped up on craigslist for a good price. Problem is, will this fit on my frame that was made for an 8' stlyeside? or do the stepside trucks have a shorter frame?
So about 2 weeks ago my 19 year old nephew who was still on his permit at the time, was driving my truck for practice with me and his brother along. It was raining and I was just telling him about being extra careful in the rain. We were following his dad to go stock trout, we got out onto a...
Hey, I haven't been on here for a while working a lot. I was just wondering what kind of steering wheels fit our trucks? does it have to be made for a 73-79 or do most wheels fit just about anything? It would be neat to have an old one from like a 59 Ford or something, would anything like that...
Looks like buying that truck might have fallen through.... I was looking at some 78-79 Bronco's and was wondering if a 73-77 truck grill would easily fit?
Hey guys, haven't been on here for a while. I'm getting another truck, it's a 75 f-150 4x4 with a 390, headers/duel exhaust, racing cam, 4"lift and 32" tires. engine is rebuilt, almost everything except the bed is like new. I will post pictures once I get it, which won't be until the end of next...
I am having a problem with my truck when going up a hill, it's hard to describe but its kind of like the fuel flow being cut off for just a split second or like the engine spitting, and if I give it more gas it does it more and then starts to bog down the engine. Does anybody know what might...
Does anyone know where I can get a header back duel exhaust kit for a 2wd 77 f-150 auto-trans, 351m? i ordered one from summit but it didn't fit, it turned out that it was for 4x4 and they do not have one that will fit.If a kit is not available than what kinds of pipe would you need to make an...
what is this bushing called? it is in the front and it needs replaced, the truck makes a loud banging noise when you go over a pothole. I was thinking about asking about it when I get it inspected, but then they might say they need to do it for inspection and it may be expensive . Has anybody...
What is the recommended oil for a 77 f-150 351m? Also what kind of wrench do you guys use to adjust your timing? I had trouble getting a wrench in there, there's not much room and once I do get one in there how do you adjust it by ear?
Hi I have belonged to this site for a while but never posted, I started out on FTE. I have a 77 f-150 custom 351m I got for $600 and it is my daily driver, as it is the only vehicle I have, other than 2 non-running motorcycles.I've had it for 2 years now and haven't had any problems, these...
