    My suggestion would be millertire.com or coker tire. Price is $400-500 per tire.

    Engine losing power going uphill

    There is/was a rubber fuel line behind the front fuel tank that connects two metal lines, but it sounds like you replaced that line?

    Engine identification

    Looks like the only V-8 engine options for light duty trucks was 2 versions of the 352. IF it is the original engine, the 4th digit in the VIN would be a "Y" for the 352 or an "8" for a low-compression version of the 352.

    1978 Shop Manual Vol 1 - Section 13 - Steering

    Thank you, Sir! Glad it helped. There is a mistake in the '78 manual for the Neutral Safety Switch. The'78 manual shows the NSS attached to the column, as it was in '77 and earlier. That is not the case. On '78 models and later, the NSS is attached to the side of the transmission.

    Old Orange is Sold

    Hello! Yes, It's still black, but not much of a beauty. Rust is doing what it does best. I bet I've put 500 miles on it in the last year.

    Comment by 'fatherdoug' in article 'Where Are Ford Trucks Made?'

    Just wanted to add that the earlier trucks with 11 digit VIN's have the 5th digit showing where the vehicle was manufactured. For example the 5th digit on my '78 VIN is "R", indicating San Jose as the manufacturing plant.

    Wife’s new ride

    I like the color. My boss just got one for a work vehicle. He puts about 100,000 miles on a car in less than 2 years and has been happy with the explorers.
