While attending to the filthiness under the EB, I noticed a looseness of one of the trans mounting nuts. (Video) pretty sure that’s no bueno. Anyone have a clue what the torque specs are? Thanks for any and all help. Randy

Didn’t find anything about equalizer blocks in previous posts so here goes. I have looked all over the engine bay trying to find this “elusive” block. Here’s some pics of what I assume is the block but as rusty and dirty as it is, I’m just not sure. Can it be tested to find out if it’s good or...

Maybe this is an ignorant question here but I am wondering which gearbox I have and is it the factory box for my ‘77. All the numbers all over it have me thinking that I should ask the learned collective here for clarification. Randy

Having a difficult time trying to know what to do to get my new floor pan fixed. Looking at the bushing mount where it’s attached to the frame, it appears to be 90* (white arrows) but looking at the black arrow, it’s obviously got a hump in the middle. The best I can tell, it’s the floor...

Maybe I’m misreading some of the venders’ descriptions BUT 1) how to tell if I’ve got a Dana or Spicer driveshaft and 2) are there specialty tools required to rebuild both drivrshafts (I had front and rear driveshafts made w/o CV joints on the 72). Appreciate any and all comments, suggestions...

Is there supposed to be any kind of check valve in this vent? Replacing the flexible rear brake line and this thing does not have an opening all the way through. I can drill through and MAKE one, but don’t want to screw up something unnecessarily. TIA Ra

While lying on my back under the 77 and trying to track lines…both brake and fuel…I ran across this junction (?) block that appears to be fuel related. There’s a line that travels from this block into the PS of the engine compartment and is attached to nada. Have I uncovered the “roll over...

As I get my brand spanking new brake lines from WH out of the box and climb under the 77, I realize I have absolutely no idea what I’m looking at. The 1267 page ford truck (everything 1977) is somewhat lacking. Pictured in the manual, it looks different than what’s actually there. Any help...

I’m trying to figure out how to make my build thread either a link or like som folks just have a few words highlighted to take you to their build thread. I mean, I can just continue to “reply” to my thread, but have trouble finding it. Lol. Any help for me? Thanks Randy

Have been on several Ford forums/sites trying to nail down what th block in my 77 actually is. There’s the code: F1SE that is below the numbers 33 and above BB. Best I can tell is a ‘91 2-bolt main roller block. Is this an accurate decoding? Appreciate any and all help, advice, comments and/or...

After reading through previously posted threads, they offer much detail…except for what I need to know. As I’m disassembling the front sheet metal, I see the front mounts and they appear to be an easy to get out and replace. My 1st question is do all the existing body mounts need to be at least...

Not sure if I’m gonna have to do some fab work or if there’s a part that will bolt to the stud on the new vac booster. Pics show old and new can bolted to the existing bracket. Finally got the bracket off the firewall that clean and repaint and noticed the difference between old and new. Any...

I’m redoing completely the brake system on my 77…well, everything up to the wheels. Have a new vac booster, new master cylinder, new brake lines. I realize bench bleeding the master is a given, but what is the best method to get empty lines full of fluid to be able to bleed brakes? Not a...

Even though I’ve been working off and on (mostly off) for the last 3 years, two shoulder surgeries, hand surgery and an L1 burst fracture slowed things down. It’s changing looks from a “wagon “ top to a half cab…just always liked the look. Hopefully the pics are in some semblance of...

I’ve looked at several older threads about needing to scuff the POR15 when applying color you want. Nobody mentioned anything about type of paint or primer to cover the POR15 with. I guess I’m wanting to know whether I needed to pick a particular type (urethane, lacquer, etc) primer/paint...

Not my 1st tailgate issue BUT there are no latches or rods in place. I cut the rattle hinge arms into with a saws all with no results. Took bolts out of the pivots at each side on bottom. Still stuck closed. Took cab off and saw nothing that looked like it was screwed into the tailgate. Tailgate...

I found a thread that said the holes have to be drilled in the floor as they didn’t put holes/nuts for that year. My question is this: as I’ll probably fabricate the bulkhead from scratch (haven’t been able to find a factory) does it matter how many holes/bolts are put in? May be an ignorant...

Backed the project out of the shop so I could clean floor and get a better look at it. Finally getting sheet metal off that needs replacing. Not sure if I need to replace my core support or if it’s fixable. All this time I’ve been thinking my frame was tweaked on the driver’s side but I looked...

Have a new “top” on the coil with the rebuild. The old one has a spot marked |tach|. The new one doesn’t. Trying to hook up a tach but don’t want to fry one by guessing. Tried to get decent pic of installed piece.

I know this is probably a silly question, but how do you lock a distributor firmly in place? Cranked up and after it warmed up and the electric choke had gone off, I would pat the pedal and get backfire. Never did it before. I got out while it was running and grabbed the dizzy and found out it...
