Dodgeboykim, it's interesting that all of the literature shows a 14" wheelbase difference from a short to long bed on 65-71 trucks. The guy in that thread cut 15" out of his bed. He removed 5" from the rear.

I didnt pay attention to the details.

Link to long box to short box conversion.

A 92 up Magnum V8 MPFI System will not bolt onto an LA Block. Countless people have used aftermarket bolt on FI Systems due to relative ease of conversion. Its up to you to research and decide what's best. The 92 up Magnum V8 engines have been bolted into older carbed vehicles by turning the electro...

Any details on the Ford radio?

I had the link for one a few weeks back and deleted it after use. Just have to do some searching.

Their is a Retro Ford radio that looks the same basically as the Sweptline OE
Radio.

Up. Same as ignition.

That looks like holes for an aftermarket hood pin and trim piece.

Or a giant CB Whip Antenna.

For that price it would be better to adapt front rubber isolators from something readily available and cost effective.

Used to be a 69 W300 running around near Vancouver, Canada with a 392 running dual 4 bbl propane mixers and he put 4 headlight front end on.
Was a pretty cool truck.

Emissions I believe. Not needed. May be a car distributor.

Hi
I am turning up a adaptor to fit a 440 distributor to a 383.
can anyone give the difference in hight [ie shaft length]
cheers

Those kits are readily available with a new higher hold down.

I have noticed that PS Assist pitman arms are curved in an S Shape. All the Non PS I have seen are straight or sometimes curved. Cant explain the reason for that.

. So hence my comment.

Just a matter of removing PS Assist system and getting a new pitman arm and drag link to replace the parts removed.

Are you sure the pitman arm is different?

That will be apparent when you get into it. If I'm wrong, No big deal.

Ok that’s cool. Upon closer inspection of my truck (haven’t driven it in a few years) I can see there was trim along the lower body but none along the “Sweptline line”. That’s good enough to move forward with. Thanks for your efforts at looking that up for me. :Thumbsup :Thumbsup :Thumbsup :Thumbsup

Now THAT does my heart all kinds of good! Thanks for that info!

I see you messaged me. The one I have is similar to link posted. Some images are different. My Dealer brochure is a Canadian version.
Not sure how much if any difference that makes.

Regarding your question regarding trim options , I have a 70 pickup sales brochure. PM Me your e mail address and I will send you the scanned pages.

Thanks! The one I got looks like a recovered vinyl, black. Probably not factory, but don't have trim holding it up. Wile back, a few years...I got a fantastic set of cab lights included was the new original replacement lens from off a dodge 500 truck. Those lights are mounted forward over the inner...
