Alright, well I got tired of not having a trail rig, so I'm going to go pick up a '76 F-100 in san antonio this weekend. Its got a 360 with the 4 speed 435, and 44 and 9 inch axles. Its suppose to need fresh gas, battery, and the carb played with a bit to run.

Welcome. Remember the trick to working on Fords is knowing when and where to kick the damn thing. I wouldn't suggest a towbar, that thing is probably a bit too heavy to be dragging around on it's own wheels.....at least it would make me a bit uncomfortable unless I was pulling it with a much heavier vehicle. Check with your insurance company. If you claim the vehicle to be a "recreationaly vehicle", meaning it doesn't get a lot of miles put on it, insurance is normally pretty cheap.

does that have the closed knuckle 44?

11-01-2005, 07:17 AM
Nope. A 76 in the F100 or 150 style has a high pinion disc braked open knuckle 44.

What's the deal with people wanting fullsizes, then wanting to flat tow them? Couldn't you get something like an XJ or old explorer or somethin like that?

dude I think you paid too much for that set of axles and transmission
I have always liked that body style though...maybe you could part out the drivetrain and front axle, swap in a camaro subframe and a supercharged 302 and make it a street truck :gigem:

It's a bad dood for stock. Definitely had a good time riding in that beast, I was extremely impressed with how it did. Thanks again for letting me be your designated spotter and passenger. Just needs some glasspacks and you'll be redneck hillbilly all the way. Give us some specs on what you plan on doing? Lift, 205 mated to 203, tires, etc?? :beer:

11-07-2005, 12:48 AM
Ah fook a lift, or maybe a little. Cut fenders, put 35s, lock front, weld rear.

sasquatch
11-07-2005, 01:00 AM
I never said that. I just said I didn't want to weld it up with the posi thats in there. I'll get a spare 3rd member and weld it though.

Probably will lift it 4 inches and run 35s. Not sure what im goin to do about the body. Im just goin to fix a few things up on it before i mess with cutting or taking things off

JeepPhisherman
11-07-2005, 01:55 AM
weld rear, lunchbox front, bob bed and frame, cut fenders, 4" lift, 36s and you're golden!
besides fixing your tailights. i was gonna follow yall back to 218 so you didnt get a ticket, but i was feeling like i was going to yak when we were passing luther, so i decided to go home

CRaSHnBuRN
11-07-2005, 02:48 AM
don't lift it, just trim the fenders, weld up the diffs and throw some 35s or 37s on it.

if I was building a truck like that I'd try to build it like this http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/featuredvehicles/83759/ Granted, the D60s and 42s are probably a little much for you now, but I still think a milder version of this truck would be cool

stx4wheeler
11-07-2005, 11:21 AM
hes not gonna go crazy stupid with it like i have/am trying to do to mine. hes gonna lock it, small 4 in lift, 35s and go from there, anything above 35 he will start breaking stuff and he doesnt wanna do that.

sasquatch
11-28-2005, 09:35 PM
to-do list:

check timing
bolt some tow hooks to the frame on the front
see if the electric choke works
put in new exhaust or at least tie up whats left of the orginal
do something about the surface rust on the body
straighten or replace steering
4" lift
tires
weld or put locker in rear

sasquatch
11-28-2005, 09:42 PM
the choke had a tube that ran to the left exhaust manifold. it was broken off where it went in to the manifold and it fell out of the choke when i messed with it. so does the choke shut off when the exhaust gets to a certain temp? will the choke work now without it? im not sure how the choke works with the gas petal. do you push it all the way down when you start it then that kicks the choke on and hit the gas once its warmed up to shut it off? i dont know.

its not connected right now. the truck gets pissed off when its cold outside or if its been sitting for a few days. the carb may need to played more, but i don't really know how to fine tune it

CheapJeep
11-28-2005, 09:48 PM
Yes that's exactly what that line from the carb to the exhaust manifold does. It just tells the electric choke when it needs to be on or not when the motor is warmed up. Yes your truck will still work without it, but the electric choke will just run whenever it's already warmed up. Whenever I put a new manifold on the Jeep the old line didn't fit so I still need to find a new one, but its no big deal. As for your surface rust, just buy or borrow a DA sander and get after it, then primer time. I helped a buddy back in highschool with a bagged burban DA and primer before HeatWave two years ago, needless to say it took awhile. :flipoff2:

AggieTJ2007
11-29-2005, 01:12 AM
i would put that highlift in the toolbox, it will keep it from rusting so much and make it much more useful. As for the choke you may be able to wire is so it is just on/off w/ a switch or convert it to a manual choke

sasquatch
12-12-2005, 10:07 AM
choke doesnt do anything when it gets power

Sharpe
01-23-2006, 02:15 PM
As far as I know ford only used a 31 spline t-case input on everything. If the bolt pattern is the same you should be good to go, otherwise you can just drill and tap the face of the 205 for the new adapter.

sasquatch
01-23-2006, 02:20 PM
no its connected. i may have to steal one off another truck. mine is loose as **** already.

01-23-2006, 03:27 PM
why put 205?

Shaggy
01-23-2006, 05:14 PM
should bolt right up... and depending on the old case might not have to mess with driveshafts

AggieTJ2007
01-23-2006, 06:43 PM
just make some shifters and twin stick the 205 while you are at it

Doug Krebs
01-23-2006, 07:39 PM
you realize 205's suck as far as a low range? It's only 1.92... Althought i think i remember you saying that you only have a single range?

dont fawk with rebuilding it just sell that one and get another one.

Shaggy
01-23-2006, 08:16 PM
i have a np208 ill sell you that will bolt up, needs no rebuild, and has a much lower gearing. or a BW1356... i have no need for them so if you want them let me know and we can talk cost

sasquatch
01-23-2006, 08:30 PM
is the 208 chain driven?

stx4wheeler
01-23-2006, 08:36 PM
yes both the 208, and 1356 are chain, dont get a gay chain drive, use the one you have or find another 205

Shaggy
01-23-2006, 08:46 PM
they are not as heavy as the 205 so they are easy to put in too... and i have the shifter for the 208

robertf03
01-23-2006, 08:47 PM
the gearing on the 208 is much better than the 205.

Shaggy
01-23-2006, 08:49 PM
the only way to run a 205 is behind a 203... otherwise it sucks because it is only 1.98/1

You're making the right decision. Like Frick said, chain drives suck, look what happened to my NV241...

I know plenty of people that have beat the piss out of chain drives including myself and have never had a problem other than leaking from the slip shaft. Unless you hit a rock and frag the aluminum case I'd say your better off with a 208 then a 205. Nevermind me though, i've never wheeled with a chaindriven case. :rolleyes:

Sharpe
01-24-2006, 01:11 AM
I cracked the front case half in the burban from a bad front driveshaft u-joint. The aluminum cases tendency to crack for almost any reason has me kind shying away from them in general.

i guess im in the market for some used 33 or 35x12.5x15s.
those 31s have the road hazard on them "accidently" get a hole in the sidewall and upgrade to some 33's, it'll cost prolly bout a hundred to warranty 2 tires and upgrade to the larger size

Shaggy
02-01-2006, 11:47 PM
no that is not a true statement.... first of all he never had 35's, he had 33's and then went to 37's. his 33's had plenty of tread on them and they bought them from him and that went toward his 37's. His 37's were totally bald and went to the dumpster. He bought his 40's at shop cost at the off-road shop he works at. thanks and gig' em

ah ok i stand corrected, i guess someone miss informed me

Shaggy
02-01-2006, 11:56 PM
they will buy any tires almost to get you in a better set. they sell used tires too... all you have to do is ask what they have. I got good money for my bald stock tires and rims just because he wanted me to drop the money on the new ones... i was pleased in the deal and they were willing to take a little loss in profit to still make some

william_ace
02-02-2006, 12:06 AM

JB
02-02-2006, 12:17 AM
Discount will hook you up. I think the CS store does the most buisness in the entire Houston region. But any Discount will deal with you if you talk to them. Beat this deal....285/70/17 BFG ATs with full road hazard, mount and balance (and of couse lifteime mount/balance/rotate) and tax.....$800....all because my family had a history of buying tires from them for like the past 10 years

cutting a tire to get a new one is pretty shady, but I would bet they would look the other way.

I've had better luck with Sams Club than Discount.

AggieTJ2007
02-02-2006, 12:31 AM
see, Discount will always beat sams clubs price if you take them a printed quote.

And there are alot more Discounts than there are Sams so it is easier to get rotation/balanace/ replacement

KrazyKarl02
02-02-2006, 08:21 AM
Another good trick is to go to tirerack.com They are usually real cheap, but the price does not include shipping, print the tirerack.com price out and typically discount will beat it. The main thing is never pay what Discount tells you to. There is a ton of mark-up in the tire business. Its pretty much the shadiest business, next to selling meth of course.

Don't "cut" your tires... I had one of my tires slashed, actually stabbed, in the Zachary parking lot. They told me they didn't cover theft, but the guy did it anyways, because it's the gay blazer guy in town and he like my ass.

So moral of the story, pop it with something blunt, like a triangular piece of steel.

TMatheaus
02-02-2006, 11:11 AM

CheapJeep
03-21-2006, 06:37 PM
Robert, measure the diameter of the axle tube and length for the u-bolts. I have an assortment of them back home that are sitting in the box. I have one's that fit 3 1/8" diameter axle as well as 3", the length's should work as well. Let me know.

sasquatch
03-21-2006, 07:29 PM
the ones i have are 10 1/2". so i guess i'd need around 7 1/2. i'd guess the 9 inch tubes are at least 3 1/4. i dont know exactly

i got shocks for the front today. none for the rear for awhile. all i need to do is the shackle flip

stx4wheeler
03-21-2006, 09:06 PM
if you jsut flip the hanger you have now you get like 1 and 5/8 inch of lift. Also do like i told you and move that new f-350 hanger farther forward.

Got the lift finished and took it to 47 on Sunday. Worked great. Waiting on new shocks for the rear and will probably need to lengthen the brake lines. Fixed a leak on the pass side caliper. Bleeder screw is frozen and i can't get it out. Probably will buy a new caliper.

I guess I'll move on to tires, exhaust, other shat. May also be doing a trans/tcase swap in the future. I'll post some pics of it if I can find a camera.

i put in two lock-rights this week and as far as drop-in lockers go, i like them. there are no visisble differences between them and the ez locker but the lock right has dual springs which i like. my ez locker in the scout has worked great and you cant hear it clicking. my dads ez locker never worked right. my neighbors lock rights work well but are louder. im sure its because of the dual springs but i still like them better.

Hey I drove the jeep around for a long time w/ the welded rear, and I would still have it if it hadn't of broken on me (don't weld a trashloc)

I also think that the welded handles alot better than the detroit. You can feel it if you get on or off the gas making a turn, If y ou let off the gas all of a sudden you will turn sharper.

We always hit Pick-n-pull, Awesome on Jefferson for the $30 axles,(although they say they don't do that on full size truck anymore) and U-Pull-It on Jefferson. I'd hit Awesome first and see if a cheap axle could be procured and then swing by U-Pull-It for ****s and giggles and then head out to the highway for Pick-n-pull. There are a couple other on Jefferson, but they speak better english and usually know what they have, and don't like you cruising around the yard stealing every fuse, relay, emblem, etc. in sight.

If you need another nine there is a yard over here in Fort Worth off of Carson Street and 121 towards downtown. It's a sister yard to Awesome and has $30 axles and lots of trucks. I know there are a few 9", also lots of 14 bolts, 60 rears etc. It's called Dismantlers 2000 or something gay like that. It is actually on Elliot-Reader road which carson "T's" into.

A bit to nothing depending on how you do it. I'm gonna assume your jooness will prevent you from buying premade shifters, so all you's gotta do is take the case apart, grind on one rail, and then fabricate the shifters.

Sharpe
07-21-2006, 12:55 AM
I dont know about grinding it too much but if you are really lazy and dont feel like grinding the rail, you can just take a little detent stick inside the case out. This will allow you to shift each rail seperately but you will be able to put the front and rear in different ranges (high & low or low& high) which is bad juju. Thats why most people just grind it.

You should have front wheel low with the detents in. You have to have the rear in neutral or low before shifting the front into low. And I don't think many people remove them anymore. I didn't in mine or Kurt's. All you gain by removing them is front wheel high.
