I'm assuming there is also a sound difference. This 400 sounds really meaty. With a proper exhaust pipe it'll probably sound a whole lot better. Soon as I get my bill for Dental work paid off, I'm going full bore into this. Had to have my wisdom teeth pulled :( $2,000 ouchies..

*groan* I forgot about my feet. I have a big foot too. 14s - 16s. Blah! :( COE? I'm still new with terminology, sorry! @ Everyone else; thanks for the responses. I was looking at a few Sedan style cabs, my very first post about the rat rod is what I was going for. I eventually want to do a...

Alright. I'll remember that for future purchases. I'm having a hard time finding something I like. I'll keep looking, if any questions arise, I'll post back here :)

Hey Guys, and Girls (do these exist here? :confused:) I'm new to this forums as you all know. Something I've wondered about for awhile is; How do you tall guys do it? Do you have to get specific cabs to work with your height? I'm 6'5", and I weigh about 350lbs. Part of my summer goals is...

Since I'm getting ramped up with fixing my truck, I've started looking at other projects for sale within my state. I should probably avoid looking into a second project until I get the first one done. I can't help but drool at the idea of making something absolutely gorgeous and sexy. I came...

That's sad, my friend. I vividly remember how my dad was when he couldn't tighten a lug nut or do a brake job. I was 5 years old when I did my first brake job. My dad spent 3 days trying to teach my mom how to do it. Me? I did it without even thinking about it. Though, you're not dying of cancer...

Alright. Ixnay on the HF. We do have Napa, O'Reilly's and a few other stores. We do have a Fastner's too. I'll order what I need too online then. My father was a mechanic, he always bought Snap On, my mom bought him Craftsman one time. I'm not sure he spoke to her for 2 days. Anyways, thanks...

Well, I'd still like to get rid of the manual choke. Makes it a major pain trying to start it in the winter. I may end up driving this for the entire winter, so I'd like to get a good portion of work done with it. Yeah, what I meant was, replace the bench seat with a new one (if possible) or...

Hey Guys, I'm looking for tools to buy, things that I'll need right awhile. I know the basics Metric/US Size Sockets, Wrenches etc. How powerful of a Welder do I need? Do I need a plasma cutter? I'm a former welder, 2.5 years in HS but that was almost a decade ago (Oh my god, I'm getting old...

I've got a 1979 Ford F-150 with a 400. Since I'm not super knowledgeable about cars, trucks, etc. I thought this would be a good project to start with. Make: Ford Model: F-150 Engine: 400 6.6L 4WD: Yes Transmission: Automatic (Sadly :( ) It needs lots of love, I'm looking at replacing parts of...

*drooling* I'm falling in love with your project. This is essentially what I want to build, but with big fat tires in the back. Bullfrog Green? That's going to look SUPER sexy. Those weld jobs along the drive shaft (curve tube down the center), experienced welder too. I guess that's why they...

You're what I'm referencing. I go back to work tomorrow night, and my neighbors frown upon my late night activities in the garage. Apparently, no one likes to fall asleep to an air compressor :p I'll buy some degreaser, give it a good spray, and pressure wash it. Then give a nice long drive to...

Well, these are the only two I need help with for now. I keep getting pulled over for 3 things, front grill, headlights, and noise complaints. Two of those I can fix, the third is only going to get worse with a 4 Barrel carb. Thanks so much for those links. I haven't posted in the build thread...

Nope. Don't smell oil at all, I can just see lots of it, and I check it on a regular basis. Don't like driving it when its empty. What tailgate? :p But no, none of that is showing. Glad I posted here. The kid who my brother bought the truck from, was an idiot. He screwed up a lot of the wiring...

Hey Guys, I know what's needed, but I don't know the correct terminology. I'm trying to find the front end of this 1979 Ford F-150. I'm not a car guy, give me a computer, I can fix that. I've tried looking online for after market parts, or junk yard parts. I keep getting things in regards to...
