Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives is it wrong...

nd; If you get that Ford and it's similar to a '61 (my first 4x4) there's one flaw built into them that everyone needs to be told...No one told me and I had to learn it the hard, embarassing way!

The four wheel drive WON'T WORK if you don't put the hubs in!!

There, I've done my duty and passed along this little tidbit that may save someone from suffering what I went through.

I'm so dumb, I put the R in stupid.

Thanks Bullet, I'll write that down.

Dave,

If you want to get jiggy, you ought to take my 1997 Cummins 12v off my hands and install it Ford. What a ride that would be! I will make you a nice deal.

if i could find a crew cab version that would be a dream come true with your engine.

i looked at the truck, it's actually a merc!!

1960 merc 2 wheel drive, truck is in incredible shape.

now i have some thinking to do...

Hell longbob, what you want for the cummins? i got a 78 crew cab chevy that it would look good in.

this is what a 1960 merc truck looks like.

wooo weee, I like it. You gonna get it aint ya?

I wouldn't have much thinking to do.... I like those Mercs. Is she Canadian?

you know it is man.

that's where those mercs came from i think.

looks like the colors I'm going to use on the '78. Good lookin' truck dave.



Busted.

well i know this one did anyways because that's what the tag says.

amazing shape, no rust, tin is nice... it's got that little 223 in it but if it stayed a 2wd & became mine it would get lowered & it would get a Z code 390FE & a toploader 4 speed I happen to have sitting around.

Those 223's are pretty decent. Still popular with the 63-66 truck dudes.

You already know...I love me some 390 w/4sp. You want a 64 too?

Couple of old Merc's bombing around town.They're pretty cool.

hmmmm...





low, long, wide... 390 & a top loader 4 speed.....

oooohhhh daddy. I dig the hot rod black too.

Yer gonna get it, ain't ya?

Got a 58 fairlane for ya too since your on a buying spree.

chit.... you guys still got that 58?

don't do that to me man...

Old man does. She's a runner too. Has a 292 in it now. He had plans for a 427 which he sold shortly after he built it, now he has plans for a 390/tri power, but has quite a few other projects to finish.

He says he's gettin old and wants some of that stuff gone.

This is the one.

pm.

we need to talk about this one...

dave love ford... mmmm ford......

Tom, that car needs to do wheelies.

I think that was the plan he had for it. No time, no money, you know how it goes with these old car guys.

I'm thinking Mid 10's would be a fun time.
