Popular Post Superdog Posted August 11, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2014 Put the new rollback to work today, hauled home this '62 Ford C600 .After that I move this cutoff out of my front yard,friend of mine dropped it off the other day when it was wet,so we just unloaded it at the edge of the yard. Wife about backed into it twice now,so thought I better relocate it. 4:17's on taperleaf,gonna put them under my blue '74 RS795 that had no rears when I got it. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storkmack Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I'm thinking of a project that involves a 2 valve 300, and possibly a fuller 8LL. 4.17's may be a better pick. Truck currently has 3.65 gears in it and a 5 speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Storkmack if truck you are working on does any off road work an 8LL with 4.42 rears is a good combination. Good reduction and still decent road speed. Just my opinion. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Mike nice rollback and find on the Ford. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 The Ford has the "Custom Cab". I know that chrome trim around the windshield is part of the package, I think a white steering wheel is also.When you got the right tool for the job...............everything is easier.There once was a saying: "anyone can do it with the right tools", but I busted that myth years ago. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmolitor Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Let me know storkmack. The are taking up space in my shop. I wanted to do the same thing with a 8ll or mack 12 speed but don't have the time. And my RS with the 6 speed is getting better millage than my new truck.

Phase 1 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The Ford has the "Custom Cab". I know that chrome trim around the windshield is part of the package, I think a white steering wheel is also.I think it says that above the spear on the door.Some of the early ones also had two-tone paint.
