understand that. if it werent that mines wore out and bout same money either way id probably rebuild drums. But gonna disc it.

My Carter yf has been leaking from the throttle shaft since I bought it . It causes a vacuum leak and makes the truck run bad. I've been wanting to upgrade to a alum intake and 4v but don't have the money right now. I found a yf on eBay that's been rebuilt for 80 bucks so i bought it in hopes of it making it run better until I can build my funds up for the 4v upgrade

[Joshpow]

You got iv right?

[timmytim]

Yea

I installed a oil gauge with a copper line kit today. Its runs at idle 40 lbs and at 2 grand it has 50 lbs. Not too bad for a 40 year old motor?

[timmytim]

I through a wooden tool box together and mounted it on top of gas tank... I know its alittle rednecked but man I needed the storage

[forrestbump]

Redneck? Are you kidding? That's quality engineering at it's finest!! ...besides, I'm proud to call myself a Redneck!

I was at my local bone yard today scoping out parts for my 3g alt upgrade and came across a 90 f150 that had factory speakers mounted behind the seat in the corners. They look like 5x7... Anyway the speaker panels are the same color as my truck and I think they would look pretty good. Problem is the lip on the gas tank is in the way. Can I bend that lip back out of the way without causing tank to leak?

check out these rotors on a 1970 f100 man i was licking my chops!

You need those discs!! Mines disced now and i love it! It drives so nice with new bushings and brakes! Not sure on speaker deal but how bout trimming panel instead of working tank?

Cool josh i will look into how much the whole front end would could set me back. I got christmas weighing on me right now so may have to hold off but whats bad is im thinking their bout to crush it! They have plenty of the dent sides with disc though I am going back out tomorrow i will try to get some pics of those speaker panels, o i just had a idea. Shoot i could pull them and find a bump without a seat and see how they fit up ..

Instead of altering the tank couldn't you modify the panels?

[timmytim]

I bought the 5x7 speaker panels today out of a 88 f150 and I believe they will tuck right in beside the gas tank
