https://eugene.craigslist.org/cto/d/creswell-1986-ford-f150-4x4/6814204449.html Good price for a 4x4.

https://bend.craigslist.org/cto/d/bend-1985-ford-f150/6808061495.html A couple of crinkled up corners, not bad for the price.

Very nice! Information is good!

Purty!

Wow! That's a nice Bronco!

"So, how'd we do? Well, in spite of Google saying that route is 63.1 miles, Big Blue thinks it is 65.0 miles. And, I got 5.71 gallons in it after that, again to the brim, for an average of 11.384 MPG. (Yep, its a 460.)" Woohoo! 11.384! Pretty good! Neat test!

For a ranch truck, it looks good!

I had a 351W in a 1978 van, and have one in my Bronco. I really like them, the 92 is real nice.

Ha! We could go Bullnose hunting!

Nice!

I'm not either, but a search shows this...

Well... https://supermotors.net/getfile/1145846/thumbnail/img_20190219_141750.jpg It followed me home. Can I keep it? No! Bring it to me as soon as possible please!

I'd probably use PTFE grease, as linked in this caption: But those contacts are designed to work without any lube. If they're making noise, I assume it's because they're contaminated by dirt - probably adhered by grease. They're relatively easy to access for cleaning/replacement (used only) by simply pulling the wheel off. Cleaning them makes sense. I've used Dow Corning DC-4 grease on contacts and never had problems. But I see the point. DC-4 is really good for oil filter gaskets. Used it on O-Rings also.

I may have used B and R before in Eugene Oregon. Lost a vacuum pump on a 1988 7.3 I used to own, in the mountains. Moved some belts around, limped in to Oakridge. Next morning no one had a pump, limped in to Eugene to get a used one. That was almost twenty years ago.

Yes, that pot metal can crack/bend/wear, resulting in intermittent/unpredictable behavior. https://supermotors.net/getfile/72346/thumbnail/columntilt-exploded.jpg What's the best lube or maintenance practice on those? Also I believe the contacts under the horn are "squeaking", is it ok to use a dielectric grease or some other on there? Lightly coated.

Yes, an overused buzzword. If it was a GM four speed it would be a Muncie "Rock Crusher"! Edit: And how Ford 360's magically become 390's! You make a good point on needing to know what is is for tranny use.

That Ultra Black is heavy! Looks good!

Needs work! https://bend.craigslist.org/cto/d/redmond-1981-f250-ranger/6821722433.html

I recognize Fordzilla!

Wow! Nice indeed!

Welcome! You have a big head start with your bullnose experience!
