Gary Lewis Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 The piece he was looking for is the one screwed into the intake behind the thermostat, it has a heater hose nipple, place for one or maybe two temperature senders and a 5/16" nipple for the TB heat. It is the 18B402. but I suspect the original may not be available any more On the DRW trucks, until 1985 on Fords the SRW and DRW axles were the same length and if you looked at the track width the SRW rear wheels track essentially directly behind the fronts, with a DRW truck the centerline of the rears track there. In 1985 on the pickups, Ford started using a different axle housing, their own, and moved the rear wheels out so the center of the inboard rear is in line with the front wheel. This (a) increased the width of the truck to right at 8' and (b) allows the same center floor on the bed for SRW and DRW beds. Here is a picture showing the difference in length beyond the spring pads. SRW is in back DRW in front Bill - See if this helps: Cooling Systems/Elbows. I can't find the right illustration for that application, but he should be able to either find it by the generic illustrations or in the part number list. And see if you agree with what I added to the Bullnose FAQ's on the 1985 DRW's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 Not really a suggestion, but I couldn't find your F100 Pony thread. Did you know Ford sold Escorts with a Pony trim level? Per Wikipedia "...was the Pony model, which was the least-expensive U.S.-built Ford at the time. Pony models used plainer interior trim with greater use of vinyl and plastic instead of cloth, and a 4-speed manual transaxle was standard, although buyers could opt for the 5-speed found in LX models or the 3-speed ATX automatic. The list of available options was very limited, to the extent that such luxuries as power steering and factory-installed air conditioning were not offered (a dealer-installed A/C system was available). " I wonder if someone made a mistake when writing/updating the MPC? What year is your MPC from? The write-up on the Pony is in Bullnose FAQ's. (Even I had to search for it.) But since there are 12 references to it in the catalog I doubt it was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the axle, the the change was only the pickups, the cab and chassis still had the old Dana axle. I found out about it the first time I got Darth inspected 24 years ago. The inspector raised the lift until the arms cleared the bed, then had me back in. He explained that the pickup rear was wider than the 1986 F350 wrecker they had.

Gary, on the WDDTYT thread, when I click on the latest listed time, it takes me to the beginning of the thread. That is the only one it happens on, too many pages?

However, if you are having the problem as well then it isn't my browser. I'll report it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
