Hey guys-I have a chance to get a 76 F150 4x4 4speed shortbed pretty cheap. Zero rust except for the rear fenders.

I would like to swap out the 360 engine for a 460. (I have a good 460 in my garage just waiting a truck like this.) anybody know if the bell housing bolt pattern is the same?

Also the transfer case dosent have low range. i have never seen one like this. Are they common to these older trucks. It looks like it is gear driven,and the case is cast iron.

Last-does anyone know of a good source to get bedsides and other restoration items for a truck of this year?

Thanks in advance

 

For the restoration parts, try jcwhitney... www.jcwhitneyusa.com Can't help you on the other questions, sorry.

 

Yep JCW has resto stuff for that year. I've seen other companies also, I'll look and see if I can find them in my magazine stack.
