Before I'd cut 2 coils, I'd install drop-spindles.
You could have cut a coil from the stiffer springs to achieve the desired height.
I said 26-1/2 inches "wide" (LOL). I meant tall. I doubt there is a 150 RPM difference between the two tire sizes. I understand you have to run...
The difference in gear ratio with the taller tires would be barely noticeable. The front springs definitely need to be shortened a bit; perhaps...
What sizes are those?
I'm aware of that, but the discussion was about the panels. Those latches & pull-handles started in '73 on all standard models.
Yeah, that looks real safe (LOL!!!)
Yes, but it probably doesn't have those panels unless it's a LDO or the panels were changed from original.
So they were available from '72-'77? I didn't know if they were specific to one year or not.
What year Mavericks had this style? I know it's from '75 or later.
Shocks shouldn't affect the ride height.
Frank, keep in mind that a 35 or 40 series will have a much shorter sidewall than a 60 series, and the wheel recommendations I've seen call for a...
That's a nice car. I really like the wheels. Those rear shackles have got to go. In fact, the whole car could benefit from a bit of lowering. The...
You don't really need a prop-valve. '74s never had one (just a distribution block). My '73 has the front disc conversion and running the original...
Never put a tire on a rim width that is not recommended by the tire manufacturer. It's even more critical with short sidewalls like what you're...
A friend of mine has a '75 Grabber with one of those. It's factory original.
You could probably wrap a stock wheel as well. I've seen them and they look really good like that.
But all the new ones are plastic.
As far as stock steering wheels, I think the '75-'77 looks the best, and many Fords from that era had them. If you want an original '73 steering...
These. Good luck getting them, as they are always on back-order. They not cheap either...
