So ever since I discovered the damage to the cab of the dually, I had the idea to fix it. I even drove a few hours away to pick up a cab that someone was giving away for free! but....I'm not going that route anymore. I want to get the truck on the road and drive it and its just going to be way easier to replace the cab!
Since the cab is coming off I decided to replace the slightly worn cab bushings for some new Polyurethane from Energy Suspension! It can be a little difficult removing the olds ones as the top and bottom sleeve rust themselves together sometimes. I go over and easy way to remove all four.
Energy Suspension Polyurethane bushings
Part number-ENS-4-4104G
Kit was four cab bushings and core support
Not exactly a how to do it but going over the steps and would something that can be done in a weekend or full day if you have the time.

    love all 1970 f250 videos my dad past down his AND im restoring it. It has ran for nearly 20 years but when he handed me the keys it started up but it needs a lot of TLC. Its funny this the first ever vehicle i worked on in any capacity and your videos videos on the subject are really helpful such as a the auxiliary fuel from LMC. i would love see to more of videos of what you done with yours. im thinking of removing the bench and having bucket seats that lmc sell i also removed the main tank from the inside so i would only have the auxiliary tank but i might add the square tank lmc has that goes where the spare is at so i could still have two tanks. apart from that i swapped the the manual carburetor to an electric one with vacuum secondaries. the next thing is lights,suspensions, windows, i might even put in power window regulators.

Bucket seats would be really cool! If I’m able to get another truck I’d want bucket seats too. I’ve got a few more videos for the 1970 coming up just trying to finish the 74 right now.

    There is an easy way to keep from making a mess by using a cheap manual transfer pump. They come with long hoses that will fit in the fill tube. Shove it to the bottom and stick the other end in a jug and start pumping. there will still be some fluid left in the pan but if you're careful, no mess.

It is super loose and moves freeley in your video, you even lift it and move it with one hand ( minute mark 7:50 ) . Im in the middle of this project right now and I have removed spring and shock and the radius arm will not budge one inch so I am very confused !

    Dangerous not to have another jack in the front, especially kicking a wheel assembly and also wrenching near that jack that's saving your life....And that jack is not bullet proof--can slip out of the teeth--known to happen.

    • @AJsGarage
      @AJsGarage 5 місяців тому

      I’m not super familiar with the highboy frames but I believe they stayed the same from the 60’s-late 70’s I thought. 34 inches wide but the front design was slightly different. Same the the cab and chassis trucks, I completely forgot when I was recording that cab and chassis trucks were different then the regular 73-79 trucks. Thank you for watching!

  • @GenderSkins
    @GenderSkins 5 місяців тому

    There was a change in the frames, when Ford switched over two the Twin I-beam suspension, then another wider frame introduced around 1968. But for the most part there was no changes to the frame, as cab corner placement always depended on the trucks transmission setup and if it could support a PTO or transfer case for 4X4. Which was to make room for a PTO, or transfer case and applied to both automatic and manual transmissions.

    • @AJsGarage
      @AJsGarage 5 місяців тому

      Yes your right, there wasn’t much of a change to the frame from 68 forward. Highboy and cab & chassis trucks stayed 34 inches between frame rails front to back till around 79 I believe but regular 73-79 trucks the back half of the frame did widen out to 36.5 I believe. I had completely forgot about that when I was doing this but didn’t realize highboy frames and F350 frames were the same

  • @chevelleranch7481
    @chevelleranch7481 5 місяців тому

    Nice job man! FYI the rear cab mounts not lining up is not a year issue , the F350s and the 4X4s have the mounts outside the frame versus inboard. The core supports are also the same from a 4X4 and an F350....or on other models with gears lower than 4.10s for heavy duty cooling systems. Keep up the good work!

      @AJsGarage 5 місяців тому

I'll have to take the panel off to see what I can see, but I'll likely have to have my son help as his eyes are better and he's done some like it before. He's got a '66 F-100 he's restoring now.

    Great job man! Huge improvement! I would recommend assembling all those bolts with anti-seize. Stainless likes to weld itself together , and being out in the weather doesn't help. I'm about to do a couple sets for my trucks.

    Thanks for the video I ran both the 7448/2300 old style with the overkill 50cc accelerator pump 8 mpg . I like the refresh of this S/A500 it's actually the front of a classic 750 CFM carburetor I switched to a 4 bbl and listened to the net racers on jegs / summit sites and bought the Edelbrock RPM intake overkill for a 360-390 it does not make enough compression to use 1/2 of that intake go with the regular performer a 390 will never spin over 5,000 RPM without a different crank shaft I'm at 4,800 rpm with the RPM intake and 600 Holly . If I had to do it all over the gear vendors overdrive and this carb is all you need .

      Thank you for watching! Also the information, been going back and forth on staying two barrel or going four barrel but I think for what I want to do with the truck this was the right choice. I’m trying to get as close to 15mpg.

      @@AJsGarage Yeah 👍 been there the biggest bang for the buck though was the overdrive transmission. I realized that I wouldn't have needed a 4 barrel after I installed it the biggest wow factor was with a overdrive or 4-speed automatic transmission you get the passing gear at high speeds in between 55/70 so you could be cruising at 65 and put the pedal all the way to the floor and it'll kick down into third and you get that seat of the pants take off power wow factor 😉. Anyway I just bought the summit 600 I'm a lot happier with that as far as tunability compared to a four-barrel Holley with the Dual float bowls and gaskets all over and this and that the top comes off like an autolite it's really easy for jet changes and you can leave the Dual feed fuel rail on it when you take the top off pretty simple.

      @TheThirdWheel618 Which automatic did you go with? In my 70 I eventually want to put in a 460/C6 but I know a later E4OD is an upgrade. That would make it a much nicer truck to drive

      @@AJsGarage I had my 390 rebuilt pretty fresh so i went with a gear vendors there pretty pricey I weighed all the options adapters , 5 speed swap , another transmission but I also just had my C6 rebuilt at the same time so to just add something onto it was the easiest for me . I Have a 250 with 3:73 gears I tried really big tires the rear first a lot of people comment on that and say they wouldn't spend that much money on a gear vendor they would just put big tires on it . With the 373 gear ratio they only drop me 200 RPM so instead of 3000 RPM at 60 I dropped down to 2,800 and still got 8 mi per gallon on the freeway. There's a lot of options out there but with the 390 I was limited the only logical thing to do other than the gear vendor what's to change the rear axle the Dana 60 only goes as high as 3:55 I tried to find those vintage 323s out there that people talk about but I've never found them.

    AJ, love your videos. It inspires a novice with an old truck to DIY some projects. I have this same model truck, but my bench seat back doesn’t pull forward giving me access to the area of the in-can gas tank. Any ideas as to what could prevent it from pulling forward?

    • @AJsGarage
      @AJsGarage 11 місяців тому

      I appreciate you watching! Thank you for commenting and hope my videos help with those projects. Hmm I’ve never really taken a look at the seat but maybe the pivot is rusty or something is holding it up? It shouldn’t be a later model seat with the locking tab. I’d losen the bolt holding the top half and try removing it.

    When your accelerator valve is pressed do you get fuel into both sides of the carb or just the passenger side?

    • @AJsGarage
      @AJsGarage Рік тому

      I haven’t checked it but it should be both sides at any point I believe. If it’s only spraying into one side you might have a clog or a crack in one of the Venturi tubes.

    • @AJsGarage
      @AJsGarage Рік тому

      It should be both sides. Maybe one of the Venturi is clogged or a crack in the tube could cause it to not spray correctly. You are able to remove it without pulling the whole carb just be careful you don’t drop anything in the engine.
