Every old Ford I've dealt with has claimed it were overheating. They just do that. They're not actually overheating, they just say they are. A factory gauge will peg hot as low as 170, and I've seen hot lights come on at about the same. The senders/switches age and don't work properly. I've also seen the cluster voltage regulator get stuck closed and make the gauge read high as well. But if that's the case, the fuel gauge will also read double.

You gotta love the design of the Ford 9 inch rear end. It was like Ford made them with racing in mind. You can have 2 or 3 third members with different gearing ready to change out in minutes.

Those tires don't look half bad brother. Definitely an upgrade 👍👍

good thing that speedo reads high now, with the changed gears and smaller tyres 😉😉😉

Thanks for the Fun Facts about the Starsky and Hutch Torino. I figured there was something going on with that Malaise era car burning out like a dragster. Of course they used special gears to make it burn out. I am loving those new tires and wheels. That Ranchero is looking really cool. I also like those 68 Mustang Scoops. and satin black is perfect. I would also try to find some fake wood trim to make the driver side look like the drinker side.

Great to see JD helpin’.. I recon the Ranchero Ute is awesome. Very similar to our Aussie XA XB XC Falcon Ute, our utes ran leaf springs in the rear. If the engine is a turd, maybe a 351 Windsor might be a nice “upgrade”. 🇦🇺🤙🏼

If you decide to keep the Ranchero, it would definately need to be painted. That would make a world of difference. The wheels are OK since they're chrome, but you're right in the fact that it needs taller tires.

That is a super nice rig. Watching you keeps me motivated to one day build my shop. I also enjoy that after the revival you take the time to build the car/truck out.

I'm concerned that when the previous owner fitted the cam he did the right thing and completely ignored upgrading the valvesprings to suit.
