ford stopped using solid fornt ends in their half tons and 3/4 tons in 1980. that truck looks like a 76 or so which means it didnt have the twin ibean
@fordsmopars4lif3 Ok, speak English... what?! Even if it were a 1976 they had a TIB suspension in 1976 and 1975... so what does this have to do with it?
@fordsmopars4lif3 Some early year 76s had the original emblem location, Ford was notorious for selling late year trucks as early year following production vehicles... A perfect example of this was the 1977 pickup and the 1977.5 pickup...
@fordsmopars4lif3 It's all good, it happens... yeah late model 76 had the emblem moved to the Cab from the fender.... Earlier 76 trucks still had the emblem on the fender...
@Muddy79ford that's the 4x4's.i think shows how young you are,or how old i am.but like i said and it's a fact.ford came out with the twin-I-beam in 1965.go look up old ford commercials.
@rogerbahakel Yes but they 350s also used the solid beam for the 350s... I was just clarifying not ALL of these trucks had Tqin I... just the 2wd 150 and some 250s... all others came with a solid beam (for most heavier models) and the 4wd had solid axles until the TTB 4wd of 1980
@rogerbahakel No... the 1965 year models are the first Twin I-Beams... they may have been sold in 1964 but they were not 1964 model trucks... In 1965, the Twin I-Beam front suspension was introduced with coil springs
@boggers44 Wait, what? That made no sense, the Twin-I beam is still used in most super duties to this day, and the F100/150/250 all the way up to 79 had Twin I Beam... then they changed to TTB and TIB from 1980 on to 199? then went back to solid for the front 4x4s and the Twin I was still used in 2wd SDs through to the late 1990s... How does it not make sense the Twin I wasn't used in 1975 when It was present in the 60s and present in the 1979... they're the same frame and truck from 1968-1979
@Muddy79Ford all 1980 to mid 90's broncos and f150 4x4's have a dana 44 twin ibeam, and pre-1980 had solid dana 44s. even most 3/2 ton trucks of that era had what was known as a dana 50 ibeam, which was basically a dana 44 with dana 60 outers
Yes, I don't need the history Lesson... Is this in reference to fordsmopars4lif3's comment? because that is not the staement that I made... I meerely pointed out the fact that the F100 was sold all the way into 1985 model years, not that TTB (Twin Traction Beam) suspensions were the same as a TIB (Twin I Beam 2wd)... just correcting the fact that the F100 was still available all the way through to 1985
@boggers44 You're getting Twin Traction Beam and Twin I Beam suspensions confused... you can't use the terms interchangeably... Ford had Twin I Beams from 1965 to 1979... Ford had F100s all the way till the 1985 Model Year, Ford had the Twin Traction Beam from 1980 up to 1997... Twin Traction Beam is a 4wd Dana 44/50 axle, Twin I Beam is just an independent beam system for 2wd....
@KrankieV2 come back when your 58 years old and have owned your truck from the lot back in 1978. dont even try telling me shit about these ford trucks because you have no clue about the 390 series, the 390 is rare. come to me with solid proof that the 390 is or was built more then the 351 w
@KrankieV2 LOL your fucking retarded, the 351 was built way more your dumb fuck. i have 5 of these trucks sitting in my shop, 3 mint condition all 351's except 1 and i don't play runescape you dumb fucking child. its my son that does, an its a shared youtube. shows what you know mr know it all.
@funkyboy4scar Learn to read my comment you asshole... again, I NEVER said that the 390 was more popular than the 351... Jesus christ.. get some fucking reading glasses.
Also, learn your homonyms. "your" implies belonging to, it does not mean "you are" so in this case, you're fucking retarded.
It's funny how you old bastards think you're reading one thing and get a completely different idea, then get all pissed off. I'm laughing my ass off right now.
Ford trucks never came with a 390. They were only available with the 360. A lot of people mix the 360 and the 390 up because the only way to differentiate is by physically measuring the stroke. Outside appearance is identical.
@jc9038 Well out of the many trucks I've seen here in California, I've yet to see one with a 390. And yes, since 3 weeks ago, I've seen some specs of the 390 trucks in the Chilton and Haynes repair manuals. lol
oh snap so i was close
