The Ford 7.5-liter, 240-horsepower V-8 engine ran in the F- series trucks from 1968 to 1997 and was the last big block engine from Ford. GMT 900 would mean the same thing as NBS or new body style or current body style 07-2010”. Those are also designating the body style of truck being talked about. So, while Hagerty may call trucks like the GMC Syclone and Lamborghini LM002 ‘collector trucks’ because they were made after 1980, they’re both technically classic trucks. For the majority of enthusiasts, classic trucks are ones that are at least 20 years old. What is considered a classic truck?Īntique Trucks.
The 76″ you reference is probably bed rail width, as the bed narrows a bit going up, matching the profile of the cab. FYI, I have found the sweet spot for Ford full-size SRW trucks is 82″ in width. How wide is an OBS Ford?ħ6″ would be width. The term XLT dates back to 1970 when the Ford Ranger’s top trim package was the XLT. The XLT is a trim level in the Ford truck line and means “ Extra Luxurious Truck.” However, you will find that the XLT trim package comes second to the base trim XL in the Ford truck line. The iconic Ford pickup trucks that can be considered old body style are parts of the seventh, eighth, and ninth generation of the F-series.
When did Ford start the aluminum body? What Ford trucks are considered OBS? I doubt I'll see a problem until I'm running the AC full blast in the typical 100 degree TX heat.4.3. This fits but the tensioner is just barely apply tension. The next length commonly available is a 1253, a little longer than 125". I could have loosened the alternator, tilt it forward, hook the belt, then tighten its bolts, but the belt would have been too too tight. I could not get the 1227 belt to fit at all. The recommended Ford belt part number translate to a belt longer than 123". That last number seems to mean different things, fractions, millimeters, etc. 1227 is longer than 122" but shorter than 123". The four numerals in the part number are inches, sorta. The "8" in the belt part number is eight ribs. Maybe this is why I didn't have to remove all of the mounting bracket's material as detailed in the service bulletin? With one pulley adjusting and the other fixed, the amount of belt length changed is halved.maybe this is the 'belt too tight' issue?
On the assembly I got from the local parts place, both pulleys are all mounted as one assembly, but only the smooth pulley moves, the grooved pulley is fixed. You say "The whole dual pulley head should rotate for tension adjustment." but mine doesn't. I just did this swap last weekend with similar befuddling results.
