You might consider a 8.8" cut own to fit. I'm not sure if they had any with the correct 4-lug setup, but maybe. It's a pretty common Falcon add as it seems if you remove the long tube and axle side...
Sounds like it should be a good build. Built a very similar setup last year for and with Jeff for his wagon. He managed to find probably the last, or so it seems, 8" 4-lug rear end and we put that in...
Considering you are still running the 170 (according to your salutation) unless the 7.25" is howling or failing in some other way - which can be hard to repair due to the woeful availability of parts...
I just did a Sniper 1 install on my mine last year. Wouldn't you know it they release a version 2 just a few months later.
:doh:
I'm betting yours will be less buggy. So far (no miles on it...
I guess there's no room for EPAS now. That was fun under dash work.
Steve - We've all been gone for a while. Life happens. Most people, like you, like me, like others, have migrated over to Facebook or sold their Falcons (I sold everything but the Ranchero when the...
Hey Larry - If you are working on your new Falcon, post a thread about it. I'm gonna try and do a new push on the club and would love to see and hear from you! Maybe give you a visit soon? Let us...
Gene, we all may have. Trying to get a line on that from Kenny and Jeff. But right now I'm stirring the waters and gonna keep at it until Spring. In the meantime we have to submit to the national...
Thanks Doug. I've just "officially" started the reboot. So, we'll see how it goes. Maybe we'll get some movement back here on the forum for those who avoid Facebook like the plague. LOL
Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen in Falconland. Hope this finds you well and y'all had a great time with friends and family yesterday at Thanksgiving.
I know, some of you may be going, "What...
So here I am, I'm looking at the club with earnest again after a few years of "things" beyond our control. I've been on the Facebook group more than here in the past couple years (obviously) mainly...
I think the general consensus has been to shift over the 65 front end. Not as simple as that since you need steering box all the way out. But in the long run, with cost of parts and future...
Wow guys. I'm really sorry for abandoning this forum. It's been a rough couple years and I've been posting more on the Facebook groups for their simplicity - though I hate its ability to maintain a...
Hey all of you who still exist here... LOL... We did finish up this wagon a week ago tomorrow. I will be posting a little more detail on it just to close out this thread... for phase 2. Jeff already...
That's awesome Jack. That dash reminds of one I just acquired. Planning to make a man-cave wall art piece from it.
And you seem to be handling the forum just fine from what I can see.
Scott - It really is amazing, having seen the wagon with my own eyes sunk into the ground, how nice a starting point it actually is. I'm excited to see this come together for you and your pops.

I don't think they are, but not 100% sure of it. I have rebuilt a lot of hinges and that seems to be the best route to take. Pretty easy to do and all the wear parts are available.
Well guys, we're all in the same boat. I'm down to one Falcon from my peak of three (holding onto the 63 Ranchero) and am just finishing the build of a members 63 wagon (see thread elsewhere - I need...
Key on these old Fords is to fuse, in some way, at the source. Falcons, and other early cars, had nothing between the battery and some small assortment of fuses. By the 65 model there was a small...
Nope. Between vactations, COVID (yep, I got it), lots of rewiring and probably some other things I'm forgetting, it's close, but no cigar. But here's a few pictures.
First set is of the motor in...
Hey Gordie - nice to meet you today. To answer your question: Usually not a good idea to post your personal data on open forums. They usually have private messaging, like we do here. That's better....
It wasn't much fun without you being there Gene. So you didn't really miss anything.
Just wanted to post a quick update on the wagon build. I apologize for the delay in posting. :(
The new motor is in as of today.

Last week I changed out the worn leaf springs and...
We just pulled a set of manual-shift pedals out of a 63 this last weekend. They will fit yours. Not sure what Jeff might want for them - you restore. I'll make sure he replies when he can. The other...
