Not a total newbie here, I think I was a member back in the early 2000's and had several '57 Ford wagons and sedan delivery's. Anyway, they're gone but I just bought a '58 F100 SWB pickup and its got a 272 motor and a 3 speed manual trans. The motor ran when the guy drove it home 15 years ago but now its stuck. He didn't try very hard to get it loose and that will be my first priority when I get it home tomorrow evening. Any suggestions other then the old standby of diesel fuel and tranny fluid down the cylinders? I've got a few questions now and I'm sure I'll have lots more when I get the truck home and start looking it over. One question is whats the best conversion for front disc brakes? Is there an easy swap for good power steering? Also, when I was looking under it the other day I noticed that the 9 inch pumpkin had the two vertical ribs, isn't that a good indicator of a nodular case? And one more, I like the looks of the '57 grills, is this an easy swap from the '58? Thanks for any and all info and I look forward to learning from you folks.
