1968 Ford F-100 Shortbed info needed?
 
Just drove my new F-100 from N. Carolina to Texas and developed an oil issue. Before pulling the motor I would like to know the specs on a compression check? Was told that 40, miles ago the 306 inline eng. got bored out to 30 over, with new rings an bearings an such. Need to know the #"s I'll need to see with compression check? Anyone know?https://www.fordforum.com/forum/face...bicyclecharley

1968 Ford F-100 core support?
 
Where could I find an aftermarket core support(front radiator support)?
Mine is needing replaced an would rather replace than weld a bunch of new metal, but can if I can not locate new.
Thanks for all leads?

Have a few pics on my facebook/bicyclecharley if ya wanna look at this fine 68 shortbed!

LMC truck is a good place for a new one cause I don't about any salvage yards where you live. and besides you probably want one for a V8 so that new rebuilt motor doesn't get too hot with it being bored out the cylinder walls ain't as thick and can't take a lot of heat. finally you have one of the best engines Ford ever built those 300 inline six's are one tough motor and are known to give service for a long time as long as it's well maintained and not neglected much.
