I am struggling with this page in understanding how to use it but I bet I figure it out through my project of restoring this family truck.. it has been in the family since it was a year old and it has spent its whole life outside till now.. ol yeller has a bay in my shop for life!!.. I will post a pic when I figure it out!

What kind of parts, exactly? Any auto parts store should carry all the basic parts you'd need, like ujoints and bearings...

Struggling with some transfer case seals.. and a speedometer cable.. I have absolutly no cable to even reference it too.

Here is a link to a 1970 manual, most parts are the same...I can look up parts if you tell me what specific ones they are...you gotta remind me though...I get busy and distracted.

ive got 3 trucks here all 4wd 3/4 tons. what ive found is that they all didn't run the same t-case. two of them have the good old np205 (68 and 71) the 69 has one like ive never seen before and the tags gone. if yours has an aluminum round plate on the rear of the case, below where the drive shaft comes out its a 205. parts for these are easy to come by. I have no idea about the other case tho

 

[DNFXDLI]

Pretty sure the other one is a Dana

 

[1970Custom]

The other case used was a Dana 24. Just as good as a 205 but not as common...



EDIT: from Rodger's post it's a Spicer, I've been calling it a Dana....

I just got back from the auto parts store and i was suprized that all 4 shocks arnt offered threw bumper to bumper. im not even goin to waist my time with the big chain stores, they'll never find the rite ones anyway

 

[Brian Syslo]

Can anyone tell me if the #1 on my distributor should be at 6:00 (twords the radiator) or at 1:00 pointed twords the driver

 

[Fellro]

It all depends on how it is set by the previous owners. It cane be set in backwards and still run as long as the wires are set to match. Find where the wire is for that plug, and have the distributor rotor point to it.

 

[wizzard351]

yep that's how I set dizzy. just bring #1 top tdc drop in the dizzy and wherever it points is now #1 in firing order

 

[5.0Flareside]

It's supposed to be @ 1 o'clock and firing order is counter clockwise.

That would be the appropriate place. I am used to dealing with real world where unless it is removed, it might not be there. The biggest thing is that it matches the cam and crank, the direction is a convenience of sort to have it in the right place so you don't have to guess on all of this. I have seen many that were half off and they moved the wires to match.

thanks flareside... that is were I had put it but the ford shop manuiel said most were at 6:00 and that confused me.. I am getting it better and better all the time.. a lot less oil leaks I built new exhaust and a new clutch.. after basically sitting for 15-17 years. RIP uncle Bill on this memorial day..
