I would like one that approaches OEM quality so I do not have to suffer from rust bleeding under the top plate, peeling, blisters, etc. of the cheaper ones which is so common. As long as I am asking, I might as well ask if there is an aftermarket Ford parts business which specializes in grills, bumpers, padded dash, headliner, upholstery, knobs, and other items for this year?

It will be louder as you pass a curb or building with the driver's window down. You can usually look at noisy u-joints and see bright metal or rust powder all over the offender. -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-) 1979 F150 Custom, Long Wide Bed, Regular Cab, 351M, C6 (Henry) http://www.ford-trucks.com/jlagrone/henry.home.htm Dearborn iron rules!!!! ------------------------------ From: "rich" Subject: Re: Score!!!!

Paul Rozell >> Paul, Get an Automatic Transmission Service Group (ATSG) book on the C-6. Most parts places can order you one, you can find them by searching for ATSG on the net. Or their phone number is 1-(305) 670-4161. Cost is some where between $10 to $20. In my opinion these books are great, you will not have many questions with them. Yes, there are some special tools, however, I made most of the ones I needed, compressed air is very useful, along with a dial indicator. You can get a rebuild kit (clutches, bands, filter, seals, and "O"-rings) for $50 - $60 and get a rebuilt valve body (price?). Then just to make sure there is not much left to chance you can get a new oil pump for around $80 and torque converter for around $100 if needed. The good part is these trannys usually work when you get through. Good Luck Burt Hill Kennewick WA 1972 F-250 4x4 460 ------------------------------ From: "Tim and Pam Allgire" Subject: Re: Score!!!!

Hey All- I've started to notice that two of my trucks (76 F-250 4x4 and 67 F-100 2x4) when pushing on the clutch pedal initially, will draw the brake pedal to the side and wiggle it. Basically, it's kinda scary to be able to feel your brake pedal wobble as you use the clutch. I was curious as to anybody having a kit that includes new bushings to fix this, or do I just have metal sleeves, or rods that run through each other that are worn out? Anybody tear one of these assemblies apart? I don't want to get into it if I'm not going to be able to solve it in a matter of hours. On a side note- I put a Hurst 3 speed column to floor shifter conversion into the '67. Talk about a royal pain in the you-know-what!!! I highly suggest people pull the tranny while doing this, rather than trying to do it all in the truck. (although it is possible as a lot of swear words proved last night). 2nd gear is a reach and a half, and I've only screwed up thinking reverse was a creeper gear once (thank God nobody was behind me!- blame it all on my NP435's in everything!)
