Thank you one and all, for the help. Got some sharp minds on this
list. My son picked up a 351M balancer at a scrap yard for $25.00. Most
used parts places would'nt sell it seperate, said it's hard to sell the
whole motor with it missing. I WILL use the proper tool next time, this
is my first rebuild. I'm learning alot,"the hard way".
Thanks once more
Eddie

Do you mean two wheel drives or 4x4's? I have a 76 F-150 SuperCab two
wheel drive and it has coil springs in front.

Howdy!

I hope someone can help me. I am try to identify the type of
transmission my truck has ('63 F100, 292 Y-block, 3-speed, LWB Flareside).
All I have been able to find on the casing is as follows:
on the rear of the transmission: C3AR-7A040 with a large 'E' next
to the code
on the front of the transmission: C3AR-006 with a large 'E' next
to the code
Should there be something more that I am over looking?

One other question: Can anyone tell the correct level of gear oil
the rear end should have? I checked it and it is about an inch below the
plug in the rear.

Thanks in advance.

I've been trying to get a nice shot of my '73 F100 for my Web page. Why
is it everything takes talent! Every picture turns out looking like a field
with a truck in it!
Is it Saturday? Where is everyone? FoMoCo must have made Gary work today
;)
My Chilton shows F100 & F150 as having coil springs on both 4x4 and 2x4
thru '80. But you can't believe everything they say in a Chiltons! :)]-

Hi J.C.
My Chilton has the transmission code "E" as a Warner T-87-3 Speed. Your
rear ends gear oil level should be up to the bottom of the fill hole.
Later!
