Has anyone tried the rosin core wire welders? They are wire feed and
slightly cheaper than the MIG setups. If anyone has used one please let
me know. I am also in the process of making a decision on a
welder.Thanks.

I'll vouch for Don, I've used the alternative method mentioned in my Haynes
manual with success. I'm also not sure it makes any difference when
bleeding the brakes though... :-)

Subject: '64 F100 Rear End Q's

I'm new to working on my truck and this list so have
patience, and please correct any terminology or naming
of parts. Let me know if I've left out any details that are
relevant to my problem. I'm familiar with working on
vehicles, (the make of which is probably unmentionable
on this list!) but I haven't done much with my truck until
just recently. I'll make a separate post describing the
truck later, sounds like this group will appreciate it.

My '64 F-100 is having problems stopping. I found
differential fluid coming out and proceeded to dismantle
the brakes to replace the axle seal. The unit came apart
rather easily (I had the rear bearings replaced a few
years ago), but I have a few questions.

1) What's the correct way to remove the old seal.
I can think of lots of incorrect ways! I need to take it
to the shop to get the proper replacement, I already
bought a wrong one.

2) Are the paper gaskets between the cover plate and
brake backing plate and between that and the diff housing
available or do I have to make my own?

3) I found some metallic chips behind (diff side) the seal.
Is this as bad as I think it could be? Such as the gears
in the diff going bad? Say it ain't so!

4) Does anyone have a diagram of the parts in this area
they can send me pmail?

5) How much interference fit should there be between the
OD of the bearing and the ID of the housing?

6) I'm on digest (at work) so please cc pmail, but then again
I've been working on this problem for 3 weeks, so what's a
little time shift from being on digest!

Don,

The speedometer gear on my truck has five gears. I will try
Obsolete Ford sometime this week. Does anyone know if they have a web
site. If I have no luck with them could I possibly buy the gear that you
might have in your garage? Thanks.

Dave: I came across a "Collision Estimating Guide book" by Mitchell
that has a lot of part numbers for the body,trim and some of the
suspension. This is the closest I've come to getting part numbers for
the 73-79 trucks.

If you need a specific number and it's in this book, I'll be glad to
give it to you .

Thanks

Dave,

As the M-Block devotee, doew the M block use the small 5.0 5.8 block
transmission bolt pattern for a c-6 or a big (460) block transmission bolt
pattern.---------
