i was wondering if your books can tell me what i got here . it's a 9 inch out of a 68 pickup 1/2 ton the tag on it what i can read is as follows WDH 4?EC{?} 379{?}50 8 and thats all i can read for now . nearest i can come from a chart i have is 63-67 econoline with a 3:00 gear . correct or what do you have ???? i'd almost say from the looks it was swapped in in place of the oe 9 inch but it fit just like it should . thanx in advance !!

 

same list / id chart i'm lookin ' at there you french guy you ................. the tag is pretty cruddy and bent so it's hard to read . thanx anway julie ....ooops french guy

 

No such thing as WDH it's either WDF (Econoline) or WDM (F100).

4EC is prolly the build date: 3rd week (C) of May (E) 1964 (4).

No such ratio of 379.

Look at the backside of the tag, it may be easier to read.

Common Econoline E100 1961/74 ratios: 3.00 / 3.25 / 3.50 / 3.89

Common 1960's F100 ratios: 3.25 / 3.50 / 3.89.

 

thanx bill . i cleaned the tag up , and with some imagination was able to kinda make out what it really was . wdm 28 spline , 63-72 1/2 ton , 3;25 ratio . the tag had the 3 and 5 legible and the m was so messed up it took some patience and cussing but got it !!!!!!!!!! sounds like a good ratio for me and the flatty . might actually be able to go faster than 50-55 for long periods , and it wont sound like the flatty is going to fly apart from being so wound up . thanx again , and thanx to you julie .

 

Hey Bill, how can I ID the 70's steering column (tilt) I asked you about on the engine forum? I think it's from either a 77 or 79 F-150. I'm having nuetral safety switch problems. Tranny is FMX.

 

bill needs his own chrome and neon plated sticky up at the top , ASK THE PARTS GURU , then we could all just go there for our answers , LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Where is the Neutral Switch, on the column or on the transmission? / On the column: 1973/77 / On the transmission: 1978/79

 

I haven't seen one on the exterior of the FMX, so I will ***-U-ME that it's on the column. Is it located behind the selector indicator?

 

NSS: Bottom of the steering column 1965/77 F100/350.
