Not a member of the Arkansas Chapter. I guess I'm an 'outsider' here as well.

I'm a Bumpside owner (but I like all kinds of Fords, cars and trucks). --my 1969 F100 Ranger.

Still, as long as it doesn't have a Power Stroke in it.

I know where there's another '69. All it really needs I think is a front fender. Was a parts truck he ended up not needing much of. I've been trying to buy the wheels(aftermarket saw blades),but he wants to get rid of the whole truck.

Sometimes I love Ebay, NOS, in the box, correct t/s switch shipped to the door for about $20 less than O'Reilly's wanted for the automatic shift aftermarket one.

Hey Bill, I was looking at the '73-'77 steering column diagram you posted for Crop Duster and I've got a question.
Call-out number 3D655. Is that a spring that goes on the steering shaft between the top bearing and the steering wheel? If so, what's the full part number? I'm missing one.

I posted two pics for crop duster of 1978/79 F100/350 tilt columns, one with A/T, t'other with M/T.

The 3D655 spring you're referencing is the: tilt steering column position spring. It's not the upper steering column bearing spring.

1973/77: Here are two steering column pics: 1973 F100/250 2WD & F350 (upper) & 1974/77 F100/250 2WD & F350 (lower).
