Yeah. Sorry about that.
But the info you provided is still going to be helpful to any others that may come across this thread.

I've had this truck since new (that's a long time) and I'm sure I've forgotten some of the changes/improvements/mods I've made over the years. I don't know what all I forgot. Sometimes I come across some of my earlier work (like 25+ years ago), and think this looks like s**t or how could I have done such a crappy wiring job - then I redo it correctly. Age and experience can be a good thing when it comes to working on stuff like this.

I do keep a little book with the part numbers for gaskets and various parts I consider consumables on my truck. Once I get these u-joints figured out I'll add that info to my book.

I owned a '65 F100 for 44 years (3/1965-11/2009) and in 1981/83, made a few changes, converting it from a Standard to a Custom Cab, adding the optional oil/temp gauges, building the original 352 to a 390.

Did I write down any of this jazz? No, because I have a very good memory, so when I sold it (went "across the pond" to Sweden), I informed the buyer what I had done.

When members say they are either taking their truck apart and/or are swapping parts, I tell them to take dozens of pics and record what the swapped parts came from.
