step by step thermostat replacement please
Could someone please give me a step-by-step removal and replacement of the thermostat in my 76 dent? My radiator sprung a leak, so I'm replacing/fixing the radiator, and replacing the thermostat. It's a got 73 390 2bbl. Appreciated greatly.

No offense man, but if you can't afford a Haynes manual, you really need to step back and think about whether or not old Ford pickups are a hobby you want to take on. If this is your only means of transportation, it's much more cost-effective to drop $700 on an early 90's Ford Escort. This truck is only going to get more expensive. I'm not trying to be "that guy;" I'm only trying to pass on realistic advice. I say this because this kind of situation has come up many times over the years and it's very difficult to give advice when the person on the receiving end doesn't have the means to follow through. Take that for what it's worth; more power to you though.
