79 f150 5.0 4speed toploader clutch fork mounting
hey i have a 79 f150 with a 302 and a 4 speed toploader. i cant seem to find any pics or anything else on mounting the clutch fork. if anyone would happen to have any part numbers for whatever keeps it on, pics, or detailed instructions i would greatly apreciate it. i havent been able to make it to the local pick n pull to look at the way it is it mounted on 70's fords. thanks.

I'm not sure if it's the same on the 302s, but on the 390s with the truck 4 speed there's a bracket riveted inside the bell-housing with a rectangular hole cut in it (looks like a piece of angle iron) and the clutch fork has two flat steel clips on the back that hold it to the pivot.
Could you post a picture of your bell-housing? That would help, you might be missing the pivot or something. I'd post a picture of mine, but it's all back together and in the truck.

hmmm my ipod didnt post the reply i typed up earlier before i had the pics.
im looking in hte macs catalog and for 65-72 f100-f600 theres a clutch fork trunnions (pivots) which is whats on my bellhousing. i will upload the pics in my next post. but the fork doesnt stay on the trunnion on the bellhousing if i remember correctly. these are the best pics i could get for the lighting outside. i might go back when its dark so a flashlight will help much more. im also needing the bushings and washers for the equalizer bar. where could i get a hassle free complete kit for those? also would it be hard to put the clutch fork dust boot on after the engine and everything is bolted up? as in do it at a later date? i need to get the truck on the road before winter and i will need that boot before winter. thanks
