that explains the leak. I took the filler plug out and some oil leaked out. The level was up to the plug, not half an half an inch below. I thought that was where it should be. The repair manual I have is not specific on the level. I will drain some out and see how it goes.

Thanks for the tip!

ok, so it leaks when it get hot. I do not think it would get hot enough during normal driving. I am just drivin around town, like an old lady i might add due to the gas prices. The temp should be in spec..unless something is wrong? maybe the oil is old and needs changing or something like a bearing ...

The vent is directly on the axle, very short, and has a cap on it that slides up and down. It is much like you would see on a front axle on a 4x4 slick. I can move the cap up and down easily. When I got the truck, the vent cap and the area surrounding it was caked with rear end oil and dirt. It must...

What would cause fluid to leak in small amounts from the vent tube on a 9" Ford rear? The leaking has been occuring for some time and happens while the vehicle is driven, not when it is sitting overnight. I checked the oil level, and it seems ok (not overfilled).

A kid near me saw my truck the day and made me an offer I could not refuse. I did not even have the time to install the great parts I got from ICEMAN. I even gave her a name (Bettie Lou) and I miss her already, but I now have some $ to find another. I am looking for 65 to 70 Ford w/good body and eng...

Left u a PM RE the parts shipment.

Thansk 4 the replies. I will try the cut out/wire wheel trick. I tried a little 3M body panel filler on a test spot. It fills in and sands down good. Not sure if long term if it might crack, but I like it better than Bondo.

What good methods should be used to clean all body seams of filler other than sandblasting?

Some of my seams have developed rust, but it is just at the surface and most likely due to the filler collecting moisture.

I went throught the same thing. I did rebuild mine first, but the truck ran even more rich than it did prior to the rebuild. I also changed the plug wires, dist cap and coil. Not sure if this was needed, but she runs great now. The auto parts guy told me the carbs warp over time. The guys that sell ...

I need some for my 64 4x4, count me in.

It has been suggested by another source, to fab the front ones from hockey pucks or an old tire. I have not resorted to this solution, but I may if all else fails..which is the case so far!

I was hoping to get some good front cab to frame rubber mounts from this. I have had no luck finding any so far.

I just changed my mounts 2 weekends ago. I got them from NPD. The stock ones had a metal washed embedded in the top and the replacements did not so not sure what that will mean in the future. When I took them off, the entire stud came out and the crown nut did not move. I also had to pound the studs...

well, you have at least a few guys here who would be interested in buying your fabbed mounts. let me know how it goes.

I like make it up yourself option. What did u start at for the base?

I dont see why i cant put the round rubber in place of the square one. if it's bolted down tight, its gotta be better than the rotten piece of square rubber i have now. yea i know..square peg in a round hole!

correction..the front cab mounts are square, the rears are round.

I have the square mounts. I was not aware they could not be bought new. What are my options? Damn why does the 4x4 have to be so hard to find parts for?

I am refering to the rubber mounts.

Thanks for the advice, it looks fairly easy to do.

How can I easily replace cab mounts w/o having to remove the cab with a lift? I thought of unbolting 1 side at a time and jacking the body up enough to get the old out and the new in, but worried about tweaking something.
