I don't think the 63 had anything at the bottom as it went down on the steering box. I could be wrong but I think anything with the shaft coming out of box were that way.

Decide how big you need, add 10%, then double it. It will be big enough till you move in. Now to be serious build as big as you can afford.

If they are 5 on 5 1/2, Hollander shows a 55 to 60 International will fit ford and I believe they would have had clips


Johnny

Try older type (mom and pop) parts store. They might have one from back in the day.

Back in the day flashers were rated for the number of bulbs ( when you added a trailer you went from a 2 to 3 ) look on end of flasher it will tell if this old.

The hole in the cab corner was probably a big antenna, fleet type radio before CB. I like the idea of using the CV floor.



Johnny

They did not use screws, the bumper was just pushed into the hole. Use lube and a small punch in the hole in the center and it will go in,

If you can get return hose off easily, start engine for a few seconds it would clean entire system. Might over fill before starting or pour some in while running and move wheel back and forth
during flush.

I would guess the thing in bed has to do with the air ride.


Johnny

Did anyone notice that the bed mouldings are on the wrong side (right on left, left on right). I could reverse them if it was in my garage.


Johnny

You will have to shorten to fit (about 6") and bolt will fit in dimples in floor, cut off the front. Weld up a few bolt holes and drill others. That's all I did to put an 87 in 66, center section only.



Johnny

Might get better results if posted in parts wanted.

I would check timing on the 4th cylinder in rotation which I think is 6, it should show the same as 1 if different a broken cam could still be turning but be a few degrees late.
