Oh, is the the old springs on the hinges thing?

Garbz and I found out that that was another mid '64 change too. He has one without, I have one with springs on the hinges.

Cool, that's a great little tidbit-o-info to know! Got that one burned into the 'ol memory bank. :thumright:

Part 2- is this something to do with the floating gas pedal? changed 1/2 way thru '64 according to the LMC catalogue?

Probably 1/2 way through 65. My 65 has got the bottom pivot style & my 66 has the floater.

I see why they changed them too, the bottom pivot style gets stiff after a while & can actually make the engine idle high... especially in cold weather.

after the heater vent warms it up its usually ok.a stronger spring did not help much.

I stand corrected. See, that's how easy it is. :mrgreen:

Oh, I could go on and quote Mercury part numbers, and tell you about how I once read and remember the entire Ford archives :bs:

but I will dispense with that, and admit I was wrong :wink:

Still have part 2 to answer :hm:

& by the way floating gas pedals started by somewheres in the middle or late 1965,,, Not 64 like Larry, Moe & Curly says :lol:

My 62 doesn't have a cleanout plug below the hinge, 64 does.

But didn't we cover that one before?

6166 Junkyard Dog · Post by **6166 Junkyard Dog** » January 4, 2007, 6:56 pm

Johnny I thought you would get a kick out of that , Really all joking aside for the answet you would have to have at least a 61 or 62 or 63 cab & or any of the 4,5,6 cabs to see the difference & its very noticeable

Johnny Canuck · Post by **Johnny Canuck** » January 4, 2007, 7:33 pm

I know.

I almost ran out and unlocked the '63 from her winter lockdown to check the difference at noon. But I was too hungry LOL

so it's not the cleanouts, right?

We have another WINNER

Mike is right on top of it, the lower door hinge pillars is exactly where I was refering to,, Really parts are different in looks but still will work on the applications But it was a good way for everbody to put there thinking caps on, I have another Trivia ? but will have to wait since I have to go to TN To pick up A Roadrunner to deliver to Long Island But I had a Blast
