I have a 73 and i buy new parts local " NAPA " ,or Bronco Graveyard. L M C parts are not as good as Bronco Graveyard or local dealers. Springs you can get or have made at most spring shops. I buy a lot of new and used off of Ebay , but be careful you can get burned there . My $.02 worth. _:)

Good morning.__:)__JIM

It's been about 18 years but i got one from,"Tee-Bird Products Inc. At www.tee-bird.com Like i said it's been awhile but a good place to check. :)__JIM

I saw that video but forgot to save it, thanks for bringing it here i will save it now.__JIM__:)

The picture may be wrong unless it was a photograph taken of a backing plate , i thought they were the same. But then i'v been known to not know what i'm talking about .

I never have and been building engines since the early 70s. Never had a head gasket let go on any of them.

Since you are undecided still and ask, here it is. Do your self a favor and do as " rick55" suggested on 2-20-2012 post # 155 and forget the old "heat exchanger / cooler " . Put a good one in front of the radiator. I have been doing it that way for 20+ years and have never had any problems with...

I rebuilt my 56 gear at least 15 years ago but can not remember how i did it. I looked in my shop manual and the only seal i can see is at the upper end of the gear box. It look's to be inside the steering shaft cap. I don't see any retainer clips or anything holding it so it looks like you...

Yep they should fit , look just like the ones on my 56 fairlane.

Check with Marti Auto Works , www.martiauto.com , they make them for a lot of Fords.___:)__JIM .

Some T-10s have both patterns , if yours is that way it will fit a lot of different ford vehicals. The last one i had was that way it was made for the 64 falcon /comet , later they dropped the old pattern off . The top loader was done the same way for a few years. During the same early years...

I had one but i traded it for an AOD, not sure if that was a good move or not. Mine was planed to go behind a 292 Y-block . I friend of mine did put one behind his 64 pickup with the 292 Y-block , i sold him my shifter which have become pretty hard to find used.

Thanks that is good information for others but i don't need to find it again. It was a one owner car when i got it and i later restored it for my son. Its been sitting in my shop for the last 17 years because he never did come and pick it up. .

I had the body off of my sons 56 Fairlane about 15 years ago and as i was prepping the frame for paint ,i found the cross member number. One on the top side right front frame rail and i believe i saw another one but don't remember where.

Sometime in the 60s , my first one was a new 64 falcon. A lot of the old timers never liked them , they said they had problems with them , i never did. I liked the system well enough that i converted my 56 fairlane over to self adjusters by using the parts from 70s era ford 1/2 ton pickup ...
