    most of the time hood is hard to open

    standard protocall is to pull release handle and bump the front of hood centrally with palm of your hand to open them. I have 7-8 of them that will only open that way.

    F-350 Dana 60 Front Axle

    I know i've watched that extreme 4x4 and they said the mid 90's fords used the dana 50 straight axle kingpin. they even showed cutting ends off it and building a hybrid. That's where I based idea that it could be a dana 50. I have a true dana 60 kingpin single wheel from a 79 F350 in my axle...

    Vent window years.

    I'm pretty sure they interchange as noted by retro. Difference between them is thickness and the way the latch works. early ones didn't have the saftey buttom to keep them from being opened as easy from the outside. You will have to use your window rubber track out of your old one tho since your...

    Military 6.2 (help)

    I know the 6.2 in our buggy has been totally pegged on temp gauge more than once. when there so hot there smoking and sizzling there hot. It may just run better hot since it's wore out so bad, but I know we've tried to blow it up for 3 years now and it's still running.

    replaced heads/intake wont start

    I'm going guess he still don't have distrubuter timed right. If he is using top dead center with #1 valves overlapping it will be 180 out. #6 valves should be overlapping while #1 is firing. Use the terminal pointing towards #1 on distributer cap for #1 plug wire and go clockwise around...

    Sliding Back Glass

    I think the alumium frame ones were factory in most of the squares. I have several of them that were factory equipped ones. Most of the black ones I have have a aftermarket sticker on them. If you were closer I could hook you up on one, but I hate shipping glass

    1973 Engine harness

    I just pulled a complete harness out of a 76 C10 I'll dig it out and see if I can figure it out. From looks of your picture looks to be on the taillight harness. It's the flattest connector of the 3 that go in fuse box. There's not much to electrical system of the 70's trucks compared to the mid...

    Frame damage, heat with torch?

    looks like passenger side from angle of picture. You may want to invest a few bucks in getting local frame shop to pull it. Last one I had them do only cost me a $150.

    Frame damage, heat with torch?

    hook it to a tree and use a winch to pull it around where needed. Heat is a bad idea on a frame. Atleast it looks like damage is on passenger side where there's no steering box to fight with.
