Ive got hhat appears to be a fine oil mist in my ‘66 fj45 LPB engine bay. Appears to be a right sided leak centered up haround the oil fill tube and the vac connection to the intake manifold. I do not see a PCV valve but I do see one on the SOR diagrams for the F engine.

On the inside c channel, in the area circled in red, I have bubbling, flaking rust.
I have a 2 short sections of spare internal c-channel. Not enough to repair the entirety of the internal framing.
Should I unbox the frame and replace the whole channel? Or is...
Introducing Rusty Griswold.
A 1970 US Spec FST rebuild by hOOter
Purchased a little while ago.
Little is known about its history. The last known residence is in a ranch in Louisiana as a hunting rig. 36509, 136509, 236509? Dunno.

I’m looking to separate seat sliders from a 70 FST. There is much internal rust.
I’ve read where one would grind off a bump and the top slides apart. I see 4 bumps on the bottom rail but only 2 are accessible.
Can someone point out which humps must go. What does one do to recreate this...
Should there be oil in the vac transfer case module assembly? In the FSM there is no mention of it and other that the ‘breather’ port, I don’t see a fill location.
I see a felt dust seal but I can’t find mention of it being filled with oil.

As the ad says, my unsynchronized first/reverse gear is pretty chewed up.
1970 3 speed trans
Need a nice used or new one to replace it.

Rebuilding the 3 speed and I have a spare tranny.
After disassembly, first reverse (unsynchronized ;-)) gear in both is kinda boogered up.
Should I run the ‘left’ gear or the ‘right’ gear?
Or neither?
Thanks!

I’m doing a refresh of a F motor.
Took the timing plate screws off and am replacing them with torx replacements.
The one closest to the crank gear felt different than the other two (never went over torque 16ft lbs)
I pulled it out and the far threads were marred
Low and behold, the one I took...
Any tips to removal of the manual heater control valve from the head?
I’ve got ‘Lefty loosey’.
More specifically, I can’t get a wrench on it very well and I fell like I’m twisting it instead of rotatating it. I put heat on it and gave it a small try before I gave it second thought.

Whelp, I need help to unravel a mystery.
In the tear down of a ‘70FST I’ve come against an issue.
F block is cast with 60030-11411

There appears to be a later head that I can not identify. (Casting numbers 60036 and 0413212)

Any tricks to remove the handle knob for a PTO winch?
There appears to be a cross pin. It appears to be peened in place and doesn’t move when struck with a punch.

Need a little direction on PTO winch rebuild
1) how does one remove the main gear. Brass worm gear is out but can’t seem to budge the gear keyed to the shaft?
I’ve read that I drive the shaft toward the dog clutch end but that’s not seeming to work.
Do I need to put something behind the...
