1967 is a transitional year, so a little more information is required. Are you working with a F135 or an F145 engine?

I have both types readily available. www.marksoffroad.net

Perhaps you can tell me?

Definitely F145

You can also run a 2F rocker arm assembly on an F145, but requires drilling and tapping a rocker tower and flipping the rocker arm tube. It worked well for me.

2F rocker arm shaft on a 1F

I’m rebuilding a 1F for my ‘65 45. I have a nice rocker arm assembly from a 2F that I’d like to use on it. The 2F rocker arm shaft has at least 2 problems: no hole for the 1F oiling tube and an oil galley hole to receive oil from the 4th rocker tower from the 2F. Instead of replacing the...

F145. I have about a dozen of those, all boxed. Give me a jingle on Monday and I’ll get you a shipping quote.

Thanks, be calling Monday.

With the brass tag stamped T-67 and by the VIN this appears to be a June 1966 build date. That would definitely have been a F135 from the factory. By the intake manifold made for and two barrel carburetor and one barrel carburetor with adapter would make the a 9/67-3/69 F145 engine.

@65swb45 I just found this thread and saw you had a bunch of F145 rocker shafts. Do you still have any available?

I definitely have some. I will not be able to inspect any of them until the end of the week. If you’re still looking for some at that point, please leave me a voicemail. If you’ve already found what you’re looking for, great.

Awesome, can do. What’s the best phone number for you?

Edit: sorry, never mind I see it now in profile. Thanks!

Left you a voicemail but wanted to follow-up here as well. I'm still interested in a couple of your cleanest F145 rocker shafts. I was able to find some but after receiving them, the shafts are in worse shape than the ones I've already got that I intended on replacing. Thanks!!

Sorry I didn’t call you back. I decided to change my company policy the day after I originally posted my reply.

Knowing that even though every other prior customer who has bought a set from my was satisfied, the last one wasn’t. So, I decided that I should only offer to sell units that I have completely torn down and inspected. And that is a really low priority for me.

I don’t work many hours any more, and the ones that I do command premium prices. So it’s not an efficient use of my time right now to tear down rocker arm assemblies to look for premium units for anyone other than customers whose trucks are broken down in my driveway waiting for one. Hope that makes sense.

Shoot, okay I understand. I tend to not be a squeaky wheel when I’m buying used parts from other people so if you have any sitting around on the shelf that look good to your eye, I’m game. If not that’s fine too. I appreciate the responsiveness.
