Beau Boy Blue

Post by Twitch »

This is my families newest project.

Image

We have called him Beau.

He is a 1970 F100, 360 V8, 4 speed Manual transmission.

We picked him up for $200.00 due to the rear wheel locking up.

On the fourth, hubby and I tore apart the rear brake drum, and found that the grease seal in the rear passenger side has blown. It spewed grease onto the drum and seized it up. Got the replacement part ordered, and having the community college working on replacing the bearing and pressing the axle.

Quick question though, what is the bracket style on the wipers for this truck? It is parked out at my dads ranch since we aren't allowed to work on our cars at our place.

We have a replacement hood and bumper, still looking for the proper grille.

what do you mean bracket style for the wiper? and for your rearedn. make sure to cleasr the vent tube so the seals wont leak again on hte rear end.

eidt: the wiper arms are the same from 65-79. the blades are also the same. 15 inches.

NVM, got the parts, replacing them this weekend, along with the repress. I'll make sure to have them clear out that vent tube. I am sure they will.
