Ah yes. The good old Ford plastic timing gears. I totally stripped one in my Cougar showing off. Funny thing was that it kept running until I shut it down a mile or so later. Replaced it with an all metal one.

Wow! Talk about a trip down memory lane. I still have my '66 F250 in storage. Bought it in '72. I have so many memories of hangin' out under that thing. Two engine transplants, three or four transmissions, rebuilding the Twin-I-Beam. Anyway, thanks for the ride. Don't forget to save that 9-inch for a future project. They are getting scarce.

It took you that much work to take apart that 55 year old truck because, wait for it,

They are built FORD tough. [cl

I'm not sure it was they were built ford tough or Ford was afraid they were going to fall apart.[ddd

Well, whats it doing? Sitting in storage, you you can't enjoy it there.

The 9 inch is going back in the truck. It will Get rebuilt along with a limited slip put in it.
