salvage yard trip

Post by import600 »

I hadn't been to a slavage yard to actually pull parts until today. I had an good time, I'm sure i'll be back, I got a F600 cluster for 5 bucks. It was excellent.

The main reason i went there was to find the linkage from steering column to transmission. I found a donar truck with the right parts and began to pull it apart. Good thiing is I hadn't seen an actual c6 linkage until now. so i now know how it works/looks. but it was stuck good. stuck so good, i'm going to have to go back.

The rubber grommets on all of the joints won't budge, what do you guys suggest to do to them to get them to slip easier? where can I get them replaced (so i can maybe cut them)? thanks :thup:

Dang...

I can't even find an F-600 around here...
I have called or checked all the yards within a 50-60 mile radius from me.
I'm not even looking for the instrument panel, but would certainly nab one for my '68 CS if I found one for $5.00.
I'm looking for a decent radiator support for my '68 Ford B-500 bus "Olde Skool" (one from a '67-'72 F-500-750 should fit)...

I think the shift linage grommets are still available from Ford. You should also be able to get them from doorman.
