If fuel and brake lines are rusted as they probably are, please for
SAFETY of you and others replace with new esp. brake lines. The old
brake lines can rupture from the high pressure at a time you need them.

as i read your e-mail, you want to convert to a 3 on-the-floor, not convert
to a 4 speed. yes it can be done, buy a floor shifter from an autoparts
store, wack a hole in the floor and install it. 1) you will need to make or
modify the brackets to attach the shifter to the trans. 2) if you
I'm with Kurt on this. But it might be even easier than all that. First,
check to see if your shifter linkage arms are adjusted correctly. You'll need
a manual for this, unless someone here has a link to the procedure. With the
drawing and instructions in front of you it isn't all that hard

What??? You got a 261 for sale and you're near Chillicothe, MO? Is that
right? I, too, and fairly near Chillicothe. (Like on Walnut St.) Wouldn't
hurt to ask how much, although, being in Chillicothe, MO and not in CA, I am
somewhat limited in green. A local thing.

Hey guys, I just filled my rear end and 4 speed tranny with some 90w gear
oil the book told me how much to put in the tranny and how much to put
in the rear end but it did not specify how much I should put in the u joint
housing? how do you all lube this?
Thanks for all your great help,
Luke
I went through this when my U-joint failed (but not because of lack
of lubrication, but because the PO didn't put clips on the 4 bolts
that hold the yokes together).
There was a small access port on mine on the upper right as you look
at it from the access panel in the cab.
I presume the Okie repair bushing is the unit bushing/bushing/seal that is
installed as one piece. I have one of the NOS for my car but am afraid the
seal may be. even NOS, dried out. How can I get a new, fresh stock, seal for
this?? Thanks, Bruce

I Know I've written detailed How-To on this before , I'm sure
someone here will know how to search it out in the archives , it's
very simple if time consuming and you _MUST_ do it in the correct
order for it to work out correctly .

This is why it's so critical to have the truck _level_ when re-
filling the tranny ! the gear oil will flow through the rear tranny
bearing and fill the U-Joint cavity , albiet slowly so fill the
tranny untill it burps back out , wait 5 minutes and see if it'll

Re: Shifting Linkage
Yes , it all can be repaired and adjusted after you replace the
rubber bushings in both ends of the shirt rods but the _real_ way to
deal with this is : learn Square Shifting . when you're in the
