65 F100 wire that holds clutch release fork to later model clutch fork
« on: October 06, 2020, 11:34:39 PM »
My 65 F100 has the wire that holds the clutch release fork to the bellhousing

Were the 65 cars the same way ??

I wish to convert the 65 F100 to a later fork with the tang on the fork
.......................................................................

 Got this from NumberDummy:

The C3AZ7515C is the wire style fork. D0TZ7515A is the later style Train was talking about.

And the fork pivot bracket was part number C8AZ7522A. Replaced by C8AZ7522B. Discontinued. But the D0TZ7515A has a divot in it for the rod to PUSH it
...
Hey guys. I can help here. OP, look at the back of your clutch fork. If there is a tongue shaped spring on it that fits in to a rectangular hole in the trunnion then it is fork number D0TZ7515A and trunnion number C8AZ7522A. If there are opposing holes in the fork for that crazy glorified piece of coat hanger wire number C6AZ7562A to attach it to the trunnion and be an anti rattle spring,then it is B9AZ7522A trunnion and C3AZ7515C fork.

...


Any have the parts and wish to sell ??

Finally getting time to redo the old truck ...

If the pivot is held on by two screws with beveled heads, the Mustang repop guys sell them.  There is a SBF one that looks like it will work and Mansfield Mustang sells a repop CJ version that I just used one a Lakewood bell for a 68.5 CJ that I expect would be perfect for you.  I also see them on Ebay, pretty cheap if someone doesn't want to part with one

What month did that change? I had a pickup bell housing with a wire in it like the 63 Galaxie. Seems my other two or three have the clip.

Hey :-)

I believe 67 and up trucks went to the tongue type fork

I forgot what year cars changed while I was researching,  seems some 66' had tongue type fork

The 6 cylinder pivot brackets look different to me than the V8 pivots as well
