Hello. I did end up getting the kit from Ben's appliance. Unfortunately I may have over torqued the scanner but to the threaded part. I noticed recently our washer not spinning properly again. I took it apart and found the parts threaded part, at the beveled section, had broken to pieces. I ended up ordering a genuine replacement and temporarily installed the plastic set up.

I think I used ammonia out of desperation. It seems to really clean the corrosion off. I ended up installing the agitator with inti-seize.

Great to hear!

It's from a 85 Nissan 720

I think it's worth it. Plus, the company that sells them is the original US company that originally sold them.

@@junkyyarddawg good to know! Thank you!

Glad to hear and thanks for the suggestion.

I used a kinetic tow rope to pull it about 1000 feet. It was an emergency as we were blocking an entrance ramp and a lane of the highway on the bridge overlooking the Red River on 20. There was a driver in the bus holding the brakes which made it harder to pull as she was afraid the bus would roll backwards then into my truck afterwards.

Yup real SOB to take off. Each time this has happened, I've had to try different methods, because the method I used prior didn't work again. They sell a metal one now. I bought a kit for it I saw on CZcams.

Hello. Sorry about that. There's really no tools required. You pull up on the cover for the shifter on the console. The cable end and bushing is popped off and on, almost like a hip and socked. Once the bushing is pressed on the cable end and installed on the socket, simply press on the console/shifter cover.

At least for a truck. I guess too expensive. I feel they're making a comeback though. I'm sure this was a low mileage engine too.

@@junkyyarddawg those 68 or so Lincoln 460s made 375 hp I do Believe.

@@davidreed6070 I'm positive you are right. My boss has a 70 460 Lincoln and it has a data plate on the radiator support.

@@junkyyarddawg If a person put a little cam in it and put it in a mustang or the like he would have a good running machine.

My best friend is doing that now. He has one built with heads, cam etc. He was going to put it in a Foxbody notchback.

Cool. It was in Minden Louisiana when I saw it. I'm sure it has an air bag suspension. Really neat truck.

That's correct 💯

Sweet!!

The 351 Windsor wasn't made until 1969. The 351 Cleveland wasn't made until 1970. The 352 was made from 1958-1967. It later became the 360, then 390 all the way up to the 428. It's a FE series engine which started at 332 cubic inches.

Right?! 😂

I was looking. Notice I tripped over a white tin on the ground. I flipped it over to make sure it was a vintage sign.

Like my 82 Datsun 720? There is a big block Ford in the back of it right now. Also been using it as a work truck for about 20 years and have pulled an E450 24 passenger bus with a 7.3 diesel, with it over a bridge. Check out the video.

Me too!! Ever since I was old enough to get in one.

Shoot, I'd rescue it myself lol. I have a 82 Datsun, wrong year and style. Puddin likes those 620s though.

I have the 67 I'm working on. The sad thing is this convertible is in better shape.

It's a sweet ride!

Yup Early 2011

It's in Shreveport Louisiana.

Thank you

I'll ask the owner. I know he has a Chevy big block in it.

@@junkyyarddawg My father passed away and I inherited his 97 Ranger. I won a 582 BBC that makes 950 on motor and sprays 600 at war in the woods. I use to joke with my dad about making his truck and drag truck. I’d like to make it a reality if I can.

The trunk was locked, but I did manage to take a peak through the convertible top. It wasn't in there unfortunately.

I would rather it be in Europe than in the junkyard. I hope to pull off as many parts as I can.

Sad but true. Believe it or not, there are two 66 Galaxies, a convertible 352 car and a 4 door 289 car at the other yard closer to my house.

Interesting. What about the grill? I'm heading back tomorrow and taking a closer look at the engine. They say it's a 352 but I'm starting to think it's a 390 at the very least. From what I read there were no 352 4 barrel engines made in 65 and 66. If it's a 390 or bigger, I am going to buy it, Well, even if it's an older 352 I'll take it. They were rated for good horsepower with a 4 barrel.

It's a T45

I ended up buying reproduction legs online from American Chairs. They still sell US made items for Diners etc.

That's so cool!!! I saw Butter crust bread being made on a school trip. I like your experience better 😁

Cool that you were able to fix it, a 30 minute job quick to turn to a long time.

Thanks! Yeah I was being excessive with it for sure 😁

It will be facing the wrong way as far as depressing the release button but I don't see why it wouldn't work. If you latch it to the passenger side from the driver side seat belt and it works. I think there a bell or chime wire for the seatbelt on the driver side if I remember correctly.

Thanks!!!

The clip locks the plastic ring with the splines on it to the steel splined shaft. Keeps it from popping out as backup to the screws I believe.

Thanks! It's going to be low budget for sure.

I found it at my local AutoZone. I'd do a Google search using that part number and see if you find it local if you haven't already.

I really appreciate the kind words. The hardest part of fixing something is starting to fix something.
