With my tranny using all five gears now it is time to work on the rest of the truck. What I am looking for is information to find windshield seals for both the glass and frame, along with straps for the pioneer tools, five gallon can and cargo bows. If anyone knows where I can get these please...

fifth gear sychro replacement Thanks to all that helped me with instructions to pull the main shaft. I found why there was no fifth gear. The thrust washer for fifth gear was missing about half of the washer. When it broke it must have fell into the sychro and broke the brass cage and ground...

I finally realized that I need to replace my fourth and fifth gear synchro. Now I need to find parts to rebuild it. Does anyone out there know were I can pickup the parts or better any who could do the rebuild. I have the complete repair manual so I know I could do it myself, it is just a matter...

There are a couple of teeth missing, but I can engage fifth by sliding the cage back and forth. I am wondering if the fork has moved where I can engage fourth with no problem but I am short for fifth. The lock down screw is still safety wired. But that does not mean it did not move.
