Hey thanks for looking. I just picked up a very clean 1971 521. The truck runs great for its age. We mounted in a set of leather seats out of a mach 1 stang and started preping the inside for new carpet. I will try to take a few pics when i get back to the house on sunday.

I am in need of a few parts. and have a few questions.

First off i need to find the little plastic speedo gear that sits in the transmission. If any one knows where i can find one that would be great.

Second i need to find a P-side window.

And finaly i am looking for info on swaping out the old 4 speed for maybe a newer 5 speed. The stock transmission works but it is starting to show its age. I figure if i am going to replace it and there is a 5 speed out there that will bolt up the the L16 then why not.

Any way thanks for any help.

for that window take out the left side and send it to the glass shop. if you cant find one any where the glass is flat and most glass shops should be able to take care of it.dont forget to take the chanel in with you so they can mount the glass in it they usually dont charge for this service(learned that after breaking one on a 46 international)
