Front end

[choll]

I just won a truck at Ft Lewis I just noticed the switch to engage the front end is missing from the dash. Does this mean that the front is always engaged and I just have to switch between high and low? It is a 1968 model

Sprag transfercase......me thinks.....

did it have the switch and it was removed or it was never there ..... the pic show that it never had the front transfer case switch ....and to change that , you'll need to replace or modify you transfer case .. one is easy ... the other is a lot of work .

Oh, it's not that much work, Maybe a days worth.

If it had a switch there would be air lines to where it once was. Also look for a small mounting bracket that the switch may have been on.

I have a horizontal switch level that's basically under the oil pressure gauge. Is that for an air shifted front end?

Jakob, yes.

Hey fellas, I share your Green Iron addiction and I often get caught up in the bidding frenzy, but before investing more thousands of dollars in trucks..... I would suggest you might review and/or purchase some T/M's...Or just do some comphensive searches on this site.

Lastly, ask questions to determine what you want and what you may be getting...

We were all newbies once (and in many ways I still am), it is better to learn here then experiment with $$$$$$ of dollars.

Best Regards
JR.

I'm waiting on my T/M's to arrive in the mail. I've already heeded that advice and ordered some, they just haven't gotten here yet

While paper TMs are nice, you can DL the PDF versions from this site for free. Bonus feature of that is you can search the PDF for specific words or phrases to cut down your search time.

Later,
Joe

I don't have Adobe at home yet, I have yet to get it downloaded. I have several of them saved to my computer though. Thanks for the advice!
