Thanks to you both for your advice and information.

I've been unable to find the wedge spacers for the upper ball joints. Can either of you tell me who's got 'em?

I've only played with a few Fords, after the flat-head era. My first car was a 5 year old '51 Ford with a FH six. I paid $450. for it. Great car!

Historically, I've been a Chevy man (mostly with sixes and Chevy II - Mercruiser 4-bangers) But, I loved the looks of the Rancheros and figured learning the idiosyncrasies of the Fords will keep me busy for a while!
