Re: Rear end squealing/whining
The noise(s) has to be isolated and diagnosed properly.
Try to avoid the loaded PARTS CANNON APPROACH.
There will be DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINES in your WORKSHOP MANUAL.

What Mike posted is true. While the FYB is basically the same through all applications, the BIRD has some unique requirements (i.e. FRONT TIMING COVER - MOUNTS - WP SPACER...

Re: Rear end squealing/whining
That test is done with the vehicle raised. It will isolate any wheel bearing(s) noise.
Are you sure the noise is not coming from the clutch/trans?

The BLOCK CASTING ID NO. will be the same for a 2-bolt main or 4-bolt main.
The 4-bolt main block was subjected to a...

Re: Monterey hydraulic clutch conversion?
What you are describing can be done, but why would you do it on a driver rather than a HI-PO car? You have a FYB and 3/S TRANS?
You want an external slave cylinder?

Re: steering box
A lot of details are dropped from the CHASSIS and MASTER PARTS CATALOG as time goes by as many parts are discontinued and/or replaced by later issue.

Re: steering box
Again, one would need the CAN MPC to be positive before taken apart if the 54 box is CAN.
There were two US 1954 boxes and two US 1955 boxes. Attached (if it shows large enough to read) is the...

Re: Rear end squealing/whining
Maybe consider putting the rear axle on stands and try to source the noise with the engine running and in low gear.

Re: Horn “fade” on a ‘62
And there is your dinner ... ;)
There should be two horns (HI-LO) and a relay and horn button. Diagnose it and don't point a loaded parts cannon at it.

Re: steering box
If it is a 1955, either US or CAN, it should be a 2-tooth sector gear unless it was upgraded to a 3T somewhere in it's service history.

Re: A bumper question for 56's
While perusing and reminiscing ... :rolleyes:
I just noticed this car has a CONTINENTAL KIT. Now the question is it FORD or aftermarket? The exhaust would have to be modified/re-plumbed.

Re: Help with VIN
What is stamped on the frame rail is a PARTIAL VIN.
There was no VIN (partial) used on an engine until 1968.
As mentioned, you need to have the TITLE updated.
Now are you still wondering...

Re: Help with VIN
That is not the complete SERIAL NUMBER/VIN.
Show complete SERIAL NO as shown on the RATING PLATE on the glove box door minus the digits if concerned.
