ArdWrknTrk Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 This forum does have a Marketplace section, where there is a Want To Buy category. In 1983 your Windsor truck would still have a mechanical clutch, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on the left of course is incorrect for my truck. I don't know where you can find one, although you may be able to find one if you had the part number and did some searching online. If you go to Documentation/Driveline/Clutches & Linkage and then the Clutch Release Lever tab you'll see the part numbers for that lever. Note that the only one that fits is for 1983 trucks, so you are looking for a needle in a hay stack! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that E3TZ-7515-D (listed for '83) has a ball attached like the new one in the pic. The only ones that pivoted on a bell housing mounted ball like your old one were 460s and diesels. SO, we need to know what your fork is originally from. Clean it up and see if you can find an engineering number on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do like he said and clean it up to find an engineering number. Does your bell have a mushroom post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 this was on a 302 and the bell housing fit so it must have been rigged up somewhere along the way I'd imagine the bell housing is from an '84 or later truck. In the 1983 Model year a Windsor would have a mechanical clutch. Does your door sticker say "complies for 1983 model year.."? Does it have a hydraulic or mechanical release? Thoroughly clean the part and post the engineering # you find stamped in it. Then we can help you find a fork that fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
