I've taken the ball hitch off of the '66 I bought last Fall. If you still need one get back to me. D2

Thank you very much for the feedback

I've tried to find a copy of this manual in decent condition and have not been successful. Does anyone have either one For Sale or an idea about a good source where I might purchase one?

I have to replace the transmission boot on one side of the tranny and will have to also top-up the fluid level.
