I recently had the same thing. The ballast resistor was toast but so was the coil.

Is it shot? Or does the nv4500 have a fifth gear? That would be nice.

What trans do you have now?

Thats a nice looking truck.

What motor ? Slant six?

This one must have been mentioned but I have to bring the race car haulers from Mongoose and the Sake movie back up. Very cool.

I think just some jacking. Give it a shot.I did mine not long ago but replaced all the bracket bolts as I had different sizes from old swaps.

The rockauto items are different than what the op described for whatever reason.

If I have an electronic ignition module can an internal resistor coil be used to eliminate the firewall mounted ballast? I know this has been talked about but I'm seeing youtube stuff that is now confusing.

Will do. Thanks.

I have my 66 w-100 out at property to work on some firewood. After a couple loads I felt the clutch pedal change a tiny bit but the truck still shifted fine. I continued to haul a couple more loads and even drove to the store and everything worked. Later I decided to check the oil radiator and maste...

The rebuildable Saginaw has a big S looking raised bit if I remember correctly. I can't remember if you can see it while it's still mounted in truck.
As John said Bud will talk about it on the phone with you. He rebuilt mine and the truck went from scary to fun.

Probably expensive but might have to have some made.

I don't think swapping springs and axles is a huge problem. Especially if you like the truck. Even if you have to move spring mounts which I do not think you do.

I like it! Its cool that it is the last year of the swept body. Right?

I looked on rock auto under 1970 and they had them not too long ago. Is it not the same part? 40 bucks. I bought 3. Probably china/mexico?

I think a NP-445 is a pretty good trick to find? The NP-435 is a good transmission but..

Is the 383 beyond a rebuild? I think it is cooler than a 440 from a motorhome.

Sounds like a cool truck. Is it the yellow one in pic? Once you figure out the problem you will have a good rig.

Its sounding like this engine is a 413. Lots of potential issues from what I hear.
