Wondering if anyone knows where to get parts for a rebuild. I might need syncros etc.
When I down shift mostly 3rd and 1 gear there is a slight grinding of the gears.

David Kee is your friend for anything Top Loader related.
I second David Lee!
Good luck!

I meant Kee, not Lee…damn spellcheck…
David Kee has been difficult to reach for many. You need to keep trying.
Another option is Dan Williams in NC. I believe he is outside of the affected areas. Be sure you have a chair handy and are ready to listen. (828) 524-9085
Before I started down the path of thinking a rebuild is in order, I’d make sure that the clutch free play is adjusted properly, your Z-bar and linkages are in good condition, and that you’re running a GL-4 single spec conventional gear oil. The multi-spec GL4/GL5 oils don’t work well in an old toploader. You can get the GL4 oil from NAPA, Amazon, the Ford dealer, etc.
