T-case adjustment 1968 t shift

[Brad1g]

I'm not going to lie, I don't know anything about these Broncos. I'm working on a 1968 Bronco at the rod shop where I work. How do I adjust the t-case linkage? T shift style, it doesn't want to go all the way up and lock into the detention. Thank you in advance, Brad

I don’t remember any kind of real adjustment per se. Just making sure the internals are free to move and it’s lubricated properly with either 50w motor oil or a light gear lube (like a 75w/90 synthetic) that doesn’t have additives to deteriorate bronze or other soft metals.
Does the shift handle still have the full chrome “T” with the black push button on the left? Or is it something different?

Also, does the bronco have a body lift?
Stock body mount insulators are 3/4 of an inch tall and made of rubber, while aftermarket can be rubber or polyurethane.
A 1 inch body lift is usually integrated into the single insulator bushing, while 2 and 3 inch lifts are typically a phenolic resin, or aluminum block on top of the three-quarter inch tall insulators.

Body lifts usually create a tighter fit between the shift lever and the trans tunnel. Limiting the travel of the shift lever.

Don't forget about wear on the shift fork or hub.

From the Ford Manual, but as mentioned above verify no interference between linkage and sheet metal.
