okay I know this isnt the right section, but is anyone familiar with four wheel drive? Specifically with the operation of manual locking hubs? We have a 1971 ford f-250, 4 speed, 4x4, with i guess stock manual locking hubs, and I have no idea how to get them to lock?! the front driveshaft spins, and i have tried like every position on the damn hub ***** with no luck! any help would be greatly appreciated

Ryan, all it should take is locking the hubs. Are you sure the front drive shaft is turning? If you jack one side up, lock the hub and then rotate it in the forward motion, you should hear the hub engage and then there should be some resisiatnce while spinning it. If you do, I would look to see if the front shaft is turning. If it's not, there's a problem w/ the transfer case. Dumb question I know, but you are shifting the transfer case into 4 wheel drive right?
