Michael,

When I did mine I used the original axle location. Scribed it on the frame
before we cut the old spring mount axle out. I also went with ladder bars
but used coil overs. I can make some measurements tonite and let you know
tomorrow. If you want I can send some pics of mine offlist..

John

Hi Mike, nice to know a fellow detroiter is a FTE member in good standing
A surefire way to center your axle on the frame is to drop a plumb bob down
from the hole made for your original axle bumpers, should be dead center.

Bruno,
My 52 F-3 flatty V-8 had light green (under some blue a previous rebuilder
painted). The weird thing is that on the back of the engine behind the
flywheel, it was red. Call it a calico motor if you like, but it looked like
the light green was the color of the rest of the engine.

Removed the clutch that wouldn't release and found something odd. The pressure plate fingers are rubbing on the disk hub when the peddle is depressed. Checked orientation, can't be backwards, hub won't allow disk to go the other way. Pressure plate says "Model 9 1/2 CF", is this the proper clutch for a '50 F-1 239 3-speed trans on the floor? My red book says 10 or 11 in were only options. This is the clutch that came with my basket-case truck. Everything bolted up perfectly, so I didn't suspect it at the time. Turns out to be a major boo-boo on my part, had to miss my exhaust system appointment because I couldn't drive the truck onto the lift.
