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.

Ed Browder ------------------------------ From: "Randy Selby" Subject: Clutch Size Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 20:46:36 -0500 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.

Hey guys, I am new to the list so I will give a brief introduction. My name is Chris Chambers and I am from TN. I own a sign shop specializing in vinyl graphics. For some time now I have been trying to complete a panel truck to advertise the business with and make deliveries. Only a Ford will do, I am a Ford man through and through. Anyway, I originally started on a 40 model but found a 60 model and traded for it. At the time it was running and driving. But it was set on a station wagon frame and the wheelbase was not correct. I have since found a 59 pickup with a 289 and automatic that I now have stripped down to the frame and am about to set the panel body on it. Now for my question, The front suspension is fine by me for the time being although I have had people say that thye are unsafe. It seems to handle fine but I really would like to add powers steering and a tilt wheel. While I have it apart would be the best time to do it. What is the most economical way to do this? I recently read an article about a Chevy conversion using later model pump and brakets on a 50's model truck. Is this possible on an old Ford truck. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. -Chris ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 00:37:31 -0400 From: Ken Payne Subject: ADMIN: 39-69 shop manuals To all Ford Truck Enthusiasts list subscribers: The good news is Ford Truck Enthusiasts continues to grow.

Pietsch) Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 02:06:45 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Chassis parts Hi all. For some time now I have been toying with the idea of stretching my '56 and making an extra cab out of it. I have obtained a 3/4 ton rolling frame and am thinking about cutting a section out of the frame rails to use as a spacer to lengthen my existing frame. I have a set of 4, stock 16" split rim wheels, the front and rear axle, (haven't checked the ratio) and a pretty decent pair of running boards (the long ones) that I am not going to be using. There is also the clutch and brake pedal assy. with master cylinder available. If any one is interested in any of these parts, let me know.
