Donadio" Subject: Mystery clutch Hello Fellow Ford Truck Enthusiasts, I am having a puzzling problem with my stock '59 F100. One minute I have a clutch and the next I don't only to have it reappear and disappear in a never ending cycle. When the clutch "goes south" I have to shut the truck off to get it in first or reverse; then, upon starting the truck, the clutch only partially disengages. The clutch and pressure plate have less than 2,000 miles on them and the master and slave cylinders were rebuilt less than 1,000 miles ago. The truck is rarely used and seems to have developed the problem during the winter months when it was stored. Any suggestions as to what is going on? Thanks in advance, Paul '59 F-100 Custom Cab ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2000 22:07:15 -0400 From: eddieh compunet.net (Eddie Honeycutt) Subject: Re: Mystery clutch Paul, Sounds like you may have had some moisture in one of the clutch cylinders and the cylinder walls have rusted a little allowing the fluid to bypass the piston. Using a brake hone or some fine sandpaper to clean the cylinder walls should stop this.. Eddie 57 F-250 272 4SP 455 Dually "Paul J.

I stripped the pickup down to the frame and sandblasted away for about 45 minutes, then I sprayed the clean frame with some black antirust enamel. Now that I have the body on the frame I need to bring the front end down at least 2 inches. Is there an easy way to lower the straight axle set up without making a big mess. If it can't be done easily and safely I just won't mess with it I am also interest in the Isuzu gas tank, does this put the filler cap in the center of the back of the bed? I would also like power steering and a tilt wheel. Has anyone done any swaps lately, something out of a junkyard maybe? I have inlaws that run several junk yards and could obtain a tilt wheel if I knew whichone to look for. -Chris ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2000 22:55:07 -0400 From: eddieh compunet.net (Eddie Honeycutt) Subject: wheelbase How is the wheelbase measured on a truck.?

As far as the gas gauge the 91 trooper came with the gauge in the center console and it looked like a 1 1/2" gauge, what I thought on doing was putting it in a single gauge bezel and hanging it from the bottom of the dash.When I put electronic oil and water gauges in my 60 I went to the yard and got a another panel and intrurment cluster and removed the glass and gauges and reassemblyed it and put a 2 1/8" hole saw in my drill press and very carefully drilled out the openings. They were 2" opening stock. I then cut a piece of acrylic the same size as the glass and installed it and then drill the holes agian so the gauges would fit from out side the panel so the only stock gauges I have are the gas gauge and the speedo. Bob Wood 60 F100 PS sorry I got carried away. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 13:39:18 -0500 From: Laura Nelson Subject: cracked frame Dear Fellow Truckers, My mechanic pointed out that my 1958 F100 has a cracked frame in the rear on one side, cracked all the way through on the left, and is cracking, but not completely on the right rear side too. We crawled under the truck and I saw it for myself, but I'll need to crank the truck up and take the wheels off to REALLY see it well. He said it would be very difficult to repair. This breaks my heart, my horse has a broken leg. I'm not surprised, it hasn't felt very sturdy back there for quite some time, it "skitters" alot in the rear going over bumps and potholes, which there is an EXCESS of here in Houston. I'm writing in for advice. I've already realized I'll have to get rid of it eventually, but am wondering if it is worth trying to sell intact, the 292 engine is in GREAT shape. I don't have the patience or knowledge to keep it around and sell it bit by bit as parts. I'm curious if anyone out there is interested in it. thanks, Laura Nelson ------------------------------ End of pre61-list Digest V2000 #104 *********************************** ---------------------------------------------------------- Ford Truck Enthusiasts 1948-1960 Truck List Send posts to pre61-list ....To access the rest of this feature you must be a logged in Registered User Of Ford Truck Enthusiasts
