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

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..

Subject: 60 panel truck

Hello again guys,
Well I have been working feverishly for about 2 weeks now and the panel
body('60) is back on the truck frame like it was meant to be. 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....
