Del and Glenn,
Thanks guys for the information. I'm TOTALLY mechanically
challenged!! I've actually been trying to sell my old truck, but
haven't had any serious inquiries, so I just decided to keep her and see
what I could do. She's in good shape, justs need some help here and
there. Heck, I'm only 35 and I need help here and there!! Again, thanks
fellas!!

Hi ya'll,
My '57 F-250 DUALLY has a 4:56 rear axle and I'd sure like to
change the ratio to get more hiway speed. I think it can be done by
just changing the ring and pinion gear. Trouble is....it has a 12 bolt ringear
and I can't find one like it. I think it is a Rockwell rearend.
I been thinking about putting 9:00 X 16 tires on it That would help some
Anybody familiar with this rear axle? It's got a BIG U-joint One cross is big
and the other is regular size

thanks ya'll

You can go to all that trouble or just simply go to NAPA and buy an Echlin
IR9 gage cluster voltage reducer. It is the same as the one Ford uses. It is
about $18.00 and works quite well. I have one in my 52 F-1 and it works
fine.

Subject: ampere guage and gauge trim

Hi Gang. Got my guages to work finally except for the ampere gauge. The 52
has no wire connections. It has a metal ring in the back where the wire
simply passes through it. My book says it works off the magnetic field from
the wire. Any suggestions? How do you test this thing?
Also, I would like to replace the chrome trim rings around my gauges. Old
ones are rusty and pitted. Is there anyone that sells new rings?

Paul
52 F-3
