My mounts are similar to yours, but I have to fabricate for 4 mounting points. Looks like you are using a car wiring harness. What did it come out of?

Date: Fri, 7 Apr 2000 20:04:58 -0700 Would someone please help me with a dimension I need for a design project I'm working on. I need the center-to-center distance between the park lights on a '53-'56 F-100? When I asked last week for the similar dimensions on '51-'52 F-1 and '53-'56 F-100 the F-1 guys came through in a flash. Thanks--your response is much appreciated. I know it doesn't sound terribly important, but it could save me a two-hour trip down off the mountain and back, and enable me to have my 'ducks in a row' when I present my story. If there's an F-100 person out there who can help I'll be grateful. Thanks Mike ------------------------------ From: "Terry" Subject: Re: (No subject)Date: Fri, 7 Apr 2000 23:56:01 -0500 .

You will get flat spots that are hard to run out on bias tires. They are terrible compared to radials. It can also cause the plies to seperate. If I spent money to have vintage style tires, they would be off the floor if I wasnt driving them over any length of time. I have seen plenty of tires round back out fine, but equal numbers have been chunked in the trash. ------------------------------ From: "Terry" Subject: Re: Flooring Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 00:04:37 -0500 I'm at that point w/ my 52 F4 that I am considering floor carpets. The truck will be a daily driver and I'm not looking for anything fancy. Go to a larger swap meet. There are usually guys selling rolls of auto style carpet fpr aout $20. You may also find the foil backed floor insulation for about the same price. This stuff works great at deflecting heat away from it. ------------------------------ From: Rwilson50 aol.comDate: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 07:34:04 EDT Subject: Re: 50 F-3 seatbelts jeff h. was looking for 3 point belts for his f-3 look on page 101 of the april Custom/Classic trucks mag $57 for 3 point and $16 for lap belts,not a bad price. they are called G.E.M. street rod products 1-800-588-BELT located in calif. As far as mounting the shoulder portion I always thought the curved reinforcment that wraps around the rear of the cab was a perfect place to tack on a good safe belt mount. hope this helps a bit. russ wilson 49 f-1 (2 days of snow-opening day is tues!) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 08 Apr 2000 11:00:43 -0400 From: Gary Vandergrift Subject: (no subject) Phrom: "Paul Clegg" Subject: Re: Tire Flat Spots Date: Fri, 7 Apr 2000 10:52:13 -0600 I had a set of tires once that got flat spots on them if they sat too long. They bumped for a while when you started driving, but it went away after time. You could also kneed them if you were a devoded owner (if you really loved your truck). -- Gary Vandergrift GV in CT 1937 Ford Pickup Truck - '52 V8 power ------------------------------ From: Meats56 aol.comDate: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 14:30:01 EDT Subject: Por-15 question. I am getting into the body portion of my 56 street rod. Has anyone used the Por-15? If so how does it compare to the DP48 epoxy primer. I plan on using it (if I get some good feedback) on the underneath of my fenders and on the inner part of my doors. Do you brush or spray? If sprayed does it need to be reduced? Does it act as a primer or can you prime over it with a scratch filler like PPG K-36? All my body (truck) LOL parts have been dipped and are bare metal. Is it necessary to buy all the extra's or can I just use the black Por-15? Thanks for any info, Meat....( Bill Ireland) ------------------------------ From: TNickolson aol.comDate: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 20:06:29 EDT Subject: Re: Chopped top Very nice, are you a body shop? Are you cutting from a templet? Two years ago at Pigeon Forge their was a 52 F 1 with a chopped top and channeled hood with the fenders raised and I personally thought it was the best at the show. Are you moving in that direction? Tom Nickolson The General ------------------------------ From: TNickolson aol.comDate: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 20:11:17 EDT Subject: Re: Want tailgate "FORD" stickers or decals Check with a vinyl sign shop that can scan what ever you want and shrink or expand it to what ever size you want. That is easier than trying to find something that you like from one of the after market suppliers.

I made a paper templet four inches wide and used it to mark all the cut lines. I think I've seen the truck your talking about I say in light blue paint them It was panted a light tan color. The chopped top going to be my only big modification. Well, that and the fact that I added a Mustang II front end and I c-channeled the rear frame so the axle flip would work.

Thanks Russ, I'll look that up. I have the Oct 99 CCT where they have an article on installing 3-pt Juliano's belts into a '50 *ahem* non-Ford... :) The upper (shoulder) piece uses an elongated anchor behind whatever metal piece you're bolting it to, to screw the bolt into. I'm can't remember if the reinforcement you're talking about has room between it and the cab or not (yeah, I'm too lazy to just go over to the shop and look at the darn thing), was interested if anyone else has done this and what mounting point they used. =====jeffh icon-stl.net=====http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.icon-stl.net/~jeffh======Another fine message brought to you by the Screaming Penguins: Unnoficial site of the "John Madden for President" campaign! ------------------------------ End of pre61-list Digest V2000 #48 ********************************** ---------------------------------------------------------- Ford Truck Enthusiasts 1948-1960 Truck List Send posts to pre61-list ford-trucks.comIf you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, send an email to: listar ford-trucks.comwith the words "unsubscribe pre61-list" in the subject of the message.
