I also put 3/4" foam sheet above it for sound deadening and insulation. I called their tech service on another matter (screws) and they told me that they did NOT recommend wetting the backs of headliner pieces - didn't know where that idea ever got started and thought it was completely unnecessary.

MullinsSteeringGears.com for a New Saginaw box and totalcostinvolved.com for a new Vega box. FlaminRiver has gears too but not for my year. For a 50 you have more choices. Mullins recommends a Panhard Rod Kit (for bump steer I guess). -- Gary Vandergrift GV in CT ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 09:27:39 -0400 From: Gary Vandergrift Subject: 56 pickup for sale in Hartford paper. 3 speed, good bed, turns over, restoration or parts, BO 860.668.6620 lv msg. -- Gary Vandergrift GV in CT '37 pickemup ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 12:18:02 -0400 From: Abe Stauffer Subject: Headliners Headliner guys: I bought my headliner at Carlisle 2 summers ago. I am ready to put it in as soon as I stop the leaks around the rear window. I have gotten out of the box occaisionally to make sure the mice did not get into it and to visualize me putting it in. thanks for the tips. I will be sure to get a helper with patience (not wife). My question is this: Does your headliner have a perforated punchout for the dome light? Mine does not. These repro headliners are the ones that the standard cabs had as the deluxe cabs (in 53 and 54)had a perforated headliner and they don't reproduce these. Has any one cut out a hole for the dome light? Is this done after it is in place or before? As always, Abe head-(liner)-less ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 15:54:09 -0400 From: Fred Hooper Subject: Re: Headliners Abe, Mine did not. I did it after the install. That was the easy part. You only need to remove enough to let the lens snap in. I unscrewed the toggle switch and just pushed it into the hole enough to clear the liner, then fished it out again after I made the hole. Use an x-acto knife if you can get one, a pointed razor type blade used in hobby stuff and art supply stores. Good luck.

There is no engine, it used to have the flathead in it. I was just wondering if there was enough interest for parts to make this worth while. The truck is in Alberta. Scott ===================== Hello Scott. I would be interested in a set of 16" wheels, the front splash pan (behind the front bumper and below the grill), a steering wheel in good condition, jack and tools, plus headlight assembly with rims, and taillights. Oh, door handles and hardware too if they're in good shape. Probably some other stuff too. Right sun visor? I'm in Virginia...

HELP! My 57 that I am trying to mount the 90 Lincoln steering column into has the master on the firewall. How do you pre57ers like the underneath set up? I might revert to that and clean up my firewall. Has anyone with a firewall mount moved theirs under the cab? The problem is if I put the brake pedal where it will miss the steering shaft, an EFI sensor of some kind will interfere with the power booster. If I move it to miss the EFI, then it will either be in the way of the steering shaft or too far to the left. In your humble opinion, how far is too far left? I am making some angle iron brackets to mount the Lincoln column. Mine must come all the way from the firewall to the bottom edge of the dash. This will give me something to mount the steering column (remember the "H" that the Lincoln has) and stiffen up a weak firewall.

Not interested in the "newer" plastic ones usually found at swap meets. If you have an origianal and are willing to part with it....I will pay your price for one that is complete and in concour condition. FYI: this is going on a stock 56 w/35K miles....needless to say steering is greatly improved with the knob. Thanks very much. bill ------------------------------ From: "Mangor Krogstad" Subject: Re: More steering/brake problems Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 03:56:23 -0500 Iam putting a Toyota steering box in my 57F-100and yesterday I was just seeing how things were fitting together.I found that the 57draglink will fit in the toyato pitman arm,the 57 draglink tierod likeends and not the ball&socket like the 56.The Toyato pitman arm is1.5in shorter then the Ford arm.my question is how will the shorter arm affect the steering? > > ------------------------------ End of pre61-list Digest V2000 #64 ********************************** ---------------------------------------------------------- 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
