You'll need to double check the bolt length & shank lengths only. my lengths are overall so you'll need to consider that when purchasing, deduct 1/4" for the heads. the TQ readings are from a rare Clutch & Trans Ford Master repair manual which are std for any bolts of same diam & no it doesnt list bolts/fasteners in detail-never seen one that does. Grades are my suggestion, Ford "S" grades are not stamped on the bolts so cannot relate to modern "Graded" fasteners. Bell housing; bolt size 7/16" NC, head size 5/8"preferably, 11/16" ok, length 2", shank or shoulder length 1/2" spring washer used [lock washer] grade 6, torque 40-50 [should take 65-75 in Gr 6] Gearbox to housing: S 3/8" NC, H 9/16", L 1-1/2". SH 1/2", LW, Gr 6, TQ 40-50 Clutch pressure plate to flywheel; S 5/16" NC, H 1/2", L 1". SH 3/8", LW, Gr 6-8, TQ 18-25 the flywheel has a recess for these bolts so the shank is IMPORTANT. you could get away with the odd shankless bolt elswhere but not here. Above data suitable for cars & light F1, trucks.

Fiddely stuff, I could have done it to my Fords as I had some US LHD locks but never got around to it.

Wimmer" >Subject: heater connections (1953) TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT No it doesnt matter, you'll find most shut-off valves are situated at the top where you can get at em. Some heaters have horizontal entry/exits, gee! which one should we choose?? :). Brian ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 May 2000 15:53:32 +1000 From: brian falkner Subject: RE; 6V to 12V ------------------------------------
Paul; You need to change; Apart from all Head & tail light bulbs the starter solenoid & horn relay, the horns will work for quite a while & will scare the pants off everybody [maybe you'd like that!] a voltage step-down is needed for guages & one could be used for the horns too. Actually removing the Horn relay altogether and or adding a length of wire to increase voltage drop may do the trick. Otherwise 1956 was Fords first year for 12V so 56 on F100 bits will do. A 12V coil & resistor will also be needed. I recommend getting your starter converted to 12V, otherwise carry plenty of spare starter drive components!.

They are made to fit the '53 thru '56 F100 without modifying your truck. Soft are $169.00, hard $349.00. Other manufactures require modifying the tailgate. Their Phone No. is 800-944-9319, or try www.checkerpro.com. I have been looking at one of these for my '53, but haven't bought it yet.
