There never was a lock cylinder in the drivers side. All of the old > stock trucks had just one lock, on the passengers side. Not quite true. The Five Star Extra cabs in 48-52 (at least 51-52, and this question started about a 52) had driver's side locks; the 53-56 Custom Cabs had driver's side locks; and its possible there was some option which gave you driver's side locks. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 May 2000 19:02:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Scott Subject: Re: Driver's door locks --- JRFiero aol.com wrote: > Somebody wrote: > > > > Also, I have the standard cab that has no lock cylinder on the > drivers > > > door. > > > Is it possible to just drill the door and add a lock cylinder & > mechanism? > > Our 52 didn't have the divers lock but some extra doors from a deluxe cab had them. I think there was some extra metal to go with the lock, it will be a mirror of the passanger side. Scott __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Apparently the previous owner opted for a F5 rear. Question is the 2 speed setup includes (from front to rear) the control in the cab, a unit that ties to the speedometer, a vacuum valve the fire wall and the actuator at the differential. I'm missing the unit the speedo. Any help on its function, availability, location, etc., is greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Fred ------------------------------ From: "glperry" Subject: Re: 2 Speed rear-Speed valve Date: Wed, 31 May 2000 12:47:04 -0500 Function: to change speedo reading to correct for right speed indicator. Available: Don't know-maybe only in another old truck and usefulness will be questionable. It is not needed, not sure if you need to bypass to make rest work, doesnt't seem like it. There is a good wiring diagram in my 56 Shop Manual. I was gonna wire mine w/out the speedo changer. The unit on axle can be dissassembled easily and cleaned. The motor needs to be good, I used 2 to make a good unit. Instructions are also in Manual. Chevys use vaccumn and a mechanical changer at speedo. Far as I know, Fords are all electric. Hope this helps.

I might get one or both of the trucks and would be willing to sell you the parts you need. Also for everyone else, the 51 is a deluxe cab with the fresh air heater, divers side door lock, chrome trim around the windshield, good grill, good part below the grill and trim is all good too. So if anyone needs parts let me know. Scott --- glperry > >Hello All, I have a 52 Ford F4 w/ a 2 speed rear. Apparently the > previous > >owner opted for a F5 rear.

I used a Delco Alternator with a two-wire (red & white) plug. The red wire is connected to the alternator output, along with a wire to the battery. The white wire is supposed to go to a +12v source switched by the ignition switch. I read somewhere that you could connect the white wire to the + side of the coil (before the ballast resistor) to pick up this switched 12 volts. Some of you are way ahead of me, your right-the engine will not shut off with the ignition switch. If I disconnect this wire, the engine turns off OK, but the alternator probably doesn't work right. I thought about comming off of another terminal on the ignition switch to power the white alternator wire, but am not sure this would stop the feedback from the alternator. What about a diode in the white wire between the + side of the coil and the alternator to prevent backfeeding the coil ? I am sure others have encountered this problem and have some interisting fixes for it. Bob __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
