I just converted my 56 to 4wheel discs. The only mistake was the
master clyinder size. I used a 1" bore size and found that I need the7/8"
bore instead. I will be changing the clyinder sometime in the next week or
so. The smaler bore size will give you more line pressure for the manual
discs. Hope this helps Garry

The "Red Book" is, to quote from Classic Motorbooks' catalog,;"Ford
Pickup Red Book by Peter C. Sessler. The handy, pocket-sized
reference guide with complete serial number listings, production
figures, specs, options, prices, parts codes, and development history
for all post-war Ford pickups, Broncos, Rancheros, vans, sedan
deliveries and more from 1946-77." The price is $10.95 and their
toll-free number is 1-800-826-6600. You might want to get a free
catalog first.

Subject: Engine Removal

Well, it looks like the the old truck's engine only had about 100 miles
left in it, as that's how far I went before the rings let go and I started
polluting the atmosphere in earnest. Thanks to thegman, however, I have
what looks to be a decent engine to replace the old one, after I tinker
with it a little. Also got a great drive through the Virginias, to boot!
Problem is, I don't think my engine hoist will lift the engine high enough
to do the job! Do I take the grille and work through the hole where the
radiator is supposed to be, or is this a job where the doghouse needs to
come off? How do you remove the doghouse? I've never done that before.
(This is a '54 with a V8, by the way.) Or should I just park it under one
of my maple trees and get out the come-along?
Don
