Subject: Re: Fender repair patch panels There are several Ford Truck catalog stores that sell rear fender patches. I don't have my catalogs here in front of me but check Mid-fifty Truck parts online at: http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.midfifty.com/ They have them for $25 each.

Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2001 05:28:07 EST Subject: Front Rims Shawn. I have a '56 F100 with the Volare suspension. When I first did the job, I found a pair of 14X8 slot mags. I went with the slots because I wanted to match what was on the rear. They worked ok, but there wasn't much clearance between the wheel and the brake caliper. I had to do a little grinding on the caliper to keep the wheels from hitting. I hunted for a long time at all the swap meets, etc. trying to find a pair of 15X8's but could never come up with any. I finally found a pair of 15X7's that were in good shape and put those on. No more clearance problems, and I feel that the brakes get better air circulation also. I run 60 series tires all around and the truck handles great. You'll love it. ------------------------------ End of pre61-list Digest V2001 #18 ********************************** ---------------------------------------------------------- <><><><><><> Serious Help Finding That Part! <><><><><><> Ford Truck Enthusiasts now has "Ford Products Interchange" manuals in its online store.
