Hey bob did i send you a gauge some time back ? I was thinking it was you anyway.

 

Fred,no you did not,sorry

 

I should have a few front 51/52 front bumpers, of which one is (older) chrome. Anyone that is interested, please PM or email me.

I also have one rear 51/52 rear bumper, but already have a few buyers lined up.

Correct 51/52 rear bumpers are hard to come by. If you find one, buy it.

 

any rear bumper and fan shrouds out there for 51 f1s

 

I have two rear bumpers but not fan shrouds. Email me at modelking2000 at hotmail dot com.

 

Just had a'51/'52 rear bumper plated .Cost was $416.00 The plate shop is now charging 40% of total cost for haz . mat. disposal fees.
Also had another rear bumper straightened for the stock truck that was painted . Cost to straighten was $100.00 .They did an excellant job on plating & straightening .I was pleased . I don't mind paying for quality work .

A long time aquantence that works for a major body shop chain that rhymes with Draco was going to fine tune the lower ext. panels and front gravel pan for the stock truck . I did the major body work (media blasting , double wall repair , epoxy primer ) but he is excellant at fine tuning body panels .Gave him the panels a yr. ago.Last April 15 I stopped by and seen what had been done . NOTHING .He said I will get it done . Stopped by Oct 15 and picked them up as they were when I dropped them off . One ext. panel & the gravel pan has some surface rust issues starting in a few small areas .So evidently they were exposed to some moisture at some time . Re media blasted the areas & epoxy primered . I was very disappointed in him .

 

John Griffen in Idaho has 3 rear bumpers . Send me a PM if interested .

 

do you have photos

 

can a floor shift be converted back to acolumn shift

 

Yes, will email to you.

Yes. Change the transmission out to side shift linkage (light duty 3 spd) and change the column tube that has the shifting linkage attached to mate with the transmission.




I have the 3 spd transmission and the column tube with the linkage if you decide to go that route.
