Put your pix on photobucket instead.

 

Snipping tool works for Supporters

 

I went thru all your pics and I must say very nice.

One pic shows a panel truck in the back ground and it looks like a FREEKING RANGER? is it?

 

Thanks.

No Ranger, those were M~H 4x4 conversions, but it was supposedly a Siebert fire ambulance from upstate NY, but the rough winters there rusted most of the bottom rear away and its too far gone to bring back. I believe Seibert did the same body modifications on the Ranger too.

At some point, the nice rounded out windows were cut out and filled with flat metal and van windows were put in. Its now sitting on top of my shed, which is a 40ft connex. It did donate doors and misc parts to the panel pictured.
I've had both for too long .... Kids. Once the F6 is complete, the panel is next.

 

I'd love to see the remnants of the Siebert. I've always liked them. They're extremely rare. Wouldn't mind owning one. I found one 51 in southern California that is restored, but missing all of the ambulance items. There was also another one, a 48-50, in southern California, I think, as well, but it was a police wagon. Both were extended with the ambulance having extra windows and a third door.




1951 Siebert in SoCal. This is my holy grail.

 

Cool window panel! How about those suicide doors!!!

Are the rear fenders stretched?

 

Hey guys; I'm almost ready to send the frame off to get blasted and coated but have a few questions regarding the rear bumper mounting. I realize this may be a very stupid question but before I do any cutting/drilling/grinding/nothing; I thought I should ask! When I purchased my truck a rear bumper which was in the bed came along with it, it's of course aftermarket and not smooth (not correct to my year per say, but that's ok with me). I'm trying to line it up and ensure the holes are correct so that I won't have to make any major changes during re-assembly; my question is, does the rear bumper bracket connect via the large center hole, and I need to drill an additional hole? Or??? Pics would be a big help also!

Thanks for any input!!!

Not level in below pic, didn't have enough hands but you get the idea...



How she sit's currently

 

Can you show some pictures of your read frame rails (The ends) from further back than the 1st and more to the right than the 2nd?
Thanks

 

That's not an aftermarket bumper. That's a 51-52 stock rear bumper. Rear bumpers supposedly did not appear in Ford's parts manual until 1951. Back in the day, any 48-50 owner had to wait until 51 to get an OE bumper from the dealer.

 

Except for the Panel Trucks, They came stock starting in 48

 

This photo help? Thanks!

 

Those three holes in a triangle with a bigger hole in the middle look just like the front end spring mount - Has the frame been patched together?
The two holes in the bumper bracker should match up to hole in the frame unless the bigger frames were different - My F2 is in the shop so I can't get a look at it right now.

 

The frame doesn't appear to be patched anywhere... and all the parts that came off were correct for the model and year (frame # matches firewall also)... I did some research (google), but could only find pictures of F1 rear frames, where yes there are clearly two holes to mount the rear bumper... I'll keep looking, grab a pic when the F2 gets back for me please!

 

If there was a pic of a 1948/50, 1951/52 (or 1953/56) rear bumper in the 1948/56 truck catalog, I'd post it...but there isn't.

ALL truck rear bumpers were optional thru at least 1979.

C6TZ-17757-F .. Painted Steel Front or Rear Bumper / C6TZ-17757-G .. Chrome Front or Rear Bumper.

 

That round tube with the loop for (I assume) towing between the frame rails doesn't look stock. The three holes Dick is referring to would be for the rear spring hanger, I'd guess. It does look like you're missing about a foot of frame??

Can you take that bumper off the frame and get a good shot of the whole rear frame, both sides, from slightly above?
