Anyone doing an authentic show F-1?

 

My truck is about as authentic as you can get, Its no where near show ready yet. but its getting there.

 

Not sure about the show part - but myresto has been true to original thus far.

 

My F-2 is not a show truck, but it is stock.

 

Do you each have the special screw used to hold down the jack behind the seat on the passengers side? Can you describe what it looks like?

 

Do a search on Julie's threads, with keyword "jack". He pontificated for about three pages about the correct wing bolt.

 

I posted a close up of one a few years ago, but I can't find it yet. I'll keep looking. Stu

Edit - go to Google Images and plug in "FTE" "jack" "truckdog62563" and "screw". It's there near the top. Stu

 

My truck has the thumb screw for the jack...but no jack. It is a standard thumb screw. I only assume it is original.

 

Here it is

PS Julie was very thorough in purging his pictures...

 

I had thought about doing my F6 to true original, but I don't have those bottom radiator bolts, lol.

I can now add that thumbscrew to my list as well.

 

Here you go. I recently acquired this.

 

I walked a yard in Iowa and pulled three. Gave a buck apiece. But haven't found the F-3 jack. Stu

 

I can confirm that Ross is showing the right bolt - I saw that thread a year ago (don't think Julie purged his pictures, I think IB did a big database upgrade or something - they hamburgered my trans swap thread and some others that used to look fine).
My truck had that exact bolt as well (no jack) - I set it aside for some purist and still have it. I've also seen 3 in the various trucks in the various junkyards I've been to - some with plates from the early 60's that look like they been parked since the 60's.

 

I'll ask this question since there are a lot less 6 cyl amongst the purists, and Julie's horn thread seemed to be way different than how I've seen em. Anybody have the original stock 6v 2 trumpet horns mounted on the head:

 

Probably not Ford since the horn relay says Delco Remy.
