That's a nice catch you have there!

 

Welcome to FTE!

Very nice find! And another F4 in the forum.

 

Brock,

Welcome to the forum! Looks like you have a great truck there. They are loads of fun.

Wow very nice. Get some pics of the F5 sure wish it wasnt in Canada...

 

 

Truck made it home safe and sound (not that it had to travel very far) drove it on the trailer and back off in to my yard. The 6 sure runs smooth. Now to get some wiring sorted under the dash and hood to tidy it up and figure out what to do for wheels... contemplating building some thick billet adapters to go from the 5 bolt to 10 bolt.....

 

Does that say Balfour, ND on the door?

 

Hi, Sure does. Apparently from the Scheile's family grain farm. Truck was always barn stored. Its super tidy.

 

Whereabouts are you? If you aren't sold on keeping the 18" wheel size, Johnson's Wrecking in Mandan has a plethora of 20" 5 lug lock ring wheels. Just saw some today that appeared to have nearly new tires on them.
Nice find. It sure does look straight. Most of those old farm trucks were well-kept. Wasn't 'til they were out of use or changed hands that the abuse started.

 

i'm in B.C. Canada. The F5 that this guy had had the 20's on it...it got sold to be parted out at a body shop doing a resto on another one. Going to see if I can track the wheels on that one down... I have a full fab shop and mill and lathe...my buddy has the tooling for making the adapters...22.5's would be nice, in black.
upgrade list is as follows: (correct anything that may be haywire)
-wheels and tires
-mastercylinder (have new one)
- wiring to be sorted and tidied up
- strip paint off deck and recoat/finish
-tune up/fluid change all around
- oil pan gasket (have new one)
-exhaust (possible 6 into 2 header i will fab up in stainless)
-carb clean/mod
- float bowl leak (have new glass bowl)
-shop name on plate on stake sides
-drive and enjoy

 

You must have a 1904 Holley, if it has a glass bowl. Might have to fasten some flat plates in a vice, carefully apply heat, and straighten the mounting face on the carb. Do get some natural cork (Hobby Lobby) for your gasket to see if that will fix it before playing with fire!

 

my mistake.. I meant the fuel pump bowl..its glass. carb is all metal.

 

Even so, natural cork would be the way to go!
