Does anyone know what the barn door restraints on the 50 F1 panel look like? Those will be the hardware that keeps the doors from opening and hitting the side of the truck I guess. On my F1 panel the PO used velcro straps to hold the doors open part way. It sort of works but I would like to get (or make) hardware restraints that look more normal.

I hhave been all over the internet on google and can't find a picture to show this.

These were on my 56 panel, not sure if they are different to the ones used on the F-1's.

 

48-56 is the same

 

I'll never use the ones I have.

 

Do you still have these and are you interested in parting with them?
I have been looking for years for these and just found this site

 

Yes I do and yes I am.

56panel
really like your panel. I am planning on painting my grill and yours confirmed that thought. Are your parking light frames chromed or painted, that was an undecided part on mine

 

The parking light frames are the original chromed ones I had, a bit tarnished. I had bought new ones that were supposed to be for the 56 but were for a 55 that you were supposed to try and make fit and they don't.

 

Thats funny I have a 55 set they sold me as 55, with 56 frames, new polished stainless. I had to find a set of frames out in my parts bin. Send me your address and I will send them to ya.

 

I would gladly swap the pair I have for yours if you are sure they are for a 56. I'll take some side by side pictures to show the difference between the 2 and post it here.

The rubber bumpers that go on the door stops were sent to Chuck Frank ( AXracer) he used the ones I sent him to make a mold and said he would reproduce them, there were a few on here the were also interested.

 

The edge that goes against the air deflector on the 56 is 1 1/2 inches approx and the 55 is 2 1/2. It took me a few installs to figure that out than Mid-Fifties catalog verified.
I have already boxed these and sent them to ya, the box should arrive in 5-10 business days they said. The box also contains the other item you are awaiting for. Tracking info should be to ya as soon as it ships out

 

Is axracer on this forum and how would I be able to contact him?
