Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum.
I have a Ford F1 year 1949 and I need to replace some parts that I can't find. Can anyone please give me a help? I'm looking for:
-horn button
-oil sensor
-front brake drum
Hello again! I'm looking for another part for my Ford F1 now. I need the SPEEDOMETER; I found something but the price is too high, does anyone know where to find one not so expensive?
Thank you!

You may also find someone on here who has modified their truck dash and thus has the original hanging around.
Additionally, you may want to give Green Sales a call with your query:

Everywhere I've looked for an actual horn button among the restoration/repro places comes up 'out of stock'. Anyone know of a place where one is actually available?, repro or otherwise, at a realistic price, for a 48 F1. I haven't even been able to find one for an unrealistic price.
Just checked Ebay; wouldn't you know it, there's an NOS listed for $40, ouch! Is that realistic? How about other years that would fit, or would a Ford car button of the period work.

48-52 truck is all that interchanges. If a repro that's unavailable would go for $25, is it worth a little bit more to have an original in your hands right away? I've never seen a good used button. The tabs on the backside are always broken off from ham-handed guys trying to pry it apart.
Hey Ermes,
Welcome Aboard! I think you may be the first person
from Italy to post on our section of the old Ford truck enthusiast.
Post a pic of your truck when you get a chance. Let's see what you are working with.
I do believe that I have a never mounted reproduction horn button that I bought years ago. PM me if interested. I can't look now we are "enjoying" a blizzard.
I might be run out of town ,but when I saw the price for front drums for my 52 F1 (98.00 ea) I did come size comparing and I bought rear drums for a 1979 F100 for about 39.00 each and that is what is on the front of my 51 F1. They have the correct offset , just wider where the shoes touch. I'm running the oem size shoes and have had no issues at all. Maybe later, when I wear out the front shoes . I'll change to wider shoes and hardware for them. Bought mine from pts geek.
