Duh! Must be the cataracts. I just now noticed that section in your other post.
So it looks like I will only need to fabricate the bolts. Thanks heaps Bill. I know where Matlock Ford is, the dealer is only about 25 minutes north of me on I-65. Will give them a ring tomorrow to double check their inventory. Could pick them up as early as Friday of next week.
Thanks for the dimensions Stu, but there appears to be several of the nuts still floating around. Will keep the data though. When the other nut sources become depleted, I or someone else could just use the photos and measurements to crank out a replacement.
Good morning, or after noon depending on where you are, on the pics i am glad even though it was getting dark they still came out o.k. i cleaned off the pallett and put 8 on it, i should of grouped them but i didnt, from the left the #1 budd wheel carrier for the F4 to F6 that ones not for sale, i really need to keep that one for my F5, # 2,3,4,& 6 are the same, # 5 & 7 are for the F1, and # 8 i am not sure what its for maybe mid late 50's ? i can measure the 2,3,4,6, group if you want me to, those seem to have the part #'s stamped in lines & one is stamped in a circle. I might have the hangers if i look around, somewhere i have a box of those things but not sure if there will be some for the F2 F3 size. but we might get lucky on the nuts. edit- did you notice that 2 & 3 are different than 4 & 6, only that these have 2 square holes on each side of the center hub, i know that dosent matter just kinda makes you wonder why they did that

Reason: add something
Good whatever there mrcman! Look around and see what you have. Since the parts book photo doesn't show the square holes, I would prefer either 2 or 3. Go ahead and verify the length with what Stu posted to make sure they are correct. I have little doubt that they are.
As far as part numbers go, that is rather up in the air, as Bill said. The 7RD numbered one is definitely a 1949 F-2/3 part prefix.
Bill i really miss preston at times, he was like you with part numbers in a lot of ways, when i had a question on a part he always had the right answer, his sons are still selling nos parts that pres had boxed and inventoried before he passed away, i havent seen them in a long time,
Well J.D. i went out and did some investigations on the spare tire holders.
the ones that had the square holes to each side of the center! those had the 1953 part number, but we know the part is the same, didnt find the nuts that hold it on, took another photo of them, cleaned one of the older ones up a bit
will PM you in a bit.
It seem s a lot of my parts are coming from out west. Josh Madsen sold me three 16" rims a couple years ago, and they were flat fantastic. Got them sand blasted, just need to clean a little surface rust off and paint them up. Got a couple exhaust manifolds, and a generator from the western regions too. All were in great shape.
Working with Cougar58 (I think) on a used radiator splash pan. This is the pan that goes from the radiator to the lower valance panel, and has the elongated hole for the crank. The one I need is specific to the V8. Looked for some time, but Cougar scored a clean F-3 from Montana, and is parting her out.
Can't beat that dry, warm climate. At least the drier part.
