'51 F-6 parts
#17
Well I found a new drag link that was suppose to be the right one, the ends were correct but it was a bit too long, so I sawed it off and put a sleeve over it and welded it back up so that issue is solved. I do need a couple more items though, one is the signal stat 700, I have one I can fix, but the tin name plate is pretty ratty and I'm not thinking I could fix that. So I need another switch, or a good looking name plate and I'll pretty mine up. the other thing is I have a 2 speed tranny on the speedo cable to sink the speedo with the 2 speed rear, and I got it working smoothly but the vacuum actuator diaphram is NG. Any idea if anyone has either the complete unit or a diaphram?

The Signal Stat 700's are quite abundant.

And as for the speedometer shift valve, I would just cut to the chase and make one out of a heavy nitrile glove. But if you're an absolute purist, call Chuck's Trucks yesterday to start your search.

I found quite a few of the 700's, I'm just holding off for a really nice looking one. As for the drag link, it's not my first rodeo, it is stronger than one with the adjustable sleeve, so I'm not worried. I turned the 2 ends on my lathe and bored a sleeve to match, and I never trusted my own welding so I dropped it at my local welder, Kent.
