I was just wondering . How many are working on F-4,or larger trucks.
I have two of them {48 F-4s}. One I will rebild for general cargo use. And the orther I want to add a fifth wheel to haul around my three Fordson "F" tractorsto shows. 1919,1922,1924.

Ford in eveything you do.

 

Got a '55 F-600 with a hydrolic flat bed. Runs like a sewing machine, looks like the grapes of wrath. Got Sheet Metal?

 

I Have a 48 F-5 With Mason Dump.
Currently stripped to the frame. The Frame liners are bad, I'm replacing them.
Got $700 in the front end, A T-98 syncroed 4 speed (with PTO) tranny from Chucks Trucks, got rid of the chash box tranny. Just had my 5-bolt SOLID rims power coated, not more Split rims!!!!!!!!!!
New 9R22.5 tires.

 

Reamer I sent you a PM about your T98 and PTO. I might be selling mine and would like to get and idea of a good selling price.

 

48 F-6 coe and I just drive it out a 7 foot door ,with 1/8 inch .I think it has to go lower.

 

Tomato, I think you should make your garage door taller. you never know what else you my want to bring oin out of the rain.

What size tires/ wheels you useing.? I have 750x18 on one truck and 900x20 tires/wheels on the orther.
48 Ford F-4

 

I have a '51 F6 currently for sale. Chasis, transmission, cab, brand new front end.

 

I just have some use tires for now ,the front are 205 ,60 15 inch, the back are 235 , 75 ,15 . The spring have to set and I have no bed on ,so its going to go down so more . the frame rail is at 9 1/2 inchs now plues the fender and hood was not on .. I have some picture but can post ..

 

tomoto, post some pictures when you can I would like to see them.

 

Another 55 F-600?


I thought I was the only one!! Man these things are scarce!

Check out my gallery. I have a few pictures in there.

I have 9.00-20 radials on it and 3 piece rims Goodyear recaps on the back and TOYO radials on the front.. I had a really hard time finding wheels so I had to buy rebuilt wheels fro Les Schwab. Had them powder coated.

I also had to replace the whole brake system. What a job! I also rebuilt the whole front end.

Now I'm grounded by the front crank pulley (54-55 239 V-8) . I can't find one!!(mine is broken)

I'll need a crank pulley with 1 narrow and 1 wide groove and a wide groove fan pulley...Anybody got this stuff in the junk box looking for a home?

Rick

 

I have a 1949 F-5 with Marmon-Herrington All Wheel Drive conversion, in pretty good original condition (was always garaged). Has a flathead V-8 with original non-synchro four speed and two speed transfer case.
Also have a completely restored 1959 F-600 short wheelbase rack body truck. Has a completely rebuilt 292 V-8 with five speed Clark transmission and two speed Eaton rear axle.
