I'm trying to find some blueprints or line drawings of a '56. I'm just looking for it to be very straight forward, not at any angle or anything. I'm just looking to print out something simple so I can better map out ideas and sketch, before I go through the work of having to make originals, and then copy them and print, I was curious if anyone had any and thought it could be a helpful topic.


I'll post what I have, pretty much everything is from here;





What I'd really like is something like this of a '56, with front and top view as well.













Anyone have anything specifically '56? Like the ones on Mid-Fifty's catalog? They don't need any measurements, though I'm sure those could always come in handy. Feel free to post anything else, I think they could come in very handy for anyone trying to figure it all out. I think side views are easier, at an angle just makes a lot of physics to do when you want to adjust something.

 

Most of the drawings you posted are from a Truck (Salesmans) Handbook. I don't know who might have a 56 version - they are VERY expensive.

Ford had the tendancy to use the same line art drawings from manual to manual. So if you find one somewhere it will probably be the same as those in the other manuals.

I might send out a PM to Bill Walford or one of the other 56 guys and see if anyone has one. Someone here must!

 

lol yeah I figured someone must, thanks for letting me know where those are from.

I figure it would be handy for people to have, I use them quite a bit, but the only year I've ever seen is the '53-55, I'm sure the 48-52 owners could use a set too, for that matter 57-60s, lol.

I've just found with things like trying to make a bed, specs like this are solid gold yet I've never seen any collection of them.

 

I have one but on winter spring break....Bill

 

go to Earl's world. George has it on his website for his '56.
