I agree should be left alone and driven.

 

Thanks, now I can go about my day with ease.

 

I thought 1996 was the last year for 5 on 5.5? Did you have the 2010 rear end re-drilled?

 

Anyone Know where I might find a badge for 39 one ton truck hood spear it is the 85 or 95 badge above grill.

 

I will look. I have a '38 hood and just maybe some hood sides in my attic. '38 and '39 badges the same?

 

38 and 39 hood side badges are the same. All truck sizes used the same side panels, except the cab overs.

Curious why you are looking for one, are you making a belt buckle?

 

LOL! Never thought of that one. Didn't think to look and there's no lights in that attic.

 

95 went on hood release handle on a 1940 one ton or ton 1/2 I am trying to find one for my 40 they also came with 85 on badge. These are about size of a quarter. i am looking for a real one if anyone has one.

Thanks

 

I have a 1947 mercury 1 ton. Similar to ford different crank. It has 17 inch wheels with 8 ply tires. Truck made in Canada

 

Are you able to post a picture or two? We'd love to see it. Welcome to FTE !

 

working on getting picture up .still working on truck which I found in shed in Winnipeg Manitoba . It had sat in shed for 35 yrs . No rust other than small bit at cab lower corners. Chrome great. Everything works. Air still in tires.

 

Does it turn over? Some of my most memorable moments (in the automotive world) have been dragging a truck out of a shed and getting it running. Make sure you get lots of pictures and a video of it before you do much fixin'. And my friends here know I'm a huge fan of the tonners!

 

engine had stuck ring now free, took heads/intake off inside no gonk or rust. Working on horn relay while I can get at it before I put heads [aluminum] back on. I have trouble with computers, got pic into computer but can not get it over to this site. I live in Nova Scotia Canada.Reinstalled original starter after having it checked @ local repair shop. System is 6 volt positive. Going to keep truck in original condition .Key still works and had blanks made in small shop in Calais Maine. chrome all good but red mercury detail lettering will have to be redone. Original sliding window still good as this was option in 1947 . Took wheel and tire off and the nuts under original hub caps came right off with little fluid film , they had no rust on them. Redoing brake hoses but brake lines are shing when I remove old oil etc from them. I will keep you posted Thanks Al Halliday

Nice truck. Here's the pic from your profile page.



Also in your postings on the profile page you asked about a line drawing of the tonner stake bed. Here's the tonner drawing from the 1946 Ford Dealer Handbook. Stu
