Sounds like you may know something about Big Bob's F100 IFS kit. Have a 1955 Ford F100. I do not weld, so ordered kit. Cannot get resolution on rotor as first they did not send rotor, then had to reorder and pay for rotor - as wanted to make sure to get correct rotor for kit. Incorrect rotor came and still no resolution. So can you tell me what rotor works with the GM 371876RH - 15 spindle? They sent me an adapter/spacer that seems to convert from 5 x 4 1/2" with 1/2" studs to a Ford 5 x 5 1/2". Auto supplier here states there are no Nova spindles with that 5 x 4 1/2" pattern and 1/2" studs. So is my adapter/spacer incorrect also? Any help is appreciated as I also live in NM - Farmington and just want to get this rig up on wheels.

Can you please email me the headliner pdf file you have? I have a 51 f1 and I'm going to tackle it over the holiday. Thanks and talk to you soon.

This is granpas 51 f1. I see you have the original 3 speed tranny. I am not a purist restorer but have some questions regarding the old 3 tree. I'm debating between keeping the 3 spd or converting to t-5. I still have the flathead 8 as well. Do you drive on highways? If so how many rpm's are you pulling? What are pros and cons you have with keeping the original?
Thanks,

Josh

Hello-

I got your user ID from another member here. I live in Bosque Farms, but I haven't lived in New Mexico that long & wondered if you could give me a reference for a good upholstery/vinyl cleaner near by. I have a '60 F-100 that, after removing all the old seat covers, I found has an OK shape original seat & upholstery. Problem is, it's real dirty & the foam pad underneath the re-cover nearly glued itself to the upholstery. See my post here looking for help: http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1164036-help-cleaning-my-original-seat.html. I'd be willing to try a good detail shop or even pay a little extra for an upholstery shop to clean it if need-be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much!

Ross,
I've been reviewing the website and various forums and I just read the newbies article you wrote. Nice job. Very well written and a lot of practical information. I just bought a very solid '51 F3 3/4 ton with 4spd spur transmission and I want to convert to a 4 spd synchro and possibly change the rear-end so I can enjoy a broader spectrum of driving. Can you recommend for me what transmission I should be looking for and also what rear-end taking into account I am willing to upgrade the brakes to discs? Thank you. Stl-Joe.
