Specification query
Hi
can anyone point me in the direction how I would find the length, width, height and weight of a 1959 F100. I'm not sure if it's the 110 or 118 wheelbase, so for safety sake say it's a styleside 118. As far as I know it has not been lowered. Thanks

Here's the drawing for the '57 F-100 and F-250 with the 118" wheelbase. Should be the same as '59. Don't have a factory figure on weight, but it should be similar to other trucks of same size. Probably around 4000 pounds. Stu

Ford F-Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia indicates 4000 - 5600 lbs. I don't usually use wikipedia, but what I have found on this series of trucks has been verified elsewhere.
Sounds like someone is going to buy a new project and will be towing it home.

Don't have the same chart. No one that we've come across has the book for the 48-52 era. Do have the below charts from the Saleman's Handbook. These give good info, but not as detailed as the other. Stu

That's a great drawing. Is there a possibility you have a similar drawing for the '55 F100. Nothing in the shop manuals I have comes even close.
In particular I'm interested in the frame cross-members as regards locations and shape (section view). I'm attempting to compare the differences (if any) between the F100, the F250 and the F350 cross members used to support the rear mounts for the Y-block engines.

I had to let the air out of the tires on my 55 F-250 to get it low enough to get in the garage. I needed two or three inches.
I just have to remember that when it is finally back together....WAIT...I'm going to need to get a bigger garage when I'm done. I don't want her sitting outside when she is all pretty....dang....need to go buy lottery tickets.
We would love to see pictures.
