Intro

Hi guys, I'm Grant from Winnipeg. I own a 56 f100 project, I have a 88 Lincoln Town Car donor with a 5L / AOD 61000k (a shame to strip, but oh well...) I have installed a Toyota P/S box, gm tilt column, power brake booster/master. Due to 2 boys in hockey, the 56 is on the shelf till spring. Hopefully before baseball starts I'll have the power train, disc brakes and frt end installed.

Welcome aboard Grant and I`m happy to see that you have a 56. I`ve always really liked the 53-56 F series. I have a stock 56 M100 still waiting for paint, a 56 F350 dually and a resto-rod 53 M100 project.

Nice stable of vehicles, every time I browse Kijiji or E-bay my wife gives me that "go ahead, make my day" look.

I bought the bracket and pitman arm from CPP. Other than shorting me a nut, it worked slick. I just had to do a little grinding to align one bolt hole.
