Josh,
Thanks for the pics and measurements. I think those F2 frame horns would be perfect. Dad emailed me that his were cut off 7" from the crossmember. Basically if you whacked those ones off at the crossmember that would give me plenty of material to fix dad's truck with.
Whats the story on that front bumper? is that one of the ribbed bumpers or a smooth one? Dad might be interested in it also

Bobby

 

Josh,
I really would like the F1 horns cut about 1 to 2 inches forward of the crossmember. Let me know how much and I can send a UPS pick-up or let me know how much to send them to a business.

By the way your private mail box is up to the limit to accept new mail.

 

Ok, I will get it cut off, the bumper is ribbed type but twisted pretty good and crack on drivers side top area where bolts on. may not be worth the shipping but I guess could maybe be straightened?? also I can look at the F-1 chassis that I have I think that bumper is bent up as well but maybe better??? I'll keep you posted on that.

Send me an email with your addresse since my PM box is full and I can reply some more pictures of the bumper.



Ok, will do.

Thanks

 

Josh,
I shot you an email

Let me know about price. Thanks alot for all your help on this

Bobby

 

Like I told Bill. Price is free, just cover the shipping and I'm happy.
it's Better than letting them be reincarnated as 3 hyundias the F-1 frame is bent up and cracked pretty good in the rear half. the F-2 Frame appears to be pretty decent, almost feel bad about it going to Sanshui

 

I have a 1949 F-6 that I will be parting out soon in Lincoln, Nebraska in case anyone needs anything call 402 474 2344 Doug

 

Josh,
Again, you're a good man. I emailed you with my address, etc. Let me know what shipping will be and I'll make sure to make it worth your while to ship me the frame horns.
No rush, just whenever you get around to it.

Bobby

 

Josh,

Thanks
Bobby

 

Josh,
Thanks again.
Bill

 

Shipped them out yesterday guys, Sorry took me so long.

Also I saved another set of frame horns from an F-2 truck that a friend was modifiying, same size as F-1's just thicker steel like Stu mentioned.
so If anyone needs them let me know, otherwise they will be sailing to the South Sea's eventually!

 

Thanks a bunch and I will holler when they come in.

Ditto, I appreciate all of you work on this. I'll let you know when they come in

Thanks again
Bobby

 

For anyone else needing frame horns, they are easy to make. Go to a metal shop and ask them to bend 11 gauge to your rail dimensions (cost me 20 bucks). I made them for my 54 which cant be too much different. I now just have to taper them off with an angle grinder.
