Currently doesn't have a brake booster yet.i used the brake pedal out of the 67 cougar and a gas pedal setup from speedway motors.just put on new discussion brake setup on the front so should be soon to run all the lines

 

Great looking truck!

I have a spoon gas pedal and lokar cable setup from speedway with about 5k miles. I'd sell them cheap, if you might be interested?
Mine was removed from a 1951 with Ford 390 and holley.
Suspect it'd work, but maybe too late.

Fixed for you

 

There is a picture of a door less cab. Looks like a brake booster on the firewall. Ahh well.

Where did you get the steering column?

I am just starting my restomod of a 1948 Ford F-1 and looking for suggestions and what items I need to consider first before installing the column.

I really like the dark green!

 

The steering column is from a 67 cougar.just ordered my power rack and pinion so I should be able to steer very soon

 

Here's an inexpensive option for steering column. I cut my old one down and added a ujoint making a shorty column. It now is on angle like a new car. Basically, I fit the truck and controls to me with the bench seat, pedals, etc. I did have a friend machine a plastic bushing to support the end of the shaft where the ujoint is welded on. The bushing is a press fit with a flange to stop it from slipping inside the column. This could be home made, though I was lucky to enlist the help of a friend.

The first steering column mount (closest to the steering wheel) is just an aluminum clamp like you might use to clamp a fire extinguisher to a roll bar, I machined the angle on it with a large belt sander - it bolts to the bottom of the dash in the stock location. I added the strut to support the end by bolting it to the firewall. A bracket on the strut is a platform for a relay panel up under the dash.

I also added several Heim-joint supports to the frame to support the steering shaft. In the event of a front end accident, the steering column will fold at one of the ujoints, too, so the column doesn't pierce my chest (at least in a slower speed collision). High speed, all bets are off.

I needed to add a double ujoint to the steering column to clear the exhaust on the new engine. Still, it works great - I've 2k miles on it, now since the swap / remodel.

Hope this helps someone!

Thanks everyone. The front end is one piece fiberglass with a tilt setup from a freightliner
