After some time I finally got it running and stopping.Thanks to everyone on this site for all the helpful info.

 

Looks like a nice straight truck.

 

Thats a nice truck but it's not a 1960 or someone put an earlier front end on it.

 

well that is interesting now I am Not sure what year it is it does not appear that anything has been changed on the front end looks like I may have to do some more research

 

59 hood and 58 grill. Looks like a nice starter. If you decide to put the correct grill on it, I might be interested in that one after a little closer inspection.

 

so how do I find out what year the rest of the truck is thought I had a 60

 

Here is a hint, it is either a 58 or 59. Could be a 60 with different front end parts. Get us the info from the plate on the inside of the glove box door.

 

Welcome to the orphanage. Yes, good looking truck. Looks like 59 hood, 58 grille, and the front fenders are either 59 or 60.

Whoa guess I'm a little slow. Check the data plate on the glove box for build info, hope it matches the frame #'s. What ever it is I like the stance.

 

I would almost bet it's a 59 but maybe a 60. Check the data plate in the glove box for the VIN. The 5th digit should be a 9 (but could be a 7,8, or 0) corresponding to the last digit of the model year.

 

I looked in the glove box and the fifth digit is a zero

 

So both the hood and grill have been replaced. I'm partial to a '58 because I own one. But I've always liked the '59 grill as well as any. The '60 being the newest of the four should have most of the improvements. Looks like you have a lot of options, but I like the way it looks.

 

Thats what I'm thinking I love the way it currently looks doesn't really matter what year it is but it is good to know.I am learning a lot about these trucks just by owning this one





The tag says it all

 

Nice looking truck, I like the bunp side in the back ground with the matching paint job.

By the way, whatever year parts you have they are all Fridge parts!

 

as I was working on my truck today I noticed that I have a broken right front leaf spring where can I get one thanks everyone.

 

Best to replace, in pairs of course. Front and rear for that matter. Might try a big truck shop local to you, they can make them up cheaper than anywhere else.

Eaton Spring is one company that iirc supplied Ford going back a long ways.
