Welcome to FTE, the best Ford truck forum on the World Wide Web. Congrats on the truck and thanks for the pics.
We are glad another 53-56 truck has been saved. Just a trivial note here. An F700 was not considered a medium duty truck by Ford back in the day. They were considered Heavy Duty. Your hood side emblems say 'Big Job' don'they?
Please keep us posted of your progress with lots of pictures.

Welcome to FTE Mark. Good to see another person from MN taking on a great project. Making sure your truck will stop is a good idea. I have used two different routes on finding various parts. You can go online, send for catalogs (Dennis Carpenter, Mid-fifties, & others), or my preferred method is to go to stores/shops & salvage yards. You may be surprised what you can find at a NAPA store. If you come down to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area you can check out Brake & Equipment warehouse in Minneapolis and Little Dearborn, close to the TCF stadium (or their web sites). There are a couple of salvage yards that I have founds parts in too. Good luck.

is a three bolt mount the other is two bolts that go throught the master body. I thought it was cheap enough at $124 bucks. You need to know piston bore ,mine was ordered for a 1953 F900 (its not for a truck but a 2yd loader) Wagnor Lockhead sam
