first i build a rotating jig for the Ford 9 inch third Member, than assembled the Diff with Eaton True Trac and a Richmond Ring & Pinion with 3.50 gear ratio.
Adjusting backlash and contact pattern.
OK, i decided to replace the Lincoln Versailles discbrake to drumbrake.
I figured out the original '56 F100 drumbrake will fit.
The original brake has a smaller brake offset, so i have less track width which give me more room for 285/70-15s on 10" rims.
So i went to special order 31 spline axles from Moser....
powdercoated and redrilled original drums to 5 on 4,5" bolt pattern.

Sosa, you should start your own Build Thread instead of adding things to this thread... no harm done.
Question which you can answer in the new thread: I see a gas filler behind the right door. Is your tank in the cab? 1955 trucks had the tank under the driver's side running board with the filler tube just above the rear cab corner. 1956 trucks had the fill tube behind the right door with the tank inside. Interesting.
