56 cab over
Ok so I need some help. I am redoing my 56 cab over dump truck. It's a c750 with the lincoln y block 302 in it. I am rebuilding the heads and need the rocker shafts as one of mine broke. Parts are exceptionally hard to find so any assistance would be appreciated.

Polevaulter, welcome to FTE the best Ford truck forum on the World wide Web!
I don't know much about Lincoln Yblocks but others who do will be along shortly. There are several guys here that have C-series trucks also.
You can try Chuck Mantigula at Chuck's Trucks. He has a lot of big truck stuff.
In the mean time, show us pictures of your truck!

That is a rare bird...1956-63 production in the big trucks. I have had rocker shafts machined to spec for me in the past, you may have better luck having a shop machine a pair for you instead of trying to locate some for sale.

Ford obviously must have put chrome bumpers on their trucks back then unless that one was chromed at a later time..

I see quite a few pop up on Ebay.
Here's a listing for a single NOS

Edit:
I re-read your post and it looks like you need the shaft not the rocker itself. Here's a complete set. Lincoln 317, 341, 368 are all common to the 302 and 332 truck engines. The big difference is in the lifters and cam drive.

I actually have no idea where they got that bumper from, it doesn't fit perfect but it's close enough for me.

That was what I was thinking, probably cheaper too.

It look a lot like a bigger truck Ford bumper but it is a little narrow, isn't it.
