53 frame diagram

Could anyone post a view or diagram of the 53 f100 frame which contains the dimensions, ie wheelbase, widths, heights, locations of mounts etc. I have one for the 53 cars and wagons but not the f100. Please help me out if you can.

No way John! You suppose somebody from USS was hangin' out on FTE during business hours? People like that ruin it for the rest of us shammers.

close but no cigar

md

what I have is the specifications for the truck in general... wheel base, bed length, track... etc

nothing specific on frame... but I can make any measurements you might need (from my modified frame)

George might have more detail on the stocker...

email me off line and I''ll forward you the scanned pages of what I have..

john

Still not enough posts to email you so I'll try the equivalent of Ford pig latin. If you could send the scan to me at

smithyjc(@)charter(dot)net

Of course leave the paranthesis off and change the word dot to a period.

Thanks Major

He did but it was a 48 F-1 diagram. I wouldn't be surprised if Barry or George have the info for the 53-56.

I have the same diagram as Penn Dick except its for the 56 models. I think this will work for the 53-55 models

Fenders,

If I email it to you will you post it? I still don't know how to do this computer stuff. I still have your email address so I will get this out to you later today.

Kevin Bigwin

PS I have this info for every model of 56 ford trucks. do you want more than the f100? This is where I found the frame height measurements for the earlier post.
