I weighed my 56 on a truck scale at work. 3500# total, 2200# on front, 1300# on rear wheels. Mine has an MII IFS and a 351C, so we should be pretty close.
BTW, you have an F100. The F1's were between '48 and '52.

I have mono leaf springs and traction bars on a 3.50:1 9-inch limited slip rear. https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...134719&width=2
I run P295/50R15 rear tires (12" wide), but my fenders are 2" wider than stock. The biggest tire I could fit under the stock fenders was P275/50R15.

Thanks for info Jack, let u know how i go on with 4 bar kit , ie what wheel / tyre combo fits, plenty big enough tyre 275/ 50 /15, hoping to go to 17 inchers, so will have a look what is equal to them, any pics of your truck , especially rear end , love rear ends !u drag raced truck ? your oversized rear fenders , are they glass ? do u have traction probs ? or is there lead in the bumper !
