Seems some of us do have this sickness but hey, it`s all good!

 

Hey fomoco--how many do you have now? I know you have some 56s. I really enjoy these trucks,but the yblock engines are giving me fits. I am thinking of getting a 223 and see if it makes me happy--haha!!
I think ksmith must have had a long nap--but is awake now--haha
Ksmith and I will travel to get the right deal--that is for sure!!!

 

Rick--still have not heard from you about the crossmember. I will get it to you if possible--let me know.....Bill

 

You know I will go almost anywhere.

 

For 56`s I have an original and fairly presentable F350 dually flat deck, an M100/stock resto under way and 3 parts trucks. Some are in my gallery, have a peak.
Seems there are just too many ''right deals'' around and they`re not making any more of `em.

 

I would like to get a 56 F350--BUT not till I get all these trucks in some kind of order. My drive and yard is getting full. I am sure they don't make em new any more-fomoco!! Bill

 

Howdy Bill,

thanks for checking on that stuff!!

Yes I do need that one that's on the very back.

I don't know why someone might have removed it.

Would pictures help? I could take some pics of the back of the truck.

I have the bed off and am removing the cab. My next trick will be getting the frame and cab/sheet metal parts sand blasted so I can start putting everything back together......

I am anxious to drive that thing with the automatic trans and 2 speed axle!!


Thanks,



Rick

 

I will check out your pics and see if I can get it off of this 56f600 for you. Bill

 

Ok,

I haven't taken any pics yet. But I'll get to that today.

I would expect the thing to be the same but in 56 they did increase the GVW so I wonder if they changed the frame?

In my 1948-55 chassis catalog, It's called "Cross Member (frame) and it's #5035 for a "TH" (F-600) , TCAA 5035-A

Anyone out there have a 56 chassis parts catalog? I'll bet Bill (numberdummy ) has one!

 

I have a catalog and will look and see what it is. Hopefully I can get to it soon. So much going on and I have a spec of steel in my eye......ouch!!! Bill

 

Are you going to scrap that EYEBALL out?
Gotta be worth a nickle or so.

 

Here you go:

 

I should be able to cut that piece out. Will see next week after I get back. I will let you know when the crossmember is out....Bill

 

Bob,

That's a 53-56 chassis catalog?

That will make that part the same probably.

The #5035 is generic for several trucks. So I'll assume that the TCAA 5035-A part number is the same 55 & 56.

That will make all the rivet holes match up!

That will be pretty cool!!

I can just bolt the thing in place!


You guys are awesome!

 

I really like how the diagram is put on here. That is cool. The piece in blue will be coming to you.........Bill
