Need help
I need help! I stumbled on to this sit a few days ago while looking for some parts. What a great place to hang out.
I have a 50 f1 that I've had for over thirty years. I parked my truck in 1978 to start restoration (bad move). Took some things apart, repaired some things, but lost two very important things. TIME AND MONEY!! Long story short I'm now getting Old Red back together. I'm missing the stud and washer assembly that holds the front shock to the axle. If there is anyone out there that can help please let me know.

Welcome to FTE, 4thgenford. Glad to have you. Go to the blue bar at the top of the page and click on User CP. Create your profile and let us know where you are located. It helps if someone near you has a part you need. I don't have any extra parts at this time but may in the future. The good thing about these old Ford Trucks is they will wait for you. Hope you can get things moving. Create a gallery when you have time. We like pictures. Gil

Dido what Kusto said!
You might want to search on e-bay for a set of shock brackets and ask the seller if the lower bolts come with them. It might be a $10 investment - which is alot for a bolt, but not so much to make a truck run.
No Wait, I'm lying! I have a second axel! I have the studs on it and on the original. I'm not planning on swapping them out for a month or so ($$$$$) but when I do I will be happy to send the studs - you'll have to buy a set of castellated nuts. Send me a PM.
By the way, how did you get those suckers out?
