Looking for Hood Emblems and hubcaps for a 1957 F-100.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Still check ebay, lots of truck stuff comes up there...might find what you need. Also, try posting this question in the forum located right above this one, the 48-60 Fourm...there are quite a few '57-'60 owners, somebody there might have the parts needed. Try Bob's F100 parts...he has tons of trucks and parts for F series trucks. His website is http://www.bobsf100.com

thanks so much. I will check.

 

I will state this!
Bob is a rather nice guy, he has a Great deal of parts & he works w/ you no matter what, but he is a '56 Ford on back Truck Modifier & Not a Truck Restorer.

He knows Very little about '57-'60 Ford/Merc trucks, specifically 223 c.i. I-6's & Ford/Merc-o-Matic trannies.

The replacement, supposedly "Built" '56 223 c.i. I-6 engine he put in for me goes through 2 1/2 qts. of oil a week, the crank case is over pressurizing & it lacks power in any range. I have taken it back several times & it still is not right.

The Ford/Merc-o-Matic Tranny Bob also installed had to be completely rebuilt by Big 4 Transmissions & another Tourque Converter found to replace the one that Bob supplied, as it was in such a state that it was not rebuildable, after I paid for the complete Ford/Merc-o-Matic tranny & all his work.
And it turns out that he supplied a '56 Bell Housing & Tourque Converter that are of the "Air Cooled" type & the Tranny is the "Fluid Cooled" type & he mated the 2 together which made for interesting problems down the road.

He does a Great Power Steering conversion to the Toyota type that Everyone here seems to like, but I asked for N.O.S. parts to be used. One of his competitors has these N.O.S. parts & he knew this & still did the Toyota conversion. And he did not tell me that w/ this conversion you loose the use of your Original Horn Button that came w/ your truck & an after market one is installed on the Steering Column, which I had to take the truck back to have done as it wasn't when he originally had it for 3 months.

Unless he supervises her crew or does the work himself it does not get done correctly or not at all or takes forever, at least on my '58 M-100.

 

I've got a set of F-100 hubcaps if you're interested, email me at
clussy 38 @ aol. c o m, ( remove spaces from email address. ) I get sets all the time.
