IMHO, don't forget the value of compressed air. Use the alternate up/down movement with favorite rust buster combined with blowing out the holes as part of each up/down cycle. Only two things in the hole - stud and corrosion. Each time you blow out some minor corrosion,,you will reduce friction...

Priced for the pair. Never mounted, No holes drilled. Shipping not included.

Btt

Never installed. Have formed pads for headlight mount. Never drilled. Black gel coat finish. Price does not include shipping. May fit 1.5 ton as well.

What am I missing? If a Ford V-8 flathead is ready for valve adjustment, the intake must be removed for access. The engine might still be hot, but it won't be running. Perhaps the question refers to a flathead with overhead valve conversion, as maybe Ardun heads??

Thanks,51. I will be in touch in the future. I am going to try to keep this one in its current condition except to clean the grease off, get the brakes working, reupholster, replace glass, etc., and get it running if possible.

Thanks, your's looks ready to haul!

Thanks Dave and Karl. My observations are consistent with yours except I have a full width bench seat that sits on the gas tank. I have to go have a look as I don't have a good photo of where the filler neck is. I seem to think it is at the front corner on the passenger side (inside the cab)...

gonna try a photo..........

Model 51! Great to hear from you. I saw some of your posts when I first got hold of my 36 Model 51 (131.5 wheelbase) and barely knew what questions to ask. I have emailed Don Rogers for a copy of his tire spec sheet, and I know that will help. Rotorwrench has also provided some good tips on...

Thanks Bob. That squares with my current research. Jim

Don, is there a chance you could send me a copy of that dealer truck album page? I can't seem to get it big enough to study. Thanks. Jim

Thanks for all the tips on literature. I have looked at much of it and kind of concluded that the main difference between the one ton, 1.5 ton, and heavier models was in the wheel and tire size specs. The dealer info sheet posted by don rogers was most helpful and will give me a read on what...

Can anyone point me to good reference tools to differentiate between 1 ton, 1.5 ton and larger 36 trucks? My Model 51 flatbed has the 131.5 wheelbase with duals on the rear. Also has the 21stud flathead and a 4speed ******. Thanks for any assistance. I have the s/n if it helps. Jim
