I am assembling a factory correct tool kit for my 1950 Ford F-2 truck. I have all the tools except for the rear wheel bearing wrench, Ford Part #61-17033. It is a 2 3/8" size socket that is 2 3/4" tall. Should have a diamond M marking for Mossberg. Thanks!

That’s interesting. I had heard that the fire extinguishers were mainly used by commercial operators.

I would be fine with either. All of the original ads that I’ve seen for 50-51 still show the FORD tags. Though, I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t update catalog photos just because their label changed.

Will do, good to know. The engine compartment light does look really cool as well.

Found one, thanks!

I did read that some of the earlier versions of this fire extinguisher had a blue oval, but they are much rarer than the red versions.

Yes, I saw that. Asking price can be very different from sold price though. Previous auction listings that I found all sold between $50-$250, depending on condition and I would guess how publicized the auction was. Thanks for the photos of your trucks guys, those look really good.

I don’t think anyone would consider using one on an actual fire nowadays, just for display.

Thanks 19Fordy, I have seen those. I should have been more specific, if anyone has a photo of theirs installed in their truck, I'd love to see it. Also, if anyone knows where I could find one, I'd appreciate it. I've searched all around and haven't been able to source one.

Hi guys, I have a 1950 F-2, and recently starting looking through a 1950 Ford Accessory pamphlet. One of the items listed is a dealer option fire extinguisher. Has anyone ever come across one of these? I would really like to find one for my truck, just wanted to see if anyone else has one...

I'm looking for a speedometer driven gear, either one of these will work. 01Y-17271-E 22 tooth 01Y-17271-F 23 tooth Photo for reference. (the driven gear on the right) Thanks! Ben

I'm looking for a 1938 or 1939 3/4 or 1 ton truck to restore. Looking to go all original, so original driveline is a must. Planning on a frame off restoration, so almost any condition is fine as long as it is fairly complete and not swiss cheese. If anyone knows of any good projects around...
