Again thanks for the help everyone. So when it all came out in the wash I ended the day with a pair of 49 F series spindles and 53 F series brakes. I now know without adapters that space the wheel out my '35 wires won't be ideal. I found an article on line that someone scanned that gives all the...

Very nice. I'll be looking to source those. I spent the entire evening reading and came up with this. The 49 f1-f3 spindles were the same. The 53f100 drums will fit with a 40.00 speedway bearing kit. I'll need to source the steering arms and probably go with my second choice of rims. Ditch the...

Also I found a guy that will trade me my 49 axle, drums and backing plates and a set of 35 headlights (I keep spindles) for a complete 53 f100 front axle. Am I money ahead? http://www.hotrodhotline.com/md/html/f100_brakes_for_early_fords.php Found this too.

So that confirms what I was starting to believe. Now back to the drums and hubs. Am I looking for 42-48 car (47 truck) hubs and drums? I'm sure I'll still need a spacer ring for the 35 wires as well.

Backing plate. Lockheed then correct?

Here is what I have.

Would you consider my 49 square back spindles "early"? I am going to run '35 wires on this set up. Does that throw a whole new wrench in?

I'll dig them out this weekend, I think that would help me out a bunch rather than have you guys shoot from the hip. If I don't get back on tonight everyone have a great thanksgiving and thanks for the help. I tell people about this site all the time, lots of tech help here.

Will these be a good start to what I need? http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=114280&highlight=Hubs

Ok Coop, I think I'm following and then I called the antique auto ranch here in town and get thrown again. Before I asked my original question I felt secure that my 49 F2 backing plates were the same as the 42-48's and my square back spindles would work with 42-48 pickup and car hub/drums...

I've been reading on this all evening and can't find anything that makes perfect sense to me. I have a 40 front axle and what I believe to be 49 F2 front brakes. I was planning on keeping my truck 8 lug but have decided to go 5x5.5 I hope to use the spindles and backing plates, I'm also...

I need a bed for my 35. Willing make a trade for a useable box

Sorry, I spaced out for a minute there. Anyhow the cab is nice, it doesn't help me out so it's time for a new home. I had to decide to take it or pass on it site unseen with very little notice. I took it but don't need it. Oh well.

I bought it to chop it, I know.. Wrong forum. It very useable. Door are pretty nice, got the mechanisms working today so the door open and close. Lines are good. Rust through in the front lower portions like usual. Dash is pretty stock but has an additional hole cut in it. No glass. No cranks...

It's pretty decent but the rear window is rusted and it was beat up around the back. I figured if I'm going to chop it maybe I could blend the best of both into one? I have a tendency to overthink, maybe I'm under thinking this time.
