I took this intake off my engine because the flanges that position the generator bracket are broken. My question is about the two ports seen in the photo. I think I know what one of them is for, but rather than show my ignorance. I am asking for your input. While I am asking questions about...

I need help from those on Fordbarn that are more familiar with the fan assembly on the 49-53 V8. I was leafing through the 2021 Van Pelt LLC parts catalog and I noticed on page 88 an article titled “Service and How-Tips for the Oil Filled Fan Assembly “. It has a photo that looks exactly like...

I bought a 1950 f1 that was converted to 12 volts with an alternator and a bracket that doesn’t appear to be manufactured well. If the photos display I hope to show that the square spacer/washer that holds the bracket to the intake is barely “catching “ the left side. I am afraid that during...

I know this has been addressed numerous times but when I search for “ how to post pictures “ . It shows that “how to “ is too common and I get every post that has a picture attached. Will someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Tonneau covers for 48-50 f-1’s I have seen some nicely fabricated tonneau covers on some truck beds over the years but I never paid much attention. Now I can see the merits of having some sort of cover on the bed to keep incidental cargo out of sight while not attended. I did a search here but...

I took the bed off my 1950 f1 in order to clean it up and now everyone that sees the truck mentions that I don’t have a 1950 rearend installed. Nobody is sure what application it comes from(year/model, etc.) but they believe it is Ford because of the large hole to access the axle bolts. I am...

I’m doing the brakes on a 1950 f1 and the Ford manual says to use Lubriplate on all metal to metal contact points. I am wondering if there isn’t a modern lubricant that’s even better. For instance during my online search one Fordbarner mentioned Permatex silicone ceramic brake lubricant...

I have been trying to bleed the brake lines on my 1950 f1 and am having no success. I searched the threads on this site and saw all the similar problems and suggestions to solve. I saw where some wheel cylinders may have been manufactured incorrectly but I also saw where some said the master...

I am ready to setup my f1 engine after a rebuild so I have removed all the front body parts for better access. Now I need to remount at least the radiator so I can run the engine to make the necessary adjustments. The old radiator leaks at the bottom just above the lower tank. I would like to...

I am in need of exploded part breakdowns of the body components of a 1950 f1 pickup.

I am in need of a website that shows exploded views of the body parts for a 1950 f1 pickup.

I have been trying to figure out which of the possible ratios I have in my truck and of course everyone says there is a metal tag on the case. I now have the bed of the truck off and can see every bit of the case. No metal tag. I see an area that looks like there could have been a tag at one...

I am giving up on repairing the running boards on my 1950 f1 myself. My skill level has been exceeded and it is time to admit it. Now the question is where is the best source to procure replacements. I don’t have any experience with who are the reputable suppliers and who to avoid. I would...

I am ready to change the the bulbs for my 1950 f1 to 12 volt bulbs. Most replacements are relatively straight forward since I have separate turn signal lamps wired front and back by a previous owner. Thus I don't have to rewire the bases in the parking/tail lights for dual filament bulbs. My...

I am going to inject oil into the engine in my '50 f1 using a pressure tank before I work on getting it road worthy this winter. This engine has sat w/o being turned over for a number of years. I have used the oil pressure sender port to attach the pressure tank in the past, but I wonder if...

I have the fenders off my 1950 f1 for soda blasting in preparation for metal restoration. I have been toying with the idea of coating the insides of the fenders with undercoating/sound deadener while I have them off and rebuilt. However, there are so many products on the market that I am...

I have removed the fenders (all four) from my 1950 f-1 to make rust repairs. I noticed a recent thread about welting on a 1937 vehicle. I knew a previous owner of my vehicle had used caulk where the welting should have been and I intend to install beaded welting when I reinstall the fenders. I...

I am providing some update to a post I did a short while ago about my rebuilt engine that has sat approx. five years without being run and how it got progressively harder to turn the engine with a breaker bar on the crankshaft nut. So hard to turn that I feared damaging threads on crankshaft so...

I had a late model Mercury FH rebuilt about five years ago but haven't found the time to get the vehicle it was intended for finished. I rotated it occasionally using the crankshaft pulley nut but lately it won't rotate and I'm afraid of putting too much force to the crankshaft nut. I also am...

I need some help with figuring out if I can use a Ford toploader 4-speed apparently referred to as an "SROD". I'm told by the seller that this is a transmission with a Ford bolt pattern in which the 4th gear is overdrive. It is all aluminum and supposedly stouter than the S10 T5's I've been...
