A few times now I have taken my '49 F1 for a ride and the brakes were fine out of a cool garage but as things warm up, the brake system pressurizes so much that the brake switch is activated and the brakes drag. I have loosened the brakes twice and it still does it. This is a totally stock setup...

Anyone know where I might find or the availability of the Halibrand case that uses the stock differential components? Thanks, Chris

So we aquired this '33 pickup basket case the other day. The plan for it is to turn it into an almost all Ford traditional Hotrod. It will keep the original '33 front end and the 4:11 Banjo rear for now. may even keep the mechanical brakes. I'm thinking it will end up with no fenders, running...

Aquired a '33 project (basket case) pickup today. Pretty straight old girl. Not alot of rust repair needed. Bottom back of cab is about the worst. Frame is good. Still has metal floor in the body. Would say it had or was going to have a different trans at some point but has a new cross member...

Hi, I'm looking at a '30 model A on CL. The guy is touting it as a Murray body and that it's rare with only 500 being made. I know about zero about Ford's earlier than '35. Is this indeed a rare body? And does rare mean more valuable in this case? Im not going to ask it's value. That's whatever...

Anyone found a good speedo cable replacement? I replaced mine last year with one from Macs. It was about 6 inches longer than the original. I ran it as straight as possible but it still kinked up and broke. Thanks, Chris

I'm stuck in West Palm for a couple days waiting for our line trucks to come back from Bahamas. Are there any good Ford antique places/museums to visit here? I'm at the Marriott on Springer island. Would love to get outta here for awhile. Thanks, Chris

Took my '49 F1 to a local shop this morning to have a new exhaust put on. They did a great job and I am very pleased with their work. I have tube headers and had them run straight pipe exhaust but had them make it easy in case I want to cut in a set of mufflers. I like the sound. It barks a...

I have a '49 F1 with an 8BA. Completely stock 6v system. A few times now it hasn't started first thing in the day. The first time it did this I put a test light from the battery to the coil input to make sure it was getting power. It was so I cranked it again and it fired right off. Its done...

another junk yard find.. going to try and salvage the frame, trans and rearend. any idea what year it is? I'm thinking '41 by the front sheet metal in the same area. Wish the cowl was still in it!

Does anyone have a timken or national seal number for a '49 3spd toploader output seal? Even the ID and OD would help. Pretty obvious that I forgot to replace mine.. I did do the input before I installed the trans though. Still had a leather seal in it. Chris

Anyone experienced installing a steering box rebuild kit from CCP? I purchased one for my '49 F1 box. The kit came with a new steering shaft with worm gear installed. I thought this would be pretty good not to have to press a worm gear off and on. Turns out the new steering shaft is bent right...

What is the go to place for head liner, kick panels etc for a '49 F1? Has the cardboard type in it now. Doesn't do good with moisture. Head liner fell down. I'm a ways out on this. For now I will look at the carpet padding someone glued to the roof.... Just want to be thinking about it...

whats involved in reeming king pin bushings? cant be too hard. what is used for a tool and where could i get one? Thanks, Chris

I understand how to check caster with the vehicle level. My question is: should the vehicle be level sitting on the ground or is on a lift with no weight on the tires ok? And what should the caster angle be on a '49 F1? Thanks, Chris

I didn't take pics of my floor plates when I took them off from around the pedals and steering column (stupid) and I can't for the life of me figure out how they all go back on. There is 4 pieces all together. The 2 bigger plates are pretty easy, its the 2 smaller plates that I can't figure out...
