    1948-1950 Ford Pick-Ups

    NO, the F-2 Front fenders are about 2 1/2 higher to accommodate larger F-2 tires. My 1951 F-1 had F-2 front fenders, which came from a re-builder I bought from. Don

    solenoid with start button

    From my earlier thread; RE the Echlin ST-58 NAPA gave me that would not work on my '49 Ford positive ground PU which as I know, requires the ST-53. If solenoids are not polarity sensitive, then the New Asian made Eichlin solenoid ST-58 must of been just faulty. Only difference I could tell was...

    solenoid with start button

    Leon, I think the ST 58 is for Negative ground only. ST 53 is the one for Positive ground. I found this out the hard way when NAPA thru the wrong one in the bag when I needed one (ST53) for positive ground on '49 PU. Of course I couldn't return it. The ST58 was made for some small Nash/AMC...

    53 dash cluster

    Doug, It will come out the front. You have to disconnect the speedo cable and maybe the bulbs in the back. Also the circuit breakers on side are sometimes attached to the instrument housing. Turn it a little sideways and you can just lay it on the steering column. I changed out my speedo this...

    52 hubcap problem

    Ron, I had the same problem on my '53 and '54 cars and tried it all. I kept slightly loosening the tabs on the wheel-covers from a firmer position and finally they stayed on,original rims,radials and all. After several years and 13K mi, none have fallen off. Good Luck, Don

    KIWI, I know that 1949 F-! production started on 6-10-48 and ran thru 11-15-49. Also '49 parts start with 1948 number(8). Ford expected the '49's to all commence in 1948. Don
