I have a 39 standard that the oil line return goes into a special bolt on the fuel pump mount. However it has an oil leak between the fuel pump mount and the intake manifold.

It changed in mid 49 from the 48-early 49 bed with a metal cover over the wood to the 50 style bed with wood and metal strips. The bed sides and rear fenders are different between the two styles.

I don't think the original location is too big a hazard as it is not the full width of the cab. Some of the later trucks had tanks that extended to the sides of the cab.

I have an 8BA engine that came out of a 49 F5 truck that had a 4 speed transmission. In addition to the 3" thick cast iron bellhousing there is a 1" thick cast iron spacer between the bellhousing and block. Is this spacer for a particular clutch or flywheel?

I used PPG Delfleet Essential and am happy with it. It is a urethane single stage.

There were conversion kits back in the day to install sealed beams in a 39.

I have a 39 Standard that originally came with a 3 brush generator and cutout. The output of this generator is only rated at 15 amps at 6 volts. When driving at night with headlights and a heater when the generator is adjusted for maximum output it would "sling solder" out of the commutator...

There were a couple of dealer installed heaters offered by Ford. The most common is a recirculating heater mounted on the passenger side. Also available was a fresh air heater that pulled air from under the right fenderwell.

Where are you located? I have a couple of rear ends from an F1.

The headlight buckets should have a gasket which is available from the Ford suppliers. There also is a rubber seal available for the lower front fenders.

My 39 had the return through the fuel pump bolt. I never could keep it from leaking oil between the fuel pump stand and intake manifole.

I bought some turn signal lights from Drake. They came with 12 volt bulbs. I could no t find 6 volt bulbs locally to fit and a call to Drakes said they did not sell them. They charged a 20% restocking charge even though they would not fit what they sold them for.

It takes a punch slightly less in diameter than the OD of the bushing ( so it will slip through) and either a press or a big hammer. They can be a pain.

I have (2) 50 rear ends laying here, but they are in Virginia. I installed a 9" from an 57 F100 in mine. It was a direct bolt in other than adding shims for the pinion angle and adding the 57 crossmember for the shocks. I don't know how many miles were on the 57 with a 223 6 cyl, but the ring...

The old 3 brush generator I think is only rated 15 amps and the third brush position sets the current output. The 2 brush unit as used on a 40 Ford is a better unit, is self regulating, and I think is rated up to 30 amps. You must have the correct pulley on it to mount the fan. It uses a...

Kube, Thanks for the pictures. Where are you running your return line as it appears to go down. Do you have a Ford heater? Mine has an Arvin and the heater hose lays against the fuel pump (not good). Mine has the original steel fuel line which I am replacing due to rust and the firewall...

Kube, I am would like to know more about the oil filter mounting for a 39. Mine has the older type filter that is in a sealed replaceable can mounted by bracket to the head bolts. The return is to the fuel pump stand and leaking from under the stand has always been a problem. Tom

If the rear end is overfilled with oil or the inner axle seals are bad, the gear oil can get into the bearing grease.
