I used 1x6 Mahogany (3/4x 5 1/2). It is sold by the foot so I cut it a little long at the store. Sanded it down and treated it with 3 coats of Tung oil. Also put Turtle Ice synthetic polish on top which soaked in. I sanded lightly between coats. I think Tung oil comes from the Tung tree in...

For my 51 F1, I got all the dimensions from Mid Fifty. I also got the drill bits for the hold down bolts from Harbor freight. Worked great. Several other sites that sell the boards also have a diagram of the bed including bed dimensions, I got my wood from Home depot. Did the routing and...

A long time ago, when I was tuning up a 289, I bumped the plug when I installed it and closed the plug gap to zero. Check your plug gap in that cylinder

Thank You Larry !

I am attempting to restore a 56 Crown Vic. Are the window crank handles the same in front and back?

Thank You guys. Both boxes have the star washer on top and both are from a 56 Ford crown vic and a 2 door sedan. The one in the cv does not have much free play and so I will keep it. I can also change it later using the special language of an amateur mechanic

Hello everyone,I have a manual steering crown vic and a power steering parts car. Are the steering boxes the same part number? At 74 years young, I would like to have power steering.

I agree. They are very similar, but do not have the buttons on the front or back. I think it is close enough to get seat parts. Thank You guys

I purchased a pair of seats and cannot ID them. Can anyone help? The seats were power at one time. They came out of a Jeep and owner does not know what the came out of originally. I think a Ford, but after several hours of searching, I gave up.

I am restoring a 56 Crown Vic and have removed all wiring. There was not a fuse box anywhere in my car. I will probably put an aftermarket harness in when I reassemble.

I put one on my 51 F1 flathead. Started up easy, runs great. Very Happy. Did not have to adjust. I bought it from Midwest. It was expensive $324.00 Unfortunately, I don't get to drive it much. Probably ran two tanks of gas through it so far.

I am looking for the small chrome part at the rear top of the left door on a 55 or 56 crown vic. It is about 1.5" long and has a P/N B5A-6421089-A or maybe BN-6421089-A. Must be in repairable condition.

Thank You guys for the info

I am trying to restore a 56 Crown Vic and it looks like the frame may be bad. I can purchase a scrap 56 2 door sedan with a good frame. Are they both the same?

Finished my 51 F1 build. During the process I purchased the small rear window by mistake. Freight to return was more than the window was worth. If anyone in Northern CA can use it and wants to come to Tracy, They can have it for $20.00. Still in box

Thank You and you are right!.

Has anyone converted a 56 club sedan rear bumper into a 56 Victoria bumper by cutting the holes and bending the steel in?

I guess I will answer the next logical question. How many others have this trim code on the Victoria?

After you get your chrome all polished and pretty, how do you repaint the accent groves. I have trouble getting the paint to stick.

I just purchased a 55 Vic with the trim code ATD1. I know the AT is black /white, but does anyone know what D1 stands for? The car has power seats, power brakes, power steering, windshield washer and AC. It also has a knob above the radio with a "SPEAKER" nametag on it. The options are factory...
