Projects 1951 Ford F1

Hi All,
Just bought a new project that I’m going to use as my local run around. It’s a Ford F1, solid little truck that has been swapped with a later Ford inline 6. It also has a clutch/brake hanging pedal ***embly I’m trying to identify. Truck did run but has no brakes at all. I had a F2 about 30 years ago. Hopefully getting it transported to my shop next week, currently not able to work on anything for 6 weeks according to surgeon.

 

is that a late 50's ford p'u w/ hyd clutch--similar to the chevs w/diff looking masters?

 

Normally this year the brake master is under the floor and the clutch is a bar.

 

Interesting. Looks like two Mustang "fruit jar" m/c.

 

That’s what I was thinking. They used one for the clutch.

 

Looks to be a 52 with the painted emblem with v8 on hood and Ford on lower panel at least the front end.

 

Yeah, '52 front sheetmetal. Might want to check all the serial numbers if it's advertised as a '51.

Is that engine a 240/300?

 

Identified them as 1966 C10 Master Cylinders

 

It’s a 300, was advertised as 51/52

 

Cleaned up a small area on the roof to see what it would look like cleared. Got it running today as well, runs very smooth.

 

73-79 F100 - F150 will bolt right in no mods needed . That will get you some good road gears easily . You will need lower spring plates also .

 

If you are referring to 9" rear ends, the 57-72 F100 is the one that is the correct width and will bolt in.
I have a '66 F100 rear under mine. 73 and up are wider overall and spring mounts also.

 

Got the hydraulic clutch working. It’s a 67 C10 master and an international slave cylinder. The transmission is a np435.

I’m now converting the brakes to dual master cylinder using parts I already had on the shelf.
