What year are these drums?

I am on the hunt for 53-56 F100 drum set up for my A project. Can anyone ID this set up?

 

Sorry I am at work got side tracked. Here are attachments.

 

Pretty sure those are F-100. I think F-1's weren't quite as flat on the mounting surface.

 

So do we have a guess on what year?

 

The F-100 that bolt on old Ford (37-48) spindles were made in 53-56.

 

Yes I think I understand that part. I just want to make sure that these are 53-56 before i pay for them.

 

look like 53/56 F-100 from here, I'm away from my Truck right now, but think you found right one's, picture of Axel looks like F-100. Could be later year, but should work IMHO.

 

I think it needs to be pretty specific to 53-56. If you take a look at your and they are them same let me know. I appreciate it.

 

Evening bump

 

No one on .Any f100 guys out there?

 

The drums are the same from 53 to 60 im sure . And so are the hubs I think . But to tell you what year it is for sure we would need to see a better pic of the driver side spindle. Also The 53 to 56 used the old school ball style tierods were 57 and up were the new style . I thunk

 

Can you explain more about the ball style tierods?The axle is not on the truck so how do Identify the the drivers side spindle?

 

I'd bet they are 20th century

 

Thanks for your helpfull input.

 

I got a '54 F100 front end sitting behind the shop and that looks damn near mirror image. You can ****he the rest. I'm not there to look at it, and I'm not an F100 guy. I nabbed it because pops did an IFS for someone, and it ended up in the s**** bin. Might make a good g***er axle. Hope that helped a little.

 

Thanks a lot. This makes me more confidant to spend the dough for it.

 

Is your for sale?

 

Sorry man. I snagged it for a future purpose. I thought it was stupid that they put it in the s**** bin in the first place.

 

The drum you are showing is the p***enger hub. you can see the tie rod on the back side of the axle.

 

Ok I am going out in the morning and I will get more pics.

 

those are `48-`52 F-1's..same as F-100 except just a bit wider , about 3/8" a side

adapts just like F-100

 

Ok I thought 49 was the first time Ford wen to duel springs? If what you are saying is true, are they still self energizing?

 

yes , self energizing...the stuff inside is all the same..so is the backing plate. just the hubs/drums have a different offset. use them , they will be fine

i have F-1's on my `28 tudor

 

Thats good news. I am going out there this morning to pay the man.

 

OK I went and took a look today. Looks like it has the ball style tye rod end. The problem is one side is missing a drum. He ***ures me there is one in the yard somewhere. Are drums hard to come by?
