Does anyone know of any other years of pitman arms that would work on a 53-56 f-100 box? (like an earily 50s F1?) maybe a dumb question, but i got only ideas, not answers. Thanks guys
I don't believe an F1 pitman arm will work they have a solid splined hole that a nut goes over to hold it on the f100 53-56 "clamp" on with a bolt and nut squeezing the pitman arm to the shaft, I don't know about later years though
57-60 also fit and they are set up for a tapered end tie rod. The 53-56 has the ball end. The arm mounts the same with the few splines and the big pinch bolt.
i know the pitman arm from the dump truck box will fit my 55 box, pretty wicked application there.... hahaha can a guy swap pitman arms and drill out the spindle on a 55 to run the tie bar like the 57-60? just curious....
Thanks guys, Tomorrow im going iron hunting, I found a yard like ive never seen before, French Lake Auto Parts, I spent 4 hours there the other day looking through 14000 old cars, Ill post some pictures, Hundreds of cars from the late 30s and 40s, Thousands of 1950s cars, if anyone need me to hunt some iron out there, let me know what your after.
