The one from the truck is a water cooled three speed. The one shown from the other engine appears to be a air cooled(some 1956 trucks had a hybrid...
I own two factory ford-o-matic trucks, which transmission are you running? The original from the truck or the new motor?
[IMG] Those are 54 caps. The 53s are smooth with out the ribs i think. I run the 54's on my truck. 1954 was not a real popular year ford. I gave...

That is a factory option 1957-60 ford truck radio:D Looks like you have a padded dash? The padded dash was a fairly rare option which came with...
Very well could be for a mercury outboard, I did a quick search thinking the same thing awhile back and never came up with anything.
Fellow hambers, A friend asked me to identify some parts he has. What I know: there are enough pieces to do two sides, has hra 61 stamped on the...

Don't paint the body panels until your close to putting them on, its alot harder to store painted parts and not scratch! I'll echo what the...
Welcome from akron, Is that your uni-body? -Andrew
The 56 ford truck they make is fiberglass, and so is the roof section somebody was looking for. My vote is the 32 5 window....
Judging by the pics, those are the 450cfm Mechanical secondary holleys that they recommend for tunnel rams.
My friend runs a 56 f100 with a stock y block and a 2.73:1 rear gear. He says it runs good about 75-80mph and knocked out 18+mpg on the way to the...
Good choice, has this JEEM vibe to it:D
He said it was built in the 1950's with a body of fiberglass which does not equal the GT40:D The last contestant said she was going to use some...

Yes, you can drive the oil pump with a hex bit just like any other engine. I've heard of guys removing one side of rockers and starting them. Some...
For a bolt together swap, 57-60 are the year interchanges. 53-56 can work, but requires work. I would say dropped axle and mono's or reversed eye...
53-55 COE are the only years that will fit your 54.
Throw some original tires on it and don't touch a thing! There only original once.... Awesome piece
Didn't some 406's have cross bolted mains like the 427s? Would be a easy indicator. edit: Just saw someone else already posted this.
1957 ford trucks are not a hard find, but a rust free one is. A short bed, big backwindow is the cat's ass. If the body's in nice shape(floors,...

If original to the truck, that would be a 292. Check the block right above the oil filter for numbers(if its a cleveland block, most 292's are) if...
No, once rebuilt with modern oils you should be just fine with the stock passages. The passages from the cam to the rockerstands get...
I had a set of patriot long tubes on 1959 f-100, which is roughly the same truck under the body. You can get them from summit racing and they...
