Hi! to all 1952-54 Ford owners! I guess we are up and running so we can share stories and information on our builds and places to find parts,Welcome aboard!

Thanx for starting this group and glad to be here. Gotta 54 Mainline with a Y block, gonna chop it and slam it! worx in progress. fotos will come soon. thanx again. John.
If you need a specific part for your project, just drop me a message. I know somebody with a HUGE inventory of 50's Ford parts. You name the part, and I can probably get it for you. I also have an extra 70B body if anyone needs patch panels.
Thanks Jeffb2 for starting this group.I've got a 52 cusso,short down here for Customline.My girl started life as a fordoor and then we gathered all the parts needed to give her the 2door treatment. Thanks again tony.
Thanks Jeffb2 for the invite. have only had the car for about 3 months, still has the inline 6, neat little car. runs great. fun little car. I have noticed that not many goodies are made for this year of car. thank again for the invite.
What's up fellas! Glad to be a part of this group! I have a 53 Ford Customline, and a 53 Mercury Monterey. I just pulled the fuel tank from the Ford to clean it out. 56 years of God only knows what kind of **** has ac***ulated inside of it! I am looking for a tight steering box/column as well. Anybody have one they wouldn't mind parting with? Rob
Hello. My car is put together from 3 parts cars and I am using the "1952" nose. It's a 2dr sedan going together as a mild custom. These cars don't get much from the aftermarket, but for basic parts try Concours Parts and Accessories. I found their website ok but their paper catalog has a lot more than I ever figured I'd find for the old Ford. I also know of a row of these in a salvage yard in southern Tennessee if this would help anybody, but they're pretty rough,
My first car was a 54 Ford Mainline,,,,I blew up the ivory 6 just a few days after I bought it,,16 years old and a size 12 foot,,the poor ol' engine couldn't take it! I installed a Mercury 390 and it lasted until I rolled the car in a accident. I went a few years not giving the 54's any thought,,then one day I met my future wife and her grandmother had a 54 Ranch Wagon, that she had purchased brand spanking new of Guy Motors Ford dealership right here in Anderson,South Carolina,,so we got to ride in it occasionaly,,my wife got her drivers license in the car,,,we dated in the car, Then one day her grandmother decided to sell the car,,,my wifes dad(Clyde) wanted it so she gave it to him,,,he used it to haul junk and go camping in it,,,he ggrew tierd of it and decided to sell,,,this is where my wife steps up and he gave it to her. She drove it for a few years and hauled our twin girls around in it,,until the spindle selfdestructed and it was parked in the barn. Long story short,,the Wagon is a long term project with many ,many hours in just saving the body,,,
hey guys, ive got a 54 2 door sedan mild custom.....glad to see someone started a social club for this..............john
Got a '52 Sedan Delivery. Owned it a couple of years, but getting ready to get started on it. Good to get involved with some folks with this era Ford's. Rodshop
Well I'm on my second 54 I traded my custom black and purple one for a stocker. I can't wait to start on the new 54.
Hi All, geat to be part of the group. I'm doing a full rebuild/mild custom on a '55 ranchwagon for my Wife. Have adapted in a power steer box (RHD out of Australian '80's fairlane) and used a column out of a '66 bird to make it a little more comfortable for her to drive. Runs a y block , toploader and 9 inch .
I got a 55 sunliner that has a 351-W and C-4 but I am seriously considering going back to a Y block if I can find a running rusty 61 or 62 galaxie for a donor,I need the 351 for my 65 custom 500
Hey all, I've got a '53 Customline fordor that I picked up last summer. She's a stocker with 65k on the original V8 flattie. Interior is all original and in great shape. Still have the original tires (off of the car). Glad that you made a thread for us!
