Well, turns out the sob was in the parts washer! I guess I left it there in the move. Now for a bigger problem. I can’t find the hubs anywhere....
I have a ‘57 axle under the truck now that I found on the cheap to get it around. Maybe it’s best to clean it up and use it. The drivers side...
Cool, I’ll start looking for one... Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Re-working my brakes and one side is missing the (dust cover?) on the inside. Should I try to find a replacement or just run without?[IMG] Sent...
Could be... The documentation he has is conflicting. It is tagged as a '46 but there are a couple things that state '47.
Here are a few pics of the engine... [IMG] [IMG]
It's pretty clean that's for sure and fun to work on. It was the first time I have seen left hand thread lug nuts though. Didn't take long to...
Here is the '46 that my father picked up last year. I haven't had a chance to post in a while, but I thought I would share... [IMG] [IMG]...
The 300 I6 can be good motor for dependable driving and good torque, just don't expect alot of horsepower. We have one with nearly 300K miles on...
This thread has been interesting and I thank Motor King for his input. While I may not agree with the practice of importing things that could be...
I could really care less how good or bad any of them are. Unless it is going to sit in my dining room cabinet, "Made in China", will not be...
I also spoke with someone who works for Miller Electric and he told me pretty much the same thing. The Hobart line is made with a few more...
So, I have moved to the front axle now and I am a little worried about the safety of using the spindles I have. On both sides there was no cotter...
I like Milwaulkee tools. I have always had Makita, because a friend of mine worked there, but recently started to lean towards Milwaulkee I have...
Once my father and I were in his '56 f-100 and the hood came up, tommy boy style while we were driving down the road. When we came to a stop we...

I'll have to come up and check it out. Is it at Lanier?
Welcome from somewhere a bit farther south...
I was worried about the weakness in the frame, so I was leaning toward the tubular x-members for both the Transmission and engine. I mean I can...

Hi, from Downtown!
East Atlanta Village, Right in the thick of it...
Ehh, not a big deal, I guess I just inherited a '56 F-100 project. Just wish I had known earlier. Would have went for the stroker motor and set...
So I have taken on the project of restoring my father's 1956 F-100. Built a 5.0L, grabbed a WC T-5, stripped and painted the frame, and am in the...
I measured just now and the center pin of the spring without any weight on it is 1" behind the front mounting hole for the rear bump stop, but I...
I can measure the '56 chassis I am working on when I get home. IIRC the center pins are slightly offset on the springs.
I haven't got that far on my project yet, but I am also interested in seeing a few good pics of quality auto electric. I was looking at a...
