Re: My driveway built 52 f-1 nearly DONE
Looks great. Did you reinforce the mounting points in the stake pocket for the tailgate hinge/ taillight brackets? If so, How? I can't tell on any of the orig. beds I have, too far gone.
Thanks |

As far as the mounting location I just welded nuts inside the stake pocket. I will try to take a pic of it for you on my 1948 when I get home later today since that one doesn't currently have a bed floor installed. |

Re: My driveway built 52 f-1 nearly DONE
Thanks for this build thread, you have done a great job in preserving the original look of a great old Ford. I'll view it many times more as I get closer to working on my '52.

Re: My driveway built 52 f-1 nearly DONE
Thanks, i'd appreciate it. I have the reinforcing pc for the stake pocket to the lower crossmember, but just couldn't work out what the factory did. It looked like they used cage nuts.
Thanks again, truck(s) look great. Quote:

Re: My driveway built 52 f-1 nearly DONE
Thanks guys.
With help from my dad and my friend Toby, we burned the midnight oil and recovered my seat. It look a lot better now.  A few weeks ago I also replaced the speedometer with a nice one and put all new knobs on the dash. This thing has really shaped up. |
