Thread: WOW, Where to start? 52 Ford Pickup

Tweet

Good places to buy parts....Sacramento Vintage Ford (www.vintage-ford.com) and Speedwaymotors.com. Sacramento mostly for the F-1 parts and Speedway for the engine parts (flathead or others). As Mike P said, these projects are long-term "hobbies" and when you're working alone and have to make a living, the truck often gets on the back burner. I started my "pull-apart" in 1999! Just got it licensed and insured last year. Down again for 3 months for the trans pull and replace. Maybe a week or two from running again. But then, I need to install the blower, so that's more time. These things are never finished! Wifey just needs to understand her man! Lets' see if I can attach these photos. Later! Sorry about the file size on those yellow pix! Maybe someone can resize them.

Buy some plastic bags and use them to hold the nuts and bolts you remove when dismantling the truck. Use a marker to label the bags so when you go to reassemble it, you will know what size nuts and bolts to buy so everything will bolt up as before.

Do as said. Plenty of pictures, lots of baggies. Take notes as well. Buy tools you are going tpo need a lot of tools. And resize pictures so that we can see them.
