You are looking for a tag on one of the diff bolts that reads 7-36 which should denote the 5.14 gear set for high speed.

I found conveyor belt works like a charm, also Ice rink mats is another good source for material. I mounted mine to the bed cross member behind the rear wheels and left about 4" clearance from the bottom to the ground.

I have the same cab and a factory bed if you need more photos

Have been looking for a source for newer drums to fit my 31 AA, but to no avail. Has anyone found anything to replace the rather overused drums?

I wish I had one to loan, two would be better. This is a problem on my truck, trying to see around the racks and what is behind. I wonder if a brass casting could be made up?

Mine is not allowed to do any commercial work due to insurance rules, but any job that won't easily fit in my Modern GMC P/U with canopy is relegated to the double A. Gyproc sheets, Lumber runs, garbage dump, soil/sand, and even King size mattresses all get the big iron treatment. I find the Sierra ...

How about removing the flange to wheel rivets and riveting in the eight lug flange?

Got any 20X6.00 Tires?

I don't think FOMOCO would license that item in aftermarket. Try going to the wrecking yard and pull them out of a wrecked mustang. (Lots of them)

Well done! Give your Dad a pat on the back and a cold beer! Very impressive.

Thanks for the info Neil, it help me understand a lot more about the rack assembly. I may modify the viewing panel I have to use on the front rack as I believe once the racks are installed all the view I can get will be helpful. The front Rack I had, had a piece of game fence or chicken wire in plac...

Can you post pictures of what you have? Mainly front of your bed showing the stake pockets, stakes you have and length(height) of them. Ford wasnt the only one making stake racks at that time so you may have some parts from whositswhatsits. do you have the ford blueprint spec wood boards under the ...
