- I started with a plan to gets the brakes in working order. After getting in a little ways, I found the issues ran a little deeper. This video covers the early progress associated with the brakes, suspension, and steering.
Up Next: Steering Gear Rebuild ( • 1949 Ford F-1 Revival ... )

Brilliant fixture btw
Yes this is a great project. I'm in suspense.... thank you for showing this.
You seem to be very creative when it comes to making things to help make your job easier, back in late '70-early '71 Dad was fixing up a '60 VW for my sister and had to drop the engine to do some repairs to it, he ended up making a thing from wood to raise the body in order to drop the engine out,a few years ago I bought a '71 International pickup that had been used by a fire department and someone managed to bust the pumpkin on the front axle and when I was replacing it I had to get creative to do that as I was working by myself as well but managed to get the job done, looking forward to more videos on your F-1😉
You have patience with this. I mentioned, in your previous video with the 53 F-100, that I sold my 53 panel delivery truck 2 years ago. The drum brakes worked pretty well but certainly not good for a panic stop! I used to take it loaded with flea market items over hill and dale up along the Delaware River. Each year it was the return trip that was tough, with more traffic on a Sunday afternoon and lots of stop lights. Even with a lesser load on return it was a little scary. Now the 66 F-100 pickup is a much nicer ride with the twin I beam front and new shocks, but I am looking over brake options. I may start with one like the Wilwood master cylinder and adjustable proportion valve, new lines, before replacing the front drums. I still have complete front axle with brakes and springs as well as rear axle and springs for the late 40's and early 50's F-100. Also a radiator, shroud for the flat 53 V-8 and some body parts, transmissions for pre 53 truck and first Fordomatic for cars, etc.
Nice work
It will be great to see how this progresses. There are still alot of these old trucks out there, its good to see them back on the road.
Just discovered your channel.. love this stuff.. with what I'm seeing, it looks as if you're going back pretty much stock.. As far as a penetrant , I couldn't tell what you're using but might I suggest a 50-50 mix of Acetone and Automatic Transmission fluid.. Works better than just about anything on the market... Maybe that and some heat might break it loose.. Well thx for taking us along for the ride..
I did manage to finally get the king pins out (that is another video on the channel). At this point I've pull most of the body panels off and started digging into the engine and related rotted wiring (editing that video now). I just finished rebuilding the carburetor today since the accelerator pump wasn't working. And yes, I plan on keeping this truck absolutely bone stock all the way down to its 6 volt positive ground electrical system.
You can try, heat and a rapid cool to get the king pin out before pressing.
I do not envy you on those kingpins. I put a dropped axle under mine and had to do the kingpins at the same time
Where are you ordering front end parts from
For the parts I am ordering new (more on that in the next video), I'm using Dennis Carpenter, LMC Truck, and Obsolete & Classic Auto Parts. The choice of supplier usually comes down to a combination of parts price and shipping cost. Whoever is the cheapest is who I will use.
Where is the new video?
I have it half created. I've had a few unexpected delays between parts availability, machining work around the holidays, and a family sick with COVID. Hopefully, I will have everything done by the end of the week. I'm really sorry it has taken longer than anyone wanted (especially me).
@@droppedwrenchgarage5422 no apologies needed. You seem an organised guy. I have seen enough junk thrown together. Looking forward to seeing someone doing it right.
These are the cars that everybody should be able to fix themselves. Current cars are stupid money pits.
We will see a return to these kind of cars I am sure.
Thanks. The most annoying and time consuming activity involved getting the new spindle bushings honed/reamed. The guy I've used in the past for that has stopped doing this sort of work which left me scrambling to find another machine shop. I found one about 40 miles away that charged a ridiculous $100. I could see that charge if they had to knock out the old bushings and put the new ones in before honing, but I had already taken care of that.
@@droppedwrenchgarage5422 if you have the space. The tools, presses and all that machinery is surprisingly affordable.
