Re: 77-6050A Truck Cylinder Heads
Tim - I only sure way I know is for the part number to be in raised letters on the head.
In later Ford parts books (1944, 1945 for example), only the 77-6050-A cast iron head is listed, so it...

Re: 36' Headlight Reflector Size

Re: Anyone have one they can measure?
I believe it also has a taper on the end that goes into the aluminum casting.
The longer length is for earlier valve covers which have the fuel pump stand boss cast about 1' taller than later...

Re: Stake bed gate hinges

Re: '41 PU Rear Window
No problem. I was just curious. On my sliding rear window the glass pains both slide inward, not outward. All that was needed was a clear opening, the same size and shape as the one-piece unit.

Re: '41 PU Rear Window
Is someone willing to show a few pictures of the metal that would need to be cut or trimmed? I'm only familiar with the 1935-39 rear window opening and it would be interesting to see the difference.

Many people buy a 1-1/2 ton truck and take the cab off for a project or for their pickup. The result is there are a lot of 1-1/2 ton truck frames languishing in back lots. If you look around, you...

Re: '41 PU Rear Window
I don't have the specifics for the 1941 back glass bugs but I can tell you that for 1935-1936 trucks, the Ford oval was 1" wide and 0.56" tall. The oval on the doors and windshield glass is 0.69" c...

Re: Puttin a key in the drivers door
I think the door latch mechanism needs some modification or the addition of a few parts so that when the shaft of your new door lock spins, it will flip the locking latch into position. Since the...
