The Ford Barn - View Single Post - A mix of Lockheed and Bendix brakes?? 1951 f3

I believe that in 51 the e brake moved from the lever on the cowl to old school on the side of the trans. Probably let Ford standardize the 4 speed trans on F-2 to F-6 except for the mount which changes height depending on F-2/F-3 and F-4 to F-6.

I also wonder if during the production year Ford moved to Bendix as running change. I want to say I have "heard" mid-year but I have no papers to prove that.
