1945 War Time Ford Pickup
Hi all,
I am new to this forum and I've been wanting to communicate with members but I need to have at least 10 posts for some and 20 post for others. I saw somethings I'm real interested in! I do need two rear end Spring Links with bolts, self locking nuts, bushings and rubber insulators. I've searched high and low. See the pictures. Will San Diego Ca. |

Hi Will, Welcome to the Barn! You've got a keeper there!
I prefer the nylon shackles from speedwaymotors.com By the way, thank you for your service! The last time I was there, that bridge behind you in the picture hadn't been built yet. USN ACB1 Coronado

Re: 1945 War Time Ford Pickup
The early 45 commercials have a different steering wheel and there may have been other material saving differences on those early post VE-day commercials. I still have an owners manual for them in my modest early Ford publication collection.

Re: 1945 War Time Ford Pickup
I got the front spring shackles for my 45 pretty easily. Maybe Ford Parts Obsolete, if I recall. The guy in Minnesota. I will need to check and see. I keep all my receipts. These should be the same for 42-47.

Re: 1945 War Time Ford Pickup
I got my front suspension parts from Southside Obsolete and C&G Early Ford Parts, from what I can see.

Re: 1945 War Time Ford Pickup
I'm jealous. You're starting with a much better and more complete truck than mine was. Looks like it is all there and in decent shape. Enjoy the restoration. Lots of work but lots of satisfaction when you're done.

Re: 1945 War Time Ford Pickup
I love the jailbars too. I think I have something like six or seven of them. All my other old fords got away from me. That looks like a real solid truck you have there. They are modern enough to drive as they are, but maybe not in San Diego. Enjoy the project and enjoy your retirement, and like others have said, thanks for your service!
