  10. TWIST, This is my kinda Build I have one of these started and never finished it. But now you just re kindled my spirit for this. Attached are a few pictures of my cab. I am not a scholar when it comes to FORD but it is my MY # 1 Favorite Truck brand and Model Choice. Looking through all my Ford reference material I can not find anything indicating the 317 was available in 1953, I do find where the 317 was offered in 1954. I think the engine in the Ford C-cab will work and would not be considered unreasonable for your truck. However, 1953 offered many different wheel and tire options for this truck- 22 x 7.5 inch wheels cast spoke or disc-- 20 x 7.5 inch rims and a two speed rear axle 10,000 pound max capacity, air brakes, overdrive tranny Hey, Its a model so I dont like getting caught up in the details, I generally build to what I think looks good. but I do appreciate and respect your desire to be period correct. I dabble in resin casting tires and wheels and have a few on ebay now. My new wheel mastered for this truck is a period correct five bolt 10:00 20 soon to be cast in resin. I have a 64 Ford F750 started ( resin ) and a 60 Ford 1/2 tow truck that I need to finish before I can get back to this one- What type of body will you be putting on this truck? I am not sure yet what to do with mine It looks great- cant wait to see it finished Craig
  11. I could really enjoy getting my hands on one of those loaders AWESOME~~

  13. Not one to cause a stir, I did as I was asked without question, But not without looking at the way others were signing thier posts. I did see that others are using thier proper name in thier postings I trust all is well at this point
