![]() ![]() In 1959 I was 9 or 10 and I went to the ford dealership in northern california with my father and we picked this one out brand new. Im just beginning to get my 60 F100 back on the road,however it looks similar to yours when you first got it. There are a lot of smaller jobs that were involved as well: installing a new gas tank, making new motor mounts, new radiator, etc. The most time consuming part of that being bleeding the system of air. The brake lines were all rusted through, cracked wheel cylinders, worn drums and shoes, I had to replace all parts of the brake system. The brakes on the truck are hydraulic drum brakes on all four wheels. I put factory air shocks in the rear and hydraulic/ spring shocks in the front. When I bought the truck, all four leaf springs were in tact, but the shocks were shot. I was able to clean and rebuild it in a few days. The transmission is a "three on the tree" three speed manual transmission. I put a new glass bowl 1904 Holley carburetor on it, because the one that I rebuilt had small interior cracks that prevented proper fuel flow. With the right parts and tools, reassembly of the engine went relatively smoothly. To compensate, I installed larger pistons. 0060 of an inch larger than the original. Because of the extreme wear on the cylinder walls, the engine had to be bored. I disassembled the motor that I purchased and took it to the machine shop to be bored and cleaned. I decided to go with the inline 6 motor to keep the truck as original as possible. I bought an engine block from another truck, and bought a rebuild kit for the 223 inline 6 engine. While the truck was being sand blasted, I began to work on rebuilding the engine and transmission. The initial diagnosis revealed major problems, but got me well on my way. I realized that there was a serious issue with the engine when I started finding coolant in the engine oil (an indicator that there is a crack in the engine in the water jacket that surrounds the cylinder, usually caused by freezing water.) The brakes and clutch were inoperable, the wiring harness had been mostly chewed through, and the transmission had broken gears. ![]() I got the truck to run for a few moments at a time, which was enough to do some assessments. I also had to wire up a starter switch to use until I could re-wire the whole truck. rebuilt the carburetor - oil change and filter - new spark plugs/ ignition coil/ points/ distributor cap -fill radiator fluid To get it to start I had to pour gas directly into the top of the carburetor (something I strongly advise against due to safety concerns). Here is a short list of what I did to get it ready to run for the first time in over 20 years. After looking at the essentials, I didn't see a reason why it shouldn't be able to to run. The truck was rough and overall beaten up, but it had not been touched, and was complete.
