It's not a '48 engine, it's a '49-54 8BA and it does not have the integral bellhousing on the back of the block. You will need to find a cast steel bellhousing (the cast one fits an 11" clutch, the stamped steel will only clear a 9" clutch), and a pair of waterpumps from a '49-'53 pick-up which have the correct mounting feet for the earlier chassis (which I see you've already got). The Dizzy won't be a clearance issue.

I was wondering if this fuel filter is off this truck it came in the pile of spare parts.
Also wondering what runs along the back of the cab and into the hole in the cab?
Thanks Anthony

Yes that is the correct fuel filter for your truck. The bracket attaches to the gear box left hand side.

Anthony that filter looks like the original.... you will find filter guts, inside filter elements, gaskets,etc. from any of the Jeep dealers.... try Peter de Bella.

I ve taken the diff apart and it looks like I need to get the pinon out.
The pilot bearing on the end of the pinon took a hike some where along the way and is completely gone.
Does anybody know how to pull the two pinon races out of the housing.
Or a picture of the proper tool?
I havent tried anything yet.
Thanks Anthony.

Hi Anthony

Nice to see you restoring the F8

Re cargo box 1B1 for your F8, if you are interested I will donate the cargo box for your restoration, it is in very good condition with data plate and requires no repairs, can be installed as is or you could repaint if required.

I have finally finished the resortation on the C15A, but I am missing 2 peices of cab trim.
