F60L Cab 12 truck

[Shane]

Thanks Tony, still haven't made up my mind which way i will go but being able to put in more fuel filters sounds great. Have made the choice to turn her into a 12 volt rather than a 6 volt after talking to Colin Jones and lets face it he's been there and done it when it comes to flathead V8s and the positives out way the negative. Spent most of the today with Hugh Davis and my Dad putting the V8 back in, was easy work due to their help and the use of a forklift. In the last photo im missing the pin can anyone send me one so i can get on with the job it has a small hole at one end for a split pin to go through more than happy to pay just need asap. Thanks lads

Hi Shane

Try you local tractor supply or older tractor dealer. That's where I've found them in the past.

Cheers Phil

If you cannot buy a clevis pin for that , somebody with a lathe could make one in 5 minutes

Thanks Gentleman for you advice. I do have one of the biggest tractor dealers not 100 meters from where i work so will give them a go..but please have a look Keith if you dont mind. Also does anyone have the item number for the FORD badge to go on the dash of a cab 12 from Macs Auto? :salute

Shane,
I cannot find my parts book at the moment (Jo is away... I cannot find anything) but I think the part number is 91A-16606.
01A-16606-C is the correct size and shape, but has red edging.
Check those numbers in your parts book before ordering.
If I can find my book before hand I will let you know.
Cheers
H

Hello everyone! I don't want to hijack Shane's thread here but I'm re skinning his doors for him and making some hinges as well so I thought this would be the best place to show how I made them.
The hinges are probably quite hard to find but not too bad to make if you've got the tools. I had 2 pieces of 30mm blocks and milled a hole through the centre giving me 2 half round dies. The pin is 1/4" so I welded the pin to some plate to use as the former in the press.

I used the other part of the block to press down the rest of the hinge. I did all the pressings first then into the milling machine to cut the slots then a couple of bends, insert the pin, bit of a grind and that's it.
