Steve, If your travels bring you to north central Arkansas, I have a couple of T9 4 speeds as well. Mark

Thanks! Tim

Here are some photos of the air intake. I still have to finish welding the flanges to the tube bolted to the inner fender. The tubing is 3" stainless steel mandrel bent exhaust pieces I ordered from Summit. I will weld a fitting into the 30 degree bend connected to the turbo and the silicone ell...

Now that I remembered how I posted my photos, here are some better ones of the oil cooler setup. Thanks, Mark

I finished up the oil cooler lines, the lower radiator air deflector, and mounted the horn today. I have been trying to get everything for he engine swap mounted where it needs to be so I can paint the engine, the inner fenders and all the small pieces. I think I am now ready to pull it back...

Here are some new photos:The first photo is the glow plug light, boost pressure and exhaust temp gauges that I mounted in the speaker grill. I will paint the aluminum gauge mount to match the speaker grill. The other three photos are different views of the engine shut off valve and switch...

Welcome to the forum. I've ordered parts for my '49 F4 from LMC, Mac's, Dennis Carpenter and Joblot. Prices will be similar with all of them, some like Joblot, carry parts that others don't have. I'm not sure about the brakes. A rear axle from a later Ford 3/4 ton truck would update your rear...

Thanks Tim for the reply. It was too cold to work outside on my son's Bronco Saturday so, I since my truck is in the shop I was able to work on the throttle linkage. I still have to pull the engine out and have the flywheel match balanced the Mercedes flywheel , clean the engine and install some...

I'm adding some photos of the throttle linkage and the battery tray. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] I could have probably simplified the throttle linkage but, I wanted to be able to shut the engine off under the hood if necessary. I made the battery tray from...

Thanks Tim. I suspected that it was an early '49, but I didn't know for sure. The F4 emblems on the side of the cowl are die cast like the '48s. Thanks again, Mark

I reassembled the transmission for the truck this week. I'm using a T98 Warner in place of the T9 that was in the truck. I don't mind double clutching, but I'm starting to have a little knee trouble as I get older. Since I had the T98 from a '48-'52 truck, I repaired the rear mount and installed...

My 1949 F4 has the following numbers stamped at the top of the firewall 2 KC 8 41 can you decipher them? There is also a stencil painted number on the flat center part of the firewall just below the holes for the accelerator linkage, 1 24 A. They were stenciled in very thick...

The front sway bar from a late 90s or a little later Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee might be about the right width.

Yes, Happy New Year to all!

I wanted to edit my last post after I posted it on the page, but I was unable to find the edit "button". After I reread the post I thought it sounded like I resented having to help my son with his Bronco and not being able to work on my truck. Maybe no one else read it that way, but I just...
