Hello all.

Hoping that this is the door that will fit my cab 12 can anyone let me know
Hoping that someone out there has another if this door is correct. Not much to report on the truck (as far as photos go) but in the background the cab is almost done as is the motor. Have got new bolts for the truck and they are black in colour may even decide not to paint them as i think they would look good against the portlandstone.

Default Cab 12 Door

I recently restored a passenger side door on my truck. If you go to the soft skin forum and search for the thread F60L recent pics you will see what I had to do.

A note -you can save the screws that hold the map pocket to the inside of the door, by heating them before removing them. I suggest you do this to save them you will not find replacements...

You will also discover restoring the door and lock are two separate projects as is fitting the door to the vehicle.

Default Ahah...

So that's what Hugh looks like when he's talking to me.

Has anyone else seen this brake hose setup on a Ford 3 toner? Usually the first hose goes to the diff, then there are pipes to each steering end then a hose to each wheel cylinder from there, making 3 in all for the front.

The two hose setup I have seen on the F15...

On Chevrolets it is more a case of early trucks went from the frame direct to the wheel cylinders and later was frame to differential and then out to the wheels. There was a Chevrolet Service Bulletin listing the process to convert from the early setup to the later one. I don't know if the same thing applied to Fords. I haven't seen original documentation of the reason for the change but believe it is to do with the original long hoses being more vulnerable to damage.
