Shortening F15 hand brake cable.
Hi Tony,
Should add: Step 10: Pour yourself a good one and celebrate a job well done! Cheers,

Handbrakes
Thanks Jacques,
Glad to have it behind me quite frankly.  Interesting to note - the spring around the cable that is located in the drum, does not seem to have lost any significant tension. I also thought I might have taken a bit too much off. One line was at its maximum stretch when I put it back in. Fortunately when I sat the truck back down on all four tyres, some load came back onto the rear leaves and has provided JUST enough slack. It should improve again when the box is put on the back.

Update
Getting my backside "into gear". I decided to tackle the transmission.
Did not take any photos of the hours of removing sludge and crap from everything. Good news is everything cleaned up extremely well.

Top Gear
You have to keep reminding yourself this stuff is 80 years old.
I replaced all the bearings as they were a bit noisy, and the races and balls looked a bit worn. Putting it back together went smoothly. Rear mount must have been loose for a long time in its working life as the wear on the cross member and mount was horrendous.

Nice work you are doing Tony. Is that the correct rubber mount for a truck?

Transmission rebuild
Hi Tony,
I'll second Lynn's comment! Amazing what pictures reveal. I had a rear F15 transmission mount which I thought maybe had been broken and welded up about 2" above the base. Looking at yours I now think it was just a mould line as your looks identical at the same place. Just gave it away two days ago as not needed for my F15-A. The recipient was using it with a gear case I gave away with it for a man cave item anyway. The other interesting thing I noticed was the rear transmission mount gasket on my F15-A transmission was the same shape as the F15 one. See attached. It really is not required to be that complex shape on a F15-A as there is a large circular mating area at the transmission mount on them. I just cut my gasket out as a large circle to keep it simple. Guess Ford standardized on the more complex shaped one to cut down on parts inventory. Cheers,

This one?
Sure is chaps,
Goes under the chassis cross member and the two metal inserts go through to contact the rear mount on the back of the gear box. At least, they are the bits I pulled off this truck. Has any one seen a different arrangement? - pictures welcome. Keeping in mind this is an F15 not an F15A
