PREFACE
This manual combines under one cover complete service information for the 1949-50-51 Ford
Trucks. All aspects of the servicing of the
parts, assemblies, or systems involved will be
found here. Repair men will find step by step
procedures plus disassembled views of all of the
assemblies used in these models. The diagnostician will find that working procedures for each
kind of trouble he will encounter are covered.
Maintenance and lubrication data is provided
for those interested in this aspect of service.
Service Managers and salesmen will find hints
of everyday care that they can pass on to their
customers. Collision men will find construction
detail well illustrated to assist them in collision
work. Electrical men will find simply written
principles, not only of operation, but of testing
as well for each of the electrical units or systems.
Upholstery men will find how-to-do-it procedures
for their work.
Step-by-step procedures for the disassembly,
inspection, and repair are presented throughout
this manual. In addition, each assembly has been
illustrated disassembled, with each of the component parts arranged in the order of assembly
or disassembly. In many cases, a glance at these
illustrations will tell you all you need to know
about how the parts go together. These illustrations carry basic part numbers for each of the
parts. These basic numbers plus the model number of the truck will permit you to order parts
from any Ford dealer even though you may not
have a "Parts Book."
In recognition of the specialization that is currently practiced in many service establishments,
this manual has been divided into five major
divisions. These five parts are as follows:
Part ONE-POWER PLANT -has to do with
the Ford engines and the various systems that
are necessary to their operation. These include
fuel system, ignition system, and the cooling
system.
Part TWO-CHASSIS-starting with the
clutch, covers the entire power train (clutch,
transmission, drive line, rear axles, etc.) and the
running gear (wheels, tires, brakes, springs, suspension, frames, steering gear, and linkages, etc.).
Part THREE-ELECTRICAr.~ AND ACCESSORIES-covers all of the electrical systems
and units (other than ignition which is covered
in Part ONE) and accessories for Ford Truck
models.
Part FOUR-BODIE.$-contains complete information on the maintenance and repair of all
body components, including adjustment and
alignment not only of the body proper, but also
of doors, hoods, fenders, and shields.
Part FIVE-MAINTENANCE, TROUBLE
SHOOTING, AND SPECIFICATIONS-has
been arranged in the back of the book separately
for the convenience of quick service men. In
this part, all of the information ordinarily required for quick service men and service salesmen has been combined into three separate
chapters.
The Table of Contents on the next page shows
not only the part break-down as described above,
but also the chapters that have been established
in each of the five parts. Each chapter has been
divided into sections which also are listed in
the Table of Contents. Regardless of the aspect
of service in which you are interested or the
unit of the vehicle in which you may be specializing, a glance at the Table of Contents will
quickly direct you to the portion of this manual
in which you are interested. If you are interested
in maintenance procedures, trouble shooting, or
specifications, the information you desire will be
found in Part FIVE. Otherwise, it will fall in
one of the four other parts. A quick glance at
the chapter and section listings under the part
involved will direct you to the page desired.
Throughout this manual the top of each lefthand, even-numbered page gives the name of the
chapter; and the top of each right-hand, oddnumbered page gives the name of the section
involved. Thus, regardless of where you open the
manual, a glance at the top of the two pages
will tell you exactly what subject matter is discussed at that point.
No one expects even the most experienced
mechanic to remember all details of servicing
these trucks and you will find that you will
have to occasionally refer to this manual. Keep
your manual where it will be readily available
for reference at all times.

2. VALVES, SPRINGS, GUIDES, AND VALVE SEAT INSERTS
Removal and disasse mbly procedures for valves and
guides in a specific engine are covered in the chapter
on that particular engine. Cleaning, testing, inspection,
and repair operations common to all valves, guides, a nd
seats, are given in this section under headings which
are descriptive of the parts cove red.
a. Valves, Springs, and Valve Guides.
The procedure given below constitutes the essential
steps for a valve grinding operation when the valves
have been removed from the engine. This procedure in·
eludes cleaning, inspection, spring testing, and refacing
valves and valve seats. Valve clearances are set at the
time of valve installation and are discussed for each
engine in the chapter on that particular engine.
Valve operation is dependent on the clearance be·
tween the valve stem and valve guide. Excessive clearance or bellmouthed valve guide ends cause noisy valve
operation. Insufficient clearance may cause the valve
to stick open resulting in rough engine operation and
valve failure.
with lacquer thinner. On rotating type valves clean
the valve caps thoroughly.
NOTE : Foreign particle. between Ihe valve "em
and cap may prevent the valve from rotating and
caU8e the valve to fail.
(2) INSPECTION. Check the valves for burned ar
warped heads. Measure the stem diameter and replace
the valve if the diameter is less than 0.341 inch. Measure the valve guide inside diameter to determine ,valve
to guide clearance. Figure 7 illustrates the method of
measuring the valve guidE:. with the telescope gauge and
micrometer. Replace the guide if the clearance is
greater than the tolerance shown in Table 2 for each
engine. Tight guides can be relieved by burnishing (fig.
8). Replace the guide if either end is bellmouthed.
Replace warped, burned, pitted, or worn valves.
(3) SPRING TESTING. Test the Valve Springs
( fig. 9) for compression. Replace springs if they are not
within the limits given in Table 3.
(1) CLEANING. Wash all parts of the valve assembly in solvent. Scrape carbon and lead deposits from
head and stem of valve. Remove varnish from the stem

(4) REFACING VALVES. Remove all carbon from
the valve head and stem. Grind the face of the valve
at 45 0 angle as shown in fig. 10. If the valve head is
less than '132 inch thick at the outer edge replace the
valve.
(5) REFACING
VALVE
SEATS.
Clean seats
thoroughly with a wire brush to prevent carbon from
becoming embedded in the grinding wheel during the
refacing operation. Keep grinding dust from entering
the engine. R emove only enough stock to clean up pits
and other depressions.
NOTE: Worn valve guides nlust be replaced be/ore
re/acing val've seats.
After regrinding the valve seats, the width of the
seat must not exceed V16 inch measured across the face
of the seat as shown in fig. 11.
Tf the valve seat is too wide, remove just enough stock
from the top or bottom of the va lve seat to reduce the
width to approximately %6 inch. This can be done by
using a 30 degree angle grinder to remove stock from
the bottom of the valve seat, a nd a 60 degree angle
grinder to remove stock from the top of the valve seat.
The valve seat should not exceed 0.005 inch run out.
Check the valve seat run out with a dia l indicator (fig.
12). Lap the seat a nd valve together with a fine lapping compound to finish the operation.

b. Valve Seat Inserts.
Some R series engines are equippe d with valve seat
inserts for both intake and exhaust valves, others use
inserts in the exhaust val ve ports only, and some have
no inserts at all. The H , M, and E se ries engines have
inserts in the exhaust valve port only.
Valve seat inserts are pressed into the counter bore
in the cylinder block valve port (fig. 13).
(1) REMOVAL. Remove the insert by driving a
we dge under the insert and prying it out.
(2) INSTALLATIUN. Chill the inserts with dry ice
be fore inserting them in the cylinder block. Tap them
with a soft faced hamme r until they seat firmly in the
recess. After installing the valve seat inserts, grind them
concentric to the valve guides.

3. CRANKSHAIT, BEARINGS, AND PISTON ASSEMRLlES
The crankshaft is supported in three main bearings
in the 8-cylinder engines a nd four main bearings in the
6-cylinder engines. The center bearings are placed so
that two crankshaft throws are located between any two
main bearings. This a rra ngem ent provides a rigid support for the crankshaft and a llows the bearing load to
be distributed.
a. Camshaft.
The cra nkshaft is made o f cast a lloy steel with
integral counterweights and is dynamically a nd statically bala nced. Oil di strib ution h oles are drilled through
the shaft for main bearing and connec ti ng rod lub rication. F igure 14 shows these oil passages in a cutaway
view of the R series engine cranksh a ft.
( 1) CLEANING AND INSPECTION. W ash the
crankshaft in solvent. Blowout the oil passages with
compressed air. R emove the sludge trap plugs and clean
out t he traps. Press in new plugs. Examine the shaft
for evidence of crac ks. Check t he dowel pins in the
fl ange for looseness. Remove any nicks on the ends of
the pins with a file.
CAUTION: Do n ot file th.e body diameter of th.e
dowel pins.
(2) CRANKSHAFT
JOURNAL
MEASURE·
MENT. M easure each crankshaft journal diameter at
a minimum of four places to determi ne the size, whether
or not it is out of round, and whether or not it h as
taper. If any of the journals are out of round more t h a n
0.0015 inch or if tape r of more tha n 0.001 in ch exists,
they sho uld be machined. J ournals that are worn evenly
and have less than 0.001 inch taper or a 0.0015 inch
out · of round condition will not require machining if
the availa ble b eari ngs wi ll provide not more than 0.002
inch clearance for the main bearing, or not more than
0.003 inch clearance for the crankpin b earings.

indicates high spots on the bearing journal which should
be corrected before the engine is rebuilt.

NOTE: Keep the other bearing caps tight while
checking the /it of a bearing.
Place a piece of Plastigage the full width of the bearing on the bearing insert. Install the bearing cap and
torque the retaining bolts. Leave the cap tight for
approximately one minute and then remove it.
CAUTION: Do not turn the crank.haft while the
Plastil/age is between the bearing and the crank. haft
jou.rnal.
Remuve the bearing cap. Without moving the plastic,
check its width (at the widest point) with the graduations on the Plastigage container as shown in fig. 21.
If the bearing clearance is not over 0.002 inch, the
bearing insert is satisfactory. If the clearance is greater
than 0.002 inch, install another standard bearing with
thicker wall or a 0.002 inch undersi ze bearing and recheck the clearance.
NOTE: In the later model "E" series engines, use
the selective fit series of standard bearings 10 oblain
correct .:learance.
When the 0.002 inch undersize bearing is used and
the clearance is excessive, grind the crankshaft main
bearing journals for use with the next undersize bearing insert.
(2) FITTING
MAIN BEARINGS (SHIM
METHOD). Place a 0.002 inch brass shim '/2 inch wide
by 1 inch long between the bearing insert in the cap
and the crankshaft journal. Coat the shim lightly with
engine oil. Tighten the main bearing cap bolts. Turn
the crankshaft one inch in either direction. If the crankshaft is . locked with the 0.002 inch shim, and is free
without the shim, the bearing insert used is satisfactory.
If the crankshaft can be moved freely with the 0.002
inch shim, install another standard bearing with thicker
wall or a 0.002 inch undersize bearing insert and repeat
the above check. If the crankshaft still turns ,aslly,
excessive clearance is indicated and the crankshaft
should be reground to the next undersize bearing insert size.
NOTE: Rotate the crankshaft to be sure thaI the
bearing i, not too tight.
(3) FITTING CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS
(PLASTIGAGE METHOD). Place a piece of Plastigage plastic the length of the cap in the bearing cap.
Install and tighten the cap.
NOTE: Do not turn the crank.halt with the Pla.ti·
gage in place.
Remove the bearing cap and use the Plastigage scale
to measure the width of the Hattened piece of plastic
at the widest point. If the reading is not over 0.003
inch, standard size connecting rod bearings should be
used; if it is over 0.003 inch, install a 0.002 inch undersize bearing and recheck the clearance. When use of
the 0.002 inch undersize bearing results in excessive
clearance, grind the crankshaft and install undersize
bearing inserts.

standard insert and install the cap. Tighten the nuts.
Attempt to move the connecting rod endwise on the
crank pin by hand and then by a light tap of a hammer.
Remove the shim and repeat the above test. If connecting rod did not move by hand, but moved by tap
of hammer in the previous test and moved freely with
shim removed, the standard bearing as installed should
be used. If rod could be moved by hand when used
with the shim, install the 0.002 inch undersize bearing
and repeat the above test.
After determining that the correct bearing insert has
been fitted, tighten connecting rod bearing cap nuts.
Then rotate the shaft to be sure the bearing is not too
tight.

a. Pistons and Rings.
Pistons and rings seal the combustion gases from the
crankcase and control the amount of oil left on the
cylinder wall for lubrication. Worn or improperly in~
stalled rings will cause engine oil contamination, excessive oil consumption, fouled spark plugs, and poor
engine performance.
Three types of piston rings sets are used in servicing
Ford engines. They are: a "snap" type or standard ring
set; an dexpander" type ring set; and a "steel section"
type ring set. Figure 23 shows the various compression
and oil control rings included in these ring sets.
The standard or snap type ring is designed for use in
a new engine block or whenever a block is reba red and
new pistons installed. Under these conditions the block
would neither be out-of-round nor have a taper. A light
honing with a No. 280 grit hone is recommended in
either case.
Under a tapered condition the standard type oil
rings are not flexible enough to provide sufficient wiping
action on the cylinder wall. Oil is then allowed past
the rings and oil consumption increases. To remedy
this situation the expander type ring is used in cylinder
bores where the taper does not exceed 0.006 inch or
whenever an oil consumption condition is encountered.
Ring pressure is maintained by an expander under the
oil ring. Hone the cylinder bores before installing the
expander type ring.
When the cylinder bore taper is greater than 0.006
inch but less than 0.015 inch, the expander type ring
is not adequate to seal the combustion chamber from
the crankcase. Under this condition the steel section
type ring is used. The oil ring is installed with a steel
ring on both top and bottom in addition to the expander
under the ring. Honing is not necessary when the steel
section type ring. is used.
(1) CLEANING AND INSPECTION. Remove all
carbon from the piston with a scraper or carbon brush.
Clean the piston ring grooves with a ring groove
cleaner (fig. 24). Clean the carbon from the oil return
holes in the oil ring grooves by running a drill through
the holes. Be sure the drill is the same size as the hole.
Inspect pistons for fractures at the ring lands, skirt,
and pin bosses. Replace pistons showing signs of wavy
ring lands, fractures, or damage from detonation.
Spongy eroded areas around the top edge of the piston,
usually on the side opposite the valves, are caused by
detonation. In some instances holes are also burned
through the top of the piston.
(2) INSPECT CYLINDER BLOCK. Make a thor-
ough cheek for cracks. Minute cracks can be located
simply and quickly with the following procedure: Coot
the cylinder wall with a mixture of 25 percent kerosene
and 75 percent light engine oil. Wipe the wall dry, then
apply a light coat of zinc oxide powder dissolved in
wood alcohol. The cracks will show as discolored lines
on the zinc oxide coating.
Inspect the cylinder bore for scratches or scuffing.
Check for bulging at the top of the cylinder bore. Replace any leaking expansion plugs (indicated by rust
around the plug). Use a sealing compound under the
new plug.
Check tbe cylinder bore using a telescope gauge and
outside micrometers, cylinder gauge, or inside micrometers. Measure and record as "A," "B," "C," and "0 "
the dimensions shown in fig. 25.
Compare "A" with liB" and "C" with "0 " to determine
the amount of taper in the bore. If the taper is greater
than 0.015 inch, the cylinder must be rebored.
Compare IIA" with "C" and ''H'' with "0" to determine how much the cylinder is out of round. If the bore
is more than 0.003 inch out of round it must be rebored.
(3) BORING CYLINDER BLOCK. To assure
maximum performance and balance of the reciprocating
parts of the engine, all cylinders must be bored to the
same size even though only one cylinder requires reboring and the others are within tolerance. Manufacturers recommendations on how to use boring equip.
ment should be followed and the work performed only
by experienced personnel.
Bore the most badly worn cylinder first to determine
the proper oversize. If the cylinders will not clean up
at 0.060 inch oversize, the block must be replaced.
When reboring the cylinders allow 0.0015 inch stock
for honing when fitting pistons. Use a number 220 to
280 grit hone for this operation.
CAUTION: Thoroughly clean the block to remove
all particle. of abra.ive after the honing operation.

(4) FITTING PISTONS. Proper assembly tolerances of pistons are required if sa tisfactory engine
operation is to be obtained. Cylinder bores must be
checked for taper and out-of-round condition before
fitting a piston.
To install a piston with ne w rings in a used bore,
the high polish on the cylinder bore must be removed
to allow the new rings to seat without scuffing. This is
done by running a hone through the cylinder bore.
Clean the cylinder thoroughly to remove the hone dust.
To fit a new piston in a new bore, aUaen a tension
scale to the end of a feeler ribbon 1/2 inch wide and
having the correct feeler ribbon thickness as given in
Table 6. Position the feeler ribbon on the thrust side
of the cylinder (right-hand side of cylinder bore as
viewed from the driver's seat). Invert the piston,

BBA
then push the piston into the cylinder bore until the
skirL is about '/2 inch below the top of the block. Keep
the piston pin bore parallel with the camshaft. Pull out
the feeler gauge and at the same time note the reading (fig. 26).
The pull limits for new pistons and used pistons in
new or used bores is given in Table 6.
(5) FITTING PISTON RINGS. Insert the ring in
the cylinder bore. Invert a piston and use it to push
the ring about half way down into the bore. This will
also square the ring with the bore. Measure the ring
gap. It should be 0.007 to 0.047 inch in a worn cylinder.
If the gap is smaller than 0.007 inch, file the ends of
the ring until the correct clearance is obtained.
If the ring gap exceeds 0.047 inch install the next
oversize ring. Be sure to identify the rings so they will
be installed in the same cylinder in which they were
fitted.
Check the ring groove clearance on the proper piston
for the cylinder as shown in fig. 27.
The rings should have the clearance shown in Table
7.

able clearance, place a piece of emery cloth on a fiat
surface and rub the ring on the emery cloth in a circular
motion. Rotate the ring while rubbing to maintain uniform ring thickness.
If several rings are found to have greater than the
mllximum allowable clearance, the piston should be
replaced.
NOTE: When the steel section OHA ring sets are not
available for H &eries engines, the steel section 7HA
ring. may be used on the OHA piston by installing
the oil ring expander in the third groove rath e r than
in the fourth groor;e as specified on the THA pistons.
h. Piston Pins.
Ford engines use hollow piston pins held in the
piston by wire retainers at both ends of the pin. Piston
pins are available in 0.001 and 0.002 inch oversizes
for use when a standard pin fits too loosely.
(70 ' F.). Table 8 gives the proper piston pin fit for each
engine.
If oversize piston pins are used, or if the piston pins
are too tight, use an expansion type piston pin reamer.
Place the reamer in a vise and revolve the piston
around the reamer (fig. 28) .
Set the reamer to the size of the piston pin bore,
then expand the reamer slightly and trial ream the
bore '/8 inch deep in the piston. Use a pilot sleeve of
the nearest size to maintain alignment of the piston pin
bores.
Check the reamed hole size using a new piston pin
as a gauge. If the bore is too small, finish reaming the
hole, then turn the piston around and ream the other
hole.
Expand the reamer slightly and make another trial
cut, then repeat the procedure outlined until the desired
pin fit is obtained.
Table 8-Piston Pin Fit Specincations

5. FLYWHEEL REPAIR
Flywheel repair consists of refacing the clutch fri ction surface or replacing the starter ring gear.
a. Inspection.
Flywheels that have a burned or scored friction face
surface should be replaced or machined. Check the
flywheel runout by positioning a dial indicator on the
outer edge of the surface contacted by the clutch plate
(fig. 31) .
If the runout exceeds 0.005 inch total indi~ator reading, remove the flywheel and turn it 180 0 , then replace
it and again check the runout. If the runout is still in
excess of 0.005 inch, machine or replace the flywheel.
Fig. 29-Reaming Connecting Rod Bushing
h. Refacing.
If it is necessary to remove more than 0.045 inch
from the original thickness of the flywheel to obtain
a smooth surface, it should be replaced.
c. Ring Gear Replacement.
To replace a ring gear, drill a 1 %2 inch hole nearly
through the ring gear on the engine side of the gear,
a nd cut the re maining portion with a chisel. Heat the
new ring evenly to 360 °F., and place it in position on
the flywhee l and allow it to cool. Check the ring gear
runout. The runout must not exceed 0.010 inch.
