All loaded and headed to the media blaster tomorrow before Tuesday Snow I went to the tractor and lowered the three point hitch and up came the rear of the frame. I took off the u bolts ( which I had already loosened) and then the shackle bolts. I trigged the wheels, secured the frame to the front trailer frame (just in case) I lowered the frame front with the jack onto the trailer deck. I pulled the frame foward on the trailer using the hydraulic jack (which is on wheel) until the tires on rear axle bumped against the trailer frame. ![]() I trigged the rear wheels and backed my 20’ flatbed trailer under theįront 6’ of the frame and brought my hydraulic jack up on the trailer and tilted the trailer up as high as I could ( trailer was on a ball mount on my John Deere tractor and attached to rear three point hitch). I had put the front of the frame up on stands about 6’ back from the front of the frame and totally removed all the front suspension, steering assemblies,and wheels. The right front leaf spring bolt that goes through the frame was the only bolt on the entire car that needed a little “thumping” to free up. All together it’s been in dry storage for 45 years! I now realized what my Uncle Ike meant when he said someday I’d be glad to own a California car My car has lived in Southern California until 1995 when my wife and I and my sons bought it to Southern Maine. I was able to easily lift the body off the chassis. Thanks to fordrodsteven for sharing photos and detailed dimensions of his cockpit brace. The body shop that’s getting all the historic secrets of my beautiful bird taken care of and painting my 55. I hoisted the body off the chassis a week ago I was successful in getting the leaf springs and all mounting hardware off. Last time I put mine back together I applied a little anti seize on the bolts going through the frame sleeves. I saw one guy had to work at it for almost a week before he got the front bolts out. Continue with penetrant and when you tire from working on it you should let it sit and soak overnight. You may not be successful getting the front bolts out at first. Remember to be sure to soak the bolts with penetrant! Then I woud go to the back and undo the shackles. U bolts and anything else that be attaching the springs to the axle). I would unbolt the items at the axle first (shocks. The bolt at the front go through a sleeve in the frame and I have always found them pretty well rusted in place. I would also start right away with spraying penetrant on the bolts (especially at the front). Are you taking the rear end out also? Either way you need to start out as Tater salad said and get it all up in the air and supported properly. ![]()
