Long Term 1960 Ford M151 Resto Project Pictorial History
Picked up what appears to be a 1960 Ford M151 from Chuck last night and made it back to airport to pick up the wife with 5 minutes to spare.
Will keep a picture log on this forum of the progress over the next year or two as I slowly restore this diamond in the ruff. I'll take a bunch of pictures this afternoon of how she arrived back at the house. Here are some initial pictures I took for someone this morning.

The early M151 transmissions had a tab that retains the yoke?
I would call that redundant.... if we had not just recently lost a yoke, during a test drive.

Now how would you have lost a yoke during a test drive when I know for a fact that I said something to you on a couple of occasions about that happening if you ran with no shaft?Stagg wrote:The early M151 transmissions had a tab that retains the yoke?

Facts like that just get in the way of driving it around the yard a little bit.
To be fair, we did find it.

I had my rebuilt motor on my Trl for a test run, didn't even think about the Tranny yoke till old stinking GO-90 went all over the place! After the clean up I put a big zip tie on it.

Of coarse you found it, all you had to do was follow the trail of gear oil to the yoke.Stagg wrote:Facts like that just get in the way of driving it around the yard a little bit.

Looks like one so far, correct hood rests, does it have the little vent directors as shown in previous pictures I've posted. Also, it should have two defroster holes on each side (see above pictures). I'm interested in it if it's for sale.
Thanks
Jason

More Pictures
Battery box bottom will need to be replaced (have one from Fil already )
Nice correct early bumper.
Nice and solid.
Needs a little, but unlike most, it's 90% there.
Nice solid frame rails and uncut
Worst Rust on the body, but only goes in about 1-2 inches
