Ford F Marks

Post by Raflad » Mon Nov 20, 2017 8:57 am

Did Ford only use the "F" mark on GPW's or was it common practice on other vehicles they manufactured, military or civilian?

They used F script bolts on GTBs. Both mine have them. As far as F scripts on the parts, I have not seen any. However, I have not media blasted the body yet.

Thanks for the reply. I was just curious as to whether I could source bolts from other vehicles that Ford manufactured that had the F script.

Need to ask that question on the Model T and A forums.
Ok, I see it now; those are two separate forums; NOT one. If they exist that is.
