If you have the fat Blue 1957 Ford Car & Thunderbird Shop Manual Section 3-4 on Page 190 gives a comprehensive blow apart view of the clutch and linkage assembly and mounting hardware. Be glad to copy and fax it to you if you don't have the manual - but you really should get one if you are going into the car that deep. E-mail is

Also when I took my body off - I had no floors left at all - I kept the doors on and lashed them together so they would not pop open. Then I made a six point chain attachment two to the body bolts in trunk two to the body bolts at firewall and two to the bolts at the radiator front cross member. Lifted up w/ chain hoist and built wooden saftey stands. Then I could access the entire underside unobstructed and began to cut. I agree with Nomadbird Tom - make sure you have good rockers before you lift.
