Mines still 6v, has one of those small optima batteries on it, need to put it in an old looking box!
What’s that, an air con unit? What about the blue light?
My car is mostly original(I’m told it won some “rouge awards”-is that a usa thing?) I always have a dilemma about changing much on it That dash...
Yes, some great looking cars there This pic got me thinking, my dash is the same colour as the roof on this one and also been considering fender...
How much for a replacement set? I’m in the uk so postage will be an issue!
Thinking of getting some different hubcaps, any suggestions please Ian
Will a 6.50x16 tyre be ok on a 6 1/2" rim? The original rims are 4 1/2" and look skinny in the arches of the truck Ian
My 44

So,is it the same book but with the mistakes corrected?
I see there is a "revised edition" of this book, is that the one to get? Thanks Ian

Yes, top man!
What year truck is that on? Blocks wouldn't work on mine Ian
Wondered if I should have used a 4" drop but then I would still need to remove leaves to soften it. Would be interested on pics with that...
Front suspension is very firm, make that very very firm!! I have only removed the shortest leaf, should I put that back and remove a longer one?...
Thanks for nice comments No, mine was very high just meant that's what stock should look like. Doesn't look really low Bet that last one sits on...
3" drop front axle and just one of the short leaves removed Rear leaf mountings raised up 2" and four leaves removed To me it looks pretty stock...

Thanks for the offer. Yes I spotted the repo ones, need to check how that automatic badge is fixed to my car as I might be opening a can of worms...
Would my car have had that badge originally then, suppose it could have had the trunk(boot in the uk) lid replaced in the last 50 or so years! Ian
Fordmatic or fordomatic?
That's what I need then!
