    I don't know Bruce.
    I have never met the man.
    It seems that he knows everything there is to know about old fords though.
    The few dumb questions I have asked, have been professionally answered and correct!
    And with over 13, 600 posts, he is one dedicated HAMBER
    I just want to publicly say THANK YOU BRUCE!
    It is gentlemen like you that have kept this sport going strong for so many years.
    Thank You and God Bless

    Having befriended him in person, his brain is a virtual library of old Ford knowledge, and his garage matches! Imagine walking into a forcefield crammed with so much neat stuff you are neat silent not knowing what to ask about first!

    He's definitely an invaluable resource!
     
  19. Bruce, his throbbing brain and his (I'm assuming) personal MASSIVE library of automotive data are the common denominator in all of the searches I've done regarding early Ford parts. Even when he's answered the same question in 5 or 6 threads, it's courteous, well written, and thorough (as opposed to Thoreau, and I hold him in the same regard).

  25. Vast knowledge and never rude or degrading...yep I like Bruce too. He seems like one of the guys that has been there done that but without the attitude that some of the other wisemen around here possess.

    I also dont know Bruce personally,But that guy has one hell of a wealth of knowledge.

    Great guy and I always read all his posts and replies. As they are straight forward and no bull shit attached with actual facts and no fiction.

    He is the Hamb Historian with old Fords.
     
  29. Bruce has helped me repeatedly.

    I wish he would write a book or something. Can you imagine? A book covering the major components/systems/oddities from '32-'48.

    I'd buy 2.
