Re: Overdrive ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2000 09:19:01 -0500 From: rafael eduardo rodriguez Subject: only fordson pick-up fan in the world. Hello everyone: My name is Rafael and I writing from Cali Colombia. My problem is that I have 2 Fordson pick-ups for restauration but no one in this country knows any thing about this trucks. I'm searching since one year ago by internet for at least one picture but by now I`m loosing the impulse. The only thing that I founded is at the Ford history were they said that Fordson pick-up truck was built arround 1932 and 1934. This trucks doesn`t have any plate or tag, only one have registration and say Fordson 1951, I don`t know if this information is real. All bearigs, the brake and clutch pedals, the brake drums, the chasis and many other parts has engraved the Ford logo and some of theme made in Ingland. I hope you guys understand my poor english and some one find some thing that help me to rebuilt this beautys. You guys can write to me at aserquim telesat.com.co Thanks and God Bless you all. Rafael. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 01:13:23 -0500 From: D Mack Lewis Subject: Re: Overdrive I know the conversation has moved on but one question. The 46 has standard 3.78 and optional 4.11 gearing. How would one obtain 3:54 or 3.25? Hot rod supply, donor car,...?
