But I remember them saying to use automotive paint and not spray cans. For a primer they used one of the high build polyester primers but this was so you could cover the sanding marks from repairing the cracks so any auto primer compatalble with your paint is probably good. Also for everybody info I was looking in one of my books and it list all the paint used from 40 to 66 by year. It doesn't list the paint number. But if you know what color your truck is at least you can get the ford name for it. It also list what color the wheels and bumper was. So if anyone wants to know their color name drop me a line on the list.

At my truck club meeting last night, one of the members said he is looking for a 1950 passenger car wheel, the four-spoke, (I think) limited edition one with a fancy "F" in the center. He is willing to pay $500. for a good one. If any of you can find one let me know. Thanks.

The unit is quiet and works fine. I am running a 400 w/4V Cleveland heads, cam, headers, CD ignition, and 750 CFM Carter carb. I also use a C6 w/ shift kit. My only complaint is that when I jump on it, the engine starts to build power. When it gets into its power range, >2500 RPM, the tires break loose. Since the rear is locked, both come loose and the truck tries to get sideways. I have to back off to get it straight again.

Thanks so much for all of the help nad if the guy that sent the diagram please get back with me and help me with the other attachment. -Chris 60 panel truck ------------------------------ From: gucci007 juno.com Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2000 23:13:11 -0700 Subject: Re: Steering wheel paint Bob, I have a '48 F-1 that looks like it was a dark green originally, but someone painted over it in that ever popular light mint green-almost white color. Actually it is starting to grow on me (this is Washington, things do that up here...). Can you tell me what colors the '48 F-1s came in and what that whitish green color is called? Thanks.
