Last action Hero has a beautiful red 56 that gets wrecked. In the beginning scenes of Twister there's a used car lot with a 56 on it. And in Sniper there's a 56 Truck on the enemy base. Hey my brother tells me that Timmy's Father on Lassie drove a 56 Ford? I only remember the one ton Chevy. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 01:00:09 -0800 (PST) From: Scott Subject: Re: Ford trucks in the movies That 56 in Last Action Hero was awesome!! I almost cried when they crashed it through the window or what ever it was. It didn't take the corners very well, lots of body roll, but still, I hope it was all fiberglass, things like that should be illeagal. I know it's off subject a little, but in the movie Vannishing Point, there is a guy driving a Charger or something and then they crash it at then end. Too bad that they don't know what these things are worth today! Just my 2 cents Scott --- MARK AMES > Since I seem to only have eyes for the 56's Here's my list of trucks > in the movies.

Once again, I'm asking that FTE list members trim replies. Not to single anyone out (because many people do it), but as an example: Pete had 3 list footers at the bottom of his posting and Mike's post had those 3, plus his message, plus his prior message all in ONE posting. It gets hard to read and in the long run inflates the digest size, which increases storage space on the server, which then increases archive search times (ie, its an inconvenience for everyone using the archives) and server bandwidth usage increases. Not only is this mail list Netiquette, it also lowers our costs. At our bandwidth levels there isn't any such thing as a $19/month all you can eat account. Our bandwidth fees alone are several hundred/month in addition to the server rental and maintenance fees. I'm not coming down on anyone, I just want those who aren't aware of it to know before it becomes too common. Ken Payne a.k.a.

Green or blue as I remember. Tim, I have that Classic Trucks issue. It was a motivation for me too. There was another '60, red, in either Classic Trucks or Custom Classic Trucks. I have both issues, but couldn't lay my hands on either quickly. That made two featured in four year's count. There were two or three teaser mini-photos, too, I guess, but I'm only counting features. I've dropped my subscriptions to both magazines. I'll come back when they wake up. It also annoys me how magazine articles underestimate the cost of a given featured project. Oh, well! That's a whole 'nother topic. ------------------------------ From: "Scott Wood" Subject: '52 4X4 Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2000 14:59:29 -0900 I have a '52 F3 with a Marmon-Herrington 4X4 conversion.

Don't feel so bad, though. If you watch carefully at the end, the car that actually crashes into the dozer is a white Camaro. No Challengers were injured.

Here goes.... I would like to know if anyone has installed a big block Chrysler, ie: 440, into thier '53-'56 F-100. If so, what must I watch out for during the installation? I plan on using the crosssmember from Gibbons Fiberglass which would utilize the front end components from a large Mopar. Any help would be beneficial. I am sure that I am not the only one out there that has contimplated doing a swap like this. Sean '55 F-100 ______________________________________________________ ....
