I may be going across state to pick up a '49 F-1 and it needs tires to tow it. I have a '60 F100 that I could take the front tires off to bring with me to swap with the '49 so that I can tow it. Am I within acceptable perameters? Fill me in! -- Tulio Solorzano '60 F-100 Custom Cab '79 HD Sportster ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2000 01:56:30 -0500 From: Ken Payne Subject: ADMIN: Message boards have been upgraded. The message board software has been upgraded. Check it out! It has many new features, including the ability to integrate with mailing lists, rating topics, email topics to a friend, sorting, printer friendly output and more. Once I figure out how to guard email addresses, the mailing lists will cross-post to the message boards and visa-versa. Azie will finally have access to the web site, though in an indirect way! Ken Payne Admin, Ford Truck Enthusiasts PS - I'm still working on web mail, I found a bug in the setup that will be addressed this weekend. ------------------------------ From: Ray or Fran Bell Subject: "Cool-Cap" Install Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2000 00:22:44 -0500 I'm putting my gas tank under the bed and want to use the "Cool-Cap." However, the cap "bung" is 1 1/2 " diameter. The tank "bung" is 2" dia. If that's not enough, I've got to make this "reduction" in about 4" of space between the bottom of the bed and the top of the tank. Anybody got any ideas? RAY ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2000 13:37:38 +0000 From: Fred Hooper Subject: Re: "Cool-Cap" Install Ray, I sawed off about half the bung from the cool cap, and used a rubber adapter-reducer found in the plumbing department of home depot.

Pictures would be great or a diagram that is more detailed then the one I have. Where can I find these? Many thanks. Nick ------------------------------ From: "Gary L. Perry" Subject: Re: Wireing 101 Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2000 23:10:08 -0500 NA; Wiring is real simple on these old Fords. If you still have old harness, remove it whole and carefully cut the cover and use new wires copied off the old harness. Put on same type connectors, use same or similar colors, do one at a time then, wire-tie several places or could rewrap with tape and re-install. There is a good wire diagram in early Ford truck shop manuals or the FTE site is supposed to have them on web, haven't looked myself. Check library for shop manual if you don't have or order from FTE site or Faxon Lit. or ...............
