Every time I try to e-mail you my message comes back as undeliverable. If you could e-mail me some pictures I would appreciate it.

At the very least it needs a rebuild, but the rebuild prices around here are pretty close to the price of a new Edelbrock carb. Does anyone have experience with the Edelbrock as opposed to the Holley 4-barrel? I really don't need a carb designed for EGR or with purge ports, either, as far as that goes, so maybe replace? ------------------------------ From: Ray or Fran Bell Subject: Washington Post Features the F-1 Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2000 17:30:33 -0500 The Sunday Feb 13 "The Wheels of Time" section features "1948 Ford F-1 Half-Ton Pickup Truck." The article: "The 1948 pickup represented Ford's truly new postwar design, shared by all Ford trucks, from the basic F-1 pickup to the three ton F-8. The cab was taller, wider, and longer compared with the previous year's models. the design featured the return of the one-piece windshield and included vent windows as well as a larger back window. headlights were recessed into the grill area, the spare tire was placed underneath the truck bed, and the hubcaps were taken from the 1947 Ford cars. The truck came in five colors: vermillion, medium-luster black, meadow green, birch gray, and chrome yellow, all with black wheels and running boards. Most 1948 models had a chrome grill, although the truck returned to painted grills in later years. Ford advertised its new truck line as "bonus built" trucks that would last 19.6 percent longer than its competitors. Ford sold more trucks in the 1948 model year than it did in any year since 1929, when the great Depression began, but the boost in sales still left sales behind [Ch ** let] which also offered a brand-new postwar design." "The Specs: Price ... $1212; Engine ... 226.4 cubic inch L-head six cylinder; Horsepower ... 95 at 3300 RPM; Wheelbase ... 114 inches; Overall Length ... 188.78 inches; Seating capacity ... 3" "Historical Facts: Year ... 1948; President ... Harry S. Truman; Median family income ... $3,187; Dow Jones industrial average ... 177.3; Academy Award movie ... "Hamlet;" Milestone ... Bell Telephone develops the transistor." Neat huh? RAY '50 F-1 (Jeeze, to think I've multiplied the price by a bunch, tripled the horsepower, nearly spent the median income in my last Sac Ford order, and it still only seats three (skinny good friends).) (I'll have the article with me at P-F.) ------------------------------ From: TNickolson aol.com Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2000 18:08:13 EST Subject: Re: Washington Post Features the F-1 Seats Three!!!! You guys aren't even adult size. Third person in my 52 rides in the bed. Great historical facts. Is any one going to the Good Guys in Orlando, Fl. next month? Tom Nickolson The General ------------------------------ From: "Howard H. Tarnoff" Subject: Re: Need new carb Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2000 19:18:22 -0500 Ken, I have had two carbs rebuilt due to the desire to keep everything "pure stock". It is a toss up. Some shops do a better job then others, but if you are going to have it redone there are a few things to think about. Are you going to show? Then you want show plating. If this is going to be a pure driver I would go with a new carb. If you will be doing shows, look up Pony Carburetor in Hemmings. They do an outstanding job. -----Original Message----- From: Ken Toop To: pre61-list ford-trucks.com Date: Sunday, February 13, 2000 8:14 PM Subject: [pre61-list] Need new carb >It's time to do something about the Holley 4180 on my 5.0.

I'm new at posting to this list, but I read it everyday. You guys are very informative. My question is: What rearend can I swap into my 55 F250, without changing spring mounts, shock mounts etc.. The darned thing runs pretty good, but it's so low geared, it jars your teeth at about 45 mph! I want a simple swap if there is such a thing. Thanks!!
