I just got word that we have bought a new house. It is smaller than the one that we are in now but the garrage is 28x33' !!!!!!! We only have a 24x24 now. I'm very excited about this because we will have more room for our 52 and hopefully more trucks/cars in the future. I had to share that with people who would appriciate it. Thank you.

I have been told that the spark is negative charge no matter what. The spark is jumping to pos ground on a ford. If you turn the battery around you have changed the potential between spark and ground by twice the battery voltage. However when you are talking about 10,000 volts or more, 12 volts does not make much difference.-----If you reverse the battery, the field current to the generator will be reversed and the generator will repolarize itself and keep charging the battery as if nothing had happened. I have never seen a factory radio that would work under reversed polarity but someone said theirs did, I see no reason not to run negative ground if you want to. You do need to keep the primary coil polarity in agreement with whatever ground you use. On a Ford coil marked " bat "& "dist " you would need to hook it up backwards. If the coil is marked +& - just make it agree with the battery. By the way-----Ford & Chrysler had it right and GM was wrong!!! When they went to 12V they changed to make it uniform..........S Falkner ------------------------------ From: HDMel95 aol.com Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000 09:22:46 EDT Subject: Re: Aaron/out of office Does anyone know where Aaron is and what his cell phone number is??

My info for the trucks says that the 223 came out in '54 at 115 hp, reaching a high of 145 hp in the '58 Ranchero. Hope this helps.

If somebody did this on some of the other car list that I'm on, they would definitly be banned from using the list. This is just my opinion, but it's probably the same for everyone else on this list.

(48-52 Uppers) Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000 10:23:33 -0400 My dissapointment is going to be someone elses gain. I found a pair of NOS upper front fenders burried in a shed. I made a deal with the owner (who didn't know what they were for). The problem is this, they aren't for a 48,49,or 50 F-1. They are much larger and the opening in the front(where it connects to the lower section) is larger. These fenders have never been on a truck and I really thought I hit a homerun when I saw them for the first time. The only thing I know is that they are definately NOT for a 1950 F-1 (which is what I have). I have them and can take measurements if anyone can help me out. (I'm guessing maybe F-2 or F-3 or maybe even 51 to 52). Thanks Bill wlhale csrlink.net ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000 09:43:35 -0500 From: Doug Siedsma Subject: paint for '51 six banger Trying to restore to factory colors...Anybody know a source to find correct paint codes for various engine componets (starter, generator etc...) Or even if some of the pieces were even painted to start with. Any help would be appreciated.

(48-52 Uppers) Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000 17:57:16 -0000 Bill Is there any chance that your fenders might come from a F5 COE? Or are they too long. Jim ------------------------------ From: "B Hale" Subject: Re: Need Help ID'ing NOS Front Fenders?? (48-52 Uppers) Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000 21:19:15 -0400 Don't know too much(if anything) about COE. The fenders are at least as long as the fenders off my 50 F1 and wider most notably in the back where they connect to the front cowl panel meaning they most definately would stick out further than my F1. I'm trying to locate a digital camera so I can get some pictures on my computer (no luck finding one as of yet). Do you know of a good place on the web that might show me some pictures of fenders from this era? I might be able to at least narrow it down if I could see some pics. thanks, Bill. > Is there any chance that your fenders might come from a F5 COE?

Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2000 21:34:19 -0400 After looking at the pictorials on the ford-trucks website I believe the fenders to be something similar to the 49 F-5 Firetruck. Bear with me on this but here goes..the point at which the upper fender connects to the lower fender (you know, that little notch like thingy closest to the wheel) is shorter on the unkown fender than on the known 50 F1 fender. How many different sizes are there of these upper fenders? That may help narrow it even farther. Sorry about all this guys, but I'd like to ID these fenders before selling them, and I'm sure someone out there could use em!
