What a great show, well run, awesome trucks, and real nice people. What a thrill to drive my truck in the parade, just got it done in time to take it to the show. I also liked meeting some of the people from FTE, Ken, Don, and Glenn, who went with me on the parade. Thanks again to Tammy (Glenn's wife) for helping me with my daughter, she is still talking about Jayna and Curtis. Looking forward to next year and being more involved with FTE through the year. PS thanks to Don for advice on my fan shroud, it fit well with a little trimming around lower rad. hose and removing fan spacer,think it cured my overheat problem too.

Claims only ones that have them. I have seen them in my "Auto/Truck Round-up" but don't have mag home with me now. I can get address if you can't find in mags in store.

It will be mildly souped and I'll have a C4 automatic and an 8" rearend (3.0:1) behind it. My original radiator is pretty well shot. When I took it to several places to see about getting it repaired, I got quotes between $350 and $400. I talked with the folks at U.S. Radiator in LA and they said they could provide me with one of their "Triple Flow" radiators for $330 including shipping. Does anyone have any experience with U.S. Radiator? Any thoughts, suggestions, or alternatives are welcome.

Related thought: Is there a website by Pat Ford which would have this info? Seems like he should be able to have one. Thanks, Paul ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 May 2000 20:04:05 -0700 (PDT) From: Robert Whitmore Subject: What vintage is it? I have been keeping an eye out for a newer Ford truck chasis to put my 48 F6 cab on. I found a really interesting truck while on a trip (500 miles from home). I believe the cab, chassis, and bed are from three different vintages of Ford trucks. The cab (and the title) are 1983. The bed is almost identical to the one I saw on an original 57, single wall sides and tailgate w/ externial fenders. The tailgate has cam latches on the top to hold it closed. The 57 has 'FORD' stamped in letters about 3" high, the bed in question has letters about 6" high. My guess is the bed is bed is very late 50's or early 60's. The engine is an in line 6, but doesn't look like the 300CID I would have expected for an 83. It looks shorter than the 300 and the valve cover was red. The front suspension is twin I-Beam, but the I-Beams looked like stamped steel rather than the cast material of the mid 80's. I know this isn't much to go on, but I would like some opinions of the vintage of the chassis and bed before I decide to buy it or not. The truck is somewhat rough. Any help narrowing down the years would be appreciated (too far away to check vin numbers in advance of buying it. Thanks, Bob __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
