I have heard about sand blast, powder blast, and dipping the cab to remove rust. What are the pro's and con's of each? What would you do? Randy 50 F1 239 ------------------------------ From: "Jim Shedlauskas" Subject: '48, '49 F-4 Date: Fri, 26 May 2000 12:57:01 -0400 I picked a bargain this week, it's the remains of a '48 F-4, almost everything but the cab. It should help be out quite a bit with my '49 F-4 project which has a fairly nice cab, but everything else has been beat to death. But... I'm a little confused. I cant seem to find a shop manual for the '48. The manual I have starts at '49. Everything looks to be about the same, am I missing something here? The '48 has great tires and only one wheel rusted out and came with a rusted flathead V-8, which I'd like to use instead of the 6 cylinder I have now. The '48 has a power brake booster on it, but it looks pretty rough, can these be rebuilt? The previous owner took the cab off this truck and put it on a '74 Ford pickup frame, it's a work in progress, but looked pretty good so far. He also had a '48 F-4 that he'd put on a blazer frame with all Chevy running gear and boy did it look nice! Jim in PA ------------------------------ From: "Randy Selby" Subject: Spark Problem Date: Fri, 26 May 2000 12:20:18 -0500 Tried to start my 239 for the first time yesterday and have a problem with the ignition. I have intermittant spark. When checked at the neg. side of coil, test lamp flashes a few times , then quits, then flashes a few times again. Can this be a ground problem in the distributor? Any ideas would be helpful, thanks.

I was in the market for a nine-inch rear end and thought this might be a candidate. i pulled a rusty metal tag off of the center section and it has (what I believe to be) these numbers on it. 70 6EC 302. To any of you that have the Ford books, does this make sense... and if so what does it mean? thanks in advance for your help. Fred hotrod'56 ------------------------------ From: "Roger Hughes" Subject: Radiator Question Date: Fri, 26 May 2000 17:30:57 -0500 Roy, I bought a radiator from U.S. Radiator for my 55 F100 w/239 Y-block and it fit just like the original plus has connections for cooling an automatic trans. It looks just like the original too. I can recommend them from my experience. There was a delay when I ordered mine so check with them on a delivery date.

They sent it off to TX and it came back good as new for around $200 The '48 has a power brake booster on >it, but it looks pretty rough, can these be rebuilt? (Hi Ken!) Ray C ------------------------------ From: "Carver" Subject: Re: Window Goop Date: Fri, 26 May 2000 23:23:38 -0700 Long term testing (from someone on another vehicle list I'm on) reveals that plain old roofing tar lasts longer, doesn't get hard, and will keep water out. If I don't go with a full restore on my truck, I'm gonna scrape out the hard, cracked, leaky silicone and put in roofing tar to seal the leaks (the frame isn't quite the shape it's supposed to be!). Use #108 Henry Asphalt roof coating and lap cement. Non-fibered, Brush grade, Solvent based. Apply using a condiment squeeze bottle with the removable tip cover. Not the screw open/closed kind! Paint the frame are before installing the window rubber and glass to seal the surface to prevent water puddling rust. Jeff '64 F100 CrewCab 292 ------------------------------------------ I've got two water leaks at the lower corners of my '50 windshield. I'm thinking about seeing if the over-the-counter tube of goop will do any good. Has anybody used this stuff with any luck? Any recommendations? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 May 2000 08:34:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Dennis Moody Subject: brass spring bushings I need to remove the brass bushings which are pressed into the frame for the front spring shackles.
