Wiper Motor Headlight Switch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Terry" Subject: Re: New Rearend Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2000 14:06:23 -0500 Why not just drop a traction-loc third member in place of the stock one you have now? Should be cheaper and less headache than rerouting brake lines or rewelding spring perches. I've got a 1960 f-100 custom cab, with the original 9" rear. It has seen better days, and I want to upgrade to a newer posi-9" rear. Where can I get one i.e Volare, LTD, etc. that will bolt right in with not much problem. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2000 15:08:12 -0400 From: "James I. McDaniel" Subject: Steering Wheel Covers Back during the last month or two, there was some conversation on steering wheel covers for the 18" Ford truck steering wheels. I've got a '52 F-1 and just stumbled across a source. I then got home and looked through a new catalog that had come and, amazingly enough, they had them also. Thought I'd pass along both to the list in case some of you are still looking. The first one I found when I breezed through the auto section at the local Wal*Mart here in Northern Virginia. The brand name is "Axius" and it's billed as "Mighty Truck Grip Steering Wheel Cover." This one is black vinyl, of the type you lace around the wheel. It says it's "Extra large for full-size pickups, van, RVs or trucks with 16-18 inch steering wheels." It took just a little effort to stretch over my 18" wheel, but it went on quite easily and there was plenty of lace to make it around the wheel (cut off about 10 extra inches of lace). The part number is #50543. Price was $4.95. The second source is the LMC Truck catalog I sent off for. From the picture in the catalog, it looks exactly like the one I just got from Wal*Mart. It calls them "Deluxe Wheel Covers... Double the Thickness." The description says (it has) "double the thickness of any other steering wheel cover. These Steering Wheel Covers feature Prortherm construction that keeps them cool in the summer or warm in the winter. They have a soft, sensous touch of cushioned leather." Hmmm, sorry I'm gonna miss that sensous touch... Mine, however, definitely has a sensuous touch. The catalog "list price" is $9.94, with their "sell price" being $7.95. They're listed for F-Series 48-72. The black cover is part number 39-1812-BL and the tan cover is 39-1812-TN. I ordered my free catalog from them online at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.lmctruck.com. Their Canada/US toll-free order number is 1-800-222-5664. The covers are on page 39 of their 2000 Spring Edition FB.7. Hope this helps some of you out there still looking for these things.

Thr brushes look ok. Also the heater core has seen its final days as well. Needless to say a new 6 or 12 volt motor is 112.00 and a new heater core is about 100.00 in canada. I priced out vintage airs compact heater/defroster unit and its 399.00 :( Has anyone come up with a cheaper alternative to heat and defrost units. Maybe something out of a compact car that fits nicley you can suggest. Thanks for the help shawnwo home.com ------------------------------ From: "Jesus Cardoso" Subject: tranny rebuilt shop help Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2000 22:18:48 EDT Howdy, I have recently moved to the Detroit, MI area, complete with my '63 F100 from Texas. The old girl's tranny is acting up and is in need of a rebuild. The tranny is a Warner 3-speed on the tree. Does anyone have any suggestions on reputable tranny shops in the Detroit Metro area? Being fairly new to the area any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. chuy '63 F100 Flareside 292 Y-Block ________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2000 22:11:33 -0700 (PDT) From: Scott Subject: Re: Heater motor something?? There was a post about a 51-52 heater motor today and I deleted it with out thinking. To whom ever it was, I have a heater with motor for a 51-52 if you are interested.

Some web sites would be great.

Has anybody figured out how to keep the #!#! pull knob shaft from coming out in your hand? Yes .. I know. Pull G-E-N-T-L-Y. But that still doesn't keep it from popping out. I've white greased the shaft, made sure it's well "clicked-in" to the retaining spring clip .. but about one time in three out comes the knob and shaft. (Feels like that's what I'm getting when I buy new switches!)
