Subject: Re: changing engines - hoist height, etc

Sorry, wasn't paying attention to the year of the truck or the details of
the thread, but it was about lifting an engine high enough ...
If I recall, on a '52 there are about 12 bolts holding the whole front end
on. Two big ones under the U-shaped radiator bracket, two on each running
board, and several holding the fender/fenderwell to the cab. After
disconnecting the wires and coolant lines, two people could walk the whole
nose - grill, radiator, the works - right off the front of the truck. Then
things get real easy.
I've also done this on later model cars, so maybe its an option on the
subject truck.

How's that Ford driveline into a Ch*vy truck project coming along? I
mentioned that to an urepentant Ch*vr*l*t fan at my office, and I thought
he was going to pass out!! Needless to say, I took fiendish delight in
telling him about it!
By the way, thanks for the suggesstions on easy engine removal. The more I
look at it, the easier it looks if I just take the doghouse off. It will
also give me an opportunity to take a look at the kingpins from an erect,
rather than supine, posture, and I just may tackle that project at the same
time.
Don

In my haste I ???deleted??? a letter from someone I think was named clive. It
was concerning a 55' F-100 with a chrysler frontend. I am putting in a
351/400 w c-6 xmsn. I goofed sir and lost it. If you recall, that would be
great if you could send it again please. Thank you, Kent

Subject: Engine Paint

A while back someone was looking for engine paint.

Just found the can that was used on my 55 F100, 317 Y Block:

It is as follows:

PPG Deltron Acrylic Urethane

OEM: WA3893

DAU2094 Medium Yellow.

Hope that helps who ever was looking.

Subject: 1949 F-4

I'm the new owner of a 1949 F-4 cab and chassis. The antique truck world
is fairly new to me, I've spent most of my time dealing with newer models.
I'd like to find out a little more about this thing. All the magazines,
catalogs and books refer to F-1's and maybe a F-2 or F-3, I've never seen
an F-4 mentioned anywhere. Am I looking in the wrong place? I'm
interested in the basic information, like what did it look like new? What
information can I get from the data plate? Should it have turn signals?
Why does a truck this large only have a six cylinder? Is this really a six
volt positive ground system? And many other silly questions... If someone
would be kind enough to point me in the right direction, I sure would
appreciate it!

Thanks,
Jim
