This may seem like a really silly question, but I'm curious about
the rain thing. Seems my '53 F-250 doesn't much like the rain.
She's been stalling out when I stop since the rain started and
I'm wondering if it's merely a function of the water or something
else. Of course, this will all become clear once the weather
does, but, what about rain? Why didn't you take it out in
the rain, Dan? Is there something I ought to know?

Anxiously awaiting dry weather,
Jan McLaughlin

Dan,
Glad to hear that you got it together. I`ve got some
questions. Does the kit mount from the frame to the tie rod for the
clyinder? does the kit supply a parts list with #s ? Does the tie rod have
any special mount for the clyinder? I think you will like the ease that
it takes when you go down the road, I know that it made abig difference on
my 56. Make sure that you get a front alignment.

Put me down for at least two tee shirts. It would be great if we could have
some sort of meeting or get together at Pigeon Forge. I went there last year
and had a great time. For you guys that have never been, it's a great family
vacation and you will see some of the top FORD trucks around.

Subject: Italian?

Can anyone translate this? I got this message from a web
site visitor. Its Italian.

Il mio autocarro e' un FORD serie A mod. A0509P portata 50 ql. P.T.T.
mi piacerebbe sapere in quali stato e' stato fabbricato e in quali stati
e' stato venduto, commercializzato dato che in italia c'e' ne sono pochi
esemplari.
Dato la scarsa diffusione del modello come potrei fare per reperire le
parti di ricambio danneggiati.
Se esiste una pagina web dove poterlo vedere gradirei avere il nome di
questa pagina.
In attesa di una vostra risposta ringrazio.
Giacomo Argentati

Thanks,
Ken
