Between the two of use, and if it were me, I'd use the original
engine parts on the new engine, and neglect to mention it to the casual
looker. It has always been a source of amazement to me how many people
can glance at an old truck, and say this or that is not stock. All that
water pump and other stuff should interchange, leaving a stock look, and
no clearance problems.

NOS: "New Old Stock", indicates a part produced, contemporary with the
vehicle, by, or for, the OEM that was never installed. As opposed to
"reproduction" or "aftermarket" which denote parts built, supposedly, to
OEM specifications, sometimes under license, and just plain replacement
parts you could get at a auto parts store.

If the ignition switch operates the door locks, it would be desirable
to replace both, but as long as you have a key to the truck, and a key
to the door, well??. IF you have the ignition key, it is not that hard
to swap the cylinder to match the door, it is not necessary to change
the whole switch.

Ed,

A good locksmith should be able to make you a key for your existing door
locks in about 10 minutes. When I bought my 55 I had the same problem. The
locksmith went out side with me and started hand filing. I think it only
cost me about $10.

Just for pricing comparison, a pair of door seals for a '64 is $75,
and the remaining winbow stuff is about $200 for a pair. This is
from Sacramento Vintage Ford. I've done one door and the fit is
excellent, other than the slight area of non-contact due to
my brother 'altering' the top of the door area (rolled it onto it's side).

Now double that for my crewcab!

I've been looking through my wish books tonight for door seal kits for my
50. According to the catalogs that I have, looks like $200 is the average
price. Is this about right, or am I overlooking a better source? The kit
includes door seals, glass runs, division bars, anti-rattlers, and vent
seals.

I haven't bought them yet, but Stockton Wheel quoted me $65 each
to build wheels in the original style but made for radials. They
actually build them. I could specify the width, offset, etc.
Coker wanted $75 and were only availble in one width/offset, and
with a no return policy. Guess who I'm going with when the time
comes! www.stocktonwheel or something as easy as that, don't have
it bookmarked, it's that easy to find.

Subject: FTE Pre61 - Re: Radial Tires/Stock Rims

My feelings and experience (Many Years) (Very Old)
If you are going to drive it.........put radials on it. If you are going to
show it........it doesn't matter.
The only major thing to watch is, because we can go sooooooo wide with
radials, be sure the width of your rim can handle it. If the rim is too
narrow, the tread doesn't meet the pavement correctly and the bead may not
seat well. If you need to get a wider rim and keep your stock centers, that
can be done. Wheels Vintiques and Stockton Wheel have done it for me in the
past.

Check to see if the water pump from the 239 will fit the 292. If so buy a new
water pump and go that rout. It is possible that the 292 engine came form a
passenger car, and has a different set up for the water pump. I am a little
pressed for time at the moment, but I will run some part numbers for you
tonight, and see what will fit what.

I have been in a similar situation where I purchase another Y-block that I
was told was a 272 out of a 1955 truck. To my amazement the engine has
nothing in common with my 239. Nothing will interchange. The engine code on
the heads show EAL6090A. Does anyone know what kind of Y-block this is?

Dave

P.S. By the way thanks for all the input on my previous question regarding
rebuilding heads on Y-Blocks.

Sounds about right. I just did my windows, including glass, last weekend
so it's still fresh in my memory. I bought a kit from Sacramento Vintage
with glass runs, division bars, anti-rattlers (what a pain to install) for
both doors for $100. Vent seals are another $45 and the door seals run
$55. Prices I've seen seem pretty consistent from place to place.
