Subject: Re: Panhandle Florida Trip Larry: I started to write you off-line, but thought there may be some interest from the rest of the group. I sent a post sometime in NOvember last year indicating that I was planning the trip, and asking if anyone was interested in an 'eyeball visit'. For some reason that post never made it. Incidentally, I believe it would have been in #216, which never made it to my inbox. Anyway, I am a native of Jackson County, Fl,(Marianna) and that's where we went, to visit our family. We lived in Pensacola from 1969- 1978. Very familiar with the territory. If I get the heat/AC working properly, we may take another trip there in the truck. I think it would be great if there was a list of people here in the group that we could contact if we are passing through their home territory in our projects.

Subject: Re: Custom Heat and Air Kenneth: You may have just confirmed my fear..the problem is inadequate design. Does your A/C work ok? I didn't get the truck running until the weather was kind of cool, but when I charged the a/c it never got very cool. Then when I couldn't get it warm with the heater, I started wondering if performance was sacrificed to make it all fit into a concise unit. This is something the vendor claims their competition does, but not them. I am digging into the matter, and will post any improvements I come across.

Subject: Bolt Circles - Which is most advisable? I got some progress done on my '50 F-1 "Wallace" (from the movie 'Wallace & Gromet' for those in-the-know). I took the front axle completely apart. Woah.. what a mess. Suffice it to say that it needs replacement parts. The drums were so severely gouged that I figure it would be well to consider replacing with disc brakes instead. I was looking at Hot Rod Worldwide.com and they have a basic conversion kit. MY QUESTION IS: Which size bolt circle would be best: 4 1/2 or 4 3/4 ? I know that in the future this will come to haunt me if I don't choose the one that I will find adaptable. What do you guys think? -- Tulio Solorzano '50 F-1 (newest member to the family) '60 F-100 Custom Cab '77 280z, '78 Jeep CJ5 & '79 Harley Sportster ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2001 08:00:22 -0500 (EST) From: Winford Rister <fordf100 usa.com>
Subject: Re: Rear spring lengths Paul: The lengths are different between 54 and 55, but the springs are interchangeable. My 54 has 55 springs on it. I had two trucks from which I built the 54. The rear hanger changes angle with the different length springs. Mine now has the spring eye on top and the frame connection below it. Sorry, that's the only part of the frame I didn't get pictures of.

Subject: Re: Custom Heat and Air Kenneth, Winford, et al: Should have kept the original heater!! My recirculating heater blows lots of hot air (like a lot of us old truck guys do!). Seriously my original heater works fine after a cleaning and looks great after after my paint job with a spray can and the 6 volts drive the fan to blow that hot air around the cab! I will be a lot warmer when I get my driver side window replaced!!! Abe '54 F-100 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2001 10:21:11 -0500 From: Abe Stauffer <astauffe oak.kcsd.k12.pa.us>
Subject: Re: OT: Classic Trucks magazine If you are looking for a quality truck magazine, written by truck guys, for truck guys, not owned by a huge conglomerate magazine corporation, may I suggest "This Old Truck". They have a web page from which to order. I don't have their address here now but you will find it if you do a search. Pros: pictures of all kinds of trucks from perfect restorations to untouched beat up work trucks, to nice looking daily drivers; they have tech tips and how to articles; they cover truck shows; they have a classified section. Cons: it is only bi-monthly; and for you Ford purists they include all makes of trucks, from pickups to medium duty; and it costs a little more than the popular truck mags.

Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2001 17:26:52 -0500 Subject: Rear Spring Lengths F100 I have a set of rear springs, and don't know if they are early, or later, longer ones. If anyone can measure theirs, from eye to eye, and tell me the year of their truck, I'll be able to determine by deduction the info I need. My panel has I believe Chrysler springs mounted directly under the frame, so that's why I can't tell for myself. Thanks in advance, Paul G ------------------------------ From: MichellHC aol.com

It is located on the last page in the readers rides section. Also there is a blurb about me in the editor's comments section entitled Up Front with Rich. The Ed. has been in contact with me and he wants us to try and meet sometime this year so he can so a feature on my truck. I will keep you posted.
