Ok,

That's it. It's going to be John Deere Yellow! Sumner Tractor is just down the road and they have JD Yellow in quart cans!

The transmission is going to be black. (anybody got a problem with that?)

Now what am I going to do with the Brand new clutch, pressure plate, throw-out and pilot bearings and 2 bell housings now that I'm going to an automatic? ....speaking of an automatic....anybody have an automatic steering column they don't want?) damm, this thread is longer than oil thread!!!


Ed,

What part of Wa are you in?


Cheers everybody......Pics to follow when I get some paint on that thing!

Ok. I'm confused but maybe someone has figured this out since the last posts. 1959 F350 292 Y block engine. Black block ? Ford red valve covers? Black everything else? Am I close?

Thanks,

Mark

Black block & Red valves covers were on the 223 I-6 in '59 & '60.
