Hi, and welcome to FTE! 
Never any shame when you are forced to sell. I was in the very same boat back in 1983 with my first vehicle, a 1959 F-100. Unfortunately, mine was sent to the crusher 2 years after I sold it.
Congratulations on getting her back!
Sorry I can't help you as far as clubs in your area. I'm sure we must have someone here from your area. If not, you can also check with our Southern California Chapter.
Good luck with your old friend.

According to my next door neighbor, your MPG figures are right in there. These things were geared very low. Thanks to modern technology, Ford was able to get the MPG clear up to 13 or so in town, in only about 40 years, using 68 miles of underhood electrical wiring. I know I'm impressed with that engineering feat.

Hey another 60' on the board! Welcome to FTE! Ask as many questions as your little heart desires. We'll be here to answer. The gas tank holds 18 gallons if my mind remembers right. My 1960 292 v8 with the ford-o-matic gets 15-20mpg on the highway. -4speed
