Hello from Uruguay

Hi!. I'm Pablo, from Uruguay, South America.
I'm restoring a 1956 F100, and I hope it is great.
Now I need some help with the recirculating heater system. I'm looking for a illustration or something like that with all hoses and parts.

I hope help somebody with something I know.

Thank's!!
Pablo

Hola Pablo!

I think I have just the thing for you - 1948 to 1956 F1, F100 forum at FTE

In that forum right there, we have a huge amount of info about all parts of these ano's of truck, and people who talk there all the time about their restorations and projects. They can not only help you out with diagrams, but have excellent advice on how to make even the oldest truck like brand new...

These guys have been at it for a long time, and we have a few members from SA also - Encho for one, who is from Caracas Venezuela who may be helpful at finding parts in America del Sud.

There are also several sponsors of FTE that may offer discounts and advantages at parts prices

~Something I try to find.

Hello and welcome, sabor and enjoy! This really is one of the best places online to find out everything there is to know about a Ford Truck

Hola!!. Thank you for the wellcome!!
I found illustrations about "fresh air" but not about "recirculating heater system", but I don't search too much yet.

My truck it's a 1956 Custom Cab V8.

This is at the beginning of the project:



and now...



I will post pictures of progress!!

Thank you!!
Pablo

WOW! "XLNT!"

That is some very impressive work you are doing.

I see a hint of something with some very narrow tires to the right in the first picture too, just beyond the engine stand...

Thank you!!

Those cars are from the owner of the restoration office, mine only the F100.
He buys and if you you want it, buy it and he restores to you.

I bought all the pieces, and he mounts.

That's a wonderful occupation if you can get into it.

My cars and trucks these days - I am thinking about very small high mileage machines. If I can do that to older cars and trucks, with newer engines and computer controls to make them better I think I can make something out of it.

I have been thinking about making a pickup truck out of a ford Fiesta or Festiva....

I think I know where I can get one nearby too!


I do strange things to automobiles and camiones.


But for many years Ford made what was called a Ranchero. It was a truck, but had a car front end. If I make one out of a Festiva it would be called a "Ranchito" I think....

Since I first proposed the idea, several people have encouraged me to go after it.

Welcome to the best Ford Truck Site on the net Bud. I am about as far from
you as one can get and still be on the American continent. Go where
The Wolfman has sent you and start a build thread to document what your
doing. We love to follow along and help when we can. Like Wolfie said the
guys here are great and know it all. Really.

Nice and clean rust free vehicles Pablo. Looks to be a 63 Chevrolet Impala in the back ground, which may be worn, but the sheet metal still looks good.
