New guy from England.
I'm Gideon from the U.K
Avid petrolhead with a few old Cars and Bikes all pre 1962 but joining this site to help with my 1960 F100 Panel Truck.original L6 auto box
VIN F10J0R53420
Purchased in Los Angeles 8 years ago and shipped to the U.K by myself and a buddy.
I drove it for a couple of years then other projects took over.so she has been laid up for 5 years.
Well I just started getting her back on the road so may be asking a few questions soon.
I will join the registry once I get the rest of the VIN plate info.

Welcome to FTE
F10 = F100.
J = 223 1V I-6.
0 = 1960.
R = San Jose CA Assembly Plant.
53420 = 1960 Numerical Sequence of Assembly, the trucks specific serial number.
Be careful that you don't drive on the right side of the road in your LHD Ford truck.
When I was in the UK in 1999, it felt weird driving on the left side of the road in a rented RHD Vauxhall.

Where do I post tech questions?
Hi all, I need some answers and opinions on a few tech questions do I post in this 57-60 group or the main forum?.
I don't use any social media platforms or other forums so I don't understand the rules

I get the J = 223 cubic inch l6 = straight 6 cylinder what dies 1V mean?

Thanks I was thinking that, shame that 1 barrel is a 1904,
I have 4 x 1904 carbs they all leak fuel onto the manifold,
I will start another thread on that when I get the other issues sorted.
Thanks for your welcome folks

Nice looking truck. Rebuild kits are readily available here in US for 1904. Shipping, tax, and vat would double your cost though. Hucknall is a small town near Nottingham in Robin Hood country. At one time it was famous for it's coal mines and has the church where Lord Byron is buried.

I actually bought a recon one and it's started to leak from the top, I put in a fuel regulater and it stopped for a while but it's back again.
Trouble is it leaks onto the exhaust manifold kinda makes me stop every 5 mile to check it.
I've been through Nottinghamshire but never stayed there nice countyside

my most stubborn leak was from the copper washer connecting the fuel inlet to the float assembly, a quick anneal and all sorted.
Cool looking truck, good luck with the resto.
