Hello, new member here from Texas. Just dragged a '49 F3 home. Six cylinder flathead & 4-speed. It's a basket case that needs just about everything so I'm looking forward to connecting with some folks here who are familiar with these things.
I've been wrenching on old Fords for about 40 years now but this is the oldest vehicle I've decided to tackle so its definitely time to learn some new things.
