Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Adapting Major Components of 1948 - 1960 Ford Trucks
Compiled primarily by FTE user R. M. Ferguson with the help of many others.

This article has been sitting in the queue for a while, but I think you'll all agree its worth the wait and can be used as a reference resource for this section.

Ken--this is nice! I do not use the search option much--it is sooo hard to locate your exact question or problem...It takes searching through all kinds of oddball ideas till you pinpoint your problem and address it,if ever.....thanks

Well everyone thank Ken... but don't forget my northern Cuzin...

Mr. Ferguson... a formidable undertaking and an excellent collection of very useful information..

I certainly appreciate all the effort that went into it's compilation and for all you other single syllable users... what Cuz done was a lot of work... be nice and thank him.

It's something that has been needed for a long time and hopefully will cut down on the repetition of topics and answers...

way to go Cuz... you done good

later
John

Will this be a new "sticky" at the top of the forum, or will all the articles be in one place?
