Oil & Filter Change

Where can I get a oil filter for my 1953 Ford F100? I know it's the cannister type of cover...any suggestions where to find a replacement filter? Thanks!

I assume it's the bypass type filter? NAPA sells it as P/N 1006. It is used on so many different vehicles that it's a stock item.

Thanks Ross! Having never done this on the truck before (I just recently got it), I assume the cannister is unscrewed and then you install the filter?

Take out the long bolt down the center, popthe lid off. Replace the gasket (it is frequently stuck hard inside the lid). You get a gasket with the filter.

One other thing - don't try to pre-fill the canister with oil. Just re-assemble it all dry, refill the crankcase and fire you engine. Check your oil level after it runs a few minutes and of course watch for oil pressure to return to normal. If it doesn't happen instantly when the engine starts, don't worry....it takes a little bit with a system you've got.
