Thank you everyone for the help and info on the heater parts. I will try and contact the gentlemen in Fla for parts.

Yes it is the factory heater. the blower motor is mounted in the fender well therefore it is very rusted out.

Looking for a heater motor, blower(squirrel cage) and housing for a 1949 f3 pickkup. Does anyone know of any sources for any of these parts? The blower motor can be 6v or 12v. Thanks in advance. Also have a 1929 model a roadster pickup for sale. It is disassembled and in rough shape. Original...

Looking for help and info on a V12. I have inherited a Lincoln with a V12. There is no compression on the number one cylinder. I am trying to find a shop manual, if there is one, on the V12. If I do attempt to dismantle the engine to make the repairs myself, I need the torque values and other...

I have a 1949 Ford F3 with the original wheels, 16" widow makers. I am looking for suggestions as to a different 16" wheel that would fit that is not a 2 piece wheel. It has to be 8 lug. I have tried junk yards and found that certain wheels will fit the front but not the rear due to the size of...

I have a 1941 pickup with the under dash wiring all cut up and I want to put a new wire harness in so that I don't have all these aftermarket gauges mounted under the dash. The truck was converted to 12volt and I have a circuit breaker or I think that is what it is wired in for the dash. Will I...

I am looking for a heater blower motor housing, and 12 volt motor for a 1949 F3. It is the one mounted up in the fender well. What I have left is not rebuildable. Does anyone have any sources for these? Thanks in advance for any help.

I did a check in the "Green Bible" and on page 12 is a diagram of the spare tire carrier and it shows that 1936 to 1941 commercial, does mount to the running board. There is an attachment to the box at some point. I had a 1937 pickup a while back and it had the same mount on the running board...

I checked all of the places you mentioned and nobody carries the spare tire mount. I will keep looking on this site and ebay. Thank you for your help so far.

I am looking for a spare tire mount for a 1941 Ford 1/2 ton. Specifically the one that mounts through the running board. Is there a source for these new or does anyone know of one for sale?

I am trying to locate the parts needed for the spare tire carrier for a 1941 pic kup. I am not really sure of all of the parts that are needed for this. Does anyone have any idea where I might look other than Mac's, C&G or Obsolete Parts? I cannot find what I am looking for there. Thanks

The oil pressure is what scares me the most. I have valvoline VR1 20W50 oil in it now.

It runs ok but smokes a bit.

I know this has been discussed earlier BUT, I have a 1937 flathead v8 in a 1941 pickup. The cylinder compression is 60 to 65 psi, dry in all of the cylinders. the oil pressure drops from 20 to 25 psi cold to 5 or less after it warms up. I need to rebuild it. Looking for a place that rebuilds...

What is the best antifreeze to use? Ethylene Glycol or the newer multi use antifreeze. Also on motor oil, what is the best type of oil in the flatheads? a multi viscosity or a straight 30 weight?
