This old truck is awesome.

When I fed quarters into that stupid pong machine when I was just a kid I knew that the world would be ruined by it.:D

Possible that the O ring on the end of the dipstick has squared or torn. Possibly the same at the speedo cable connection. Possibly the o ring seal that is within the shifter arm mechanism, a pia to swap. Possibly the seal that the converter uses to seat into the trans, you have to prelube that...

I know that you are a big guy, 6 foot plus and nearly 300 if I remember correctly. There is no way a man your size is going to be comfortable in a pick up truck cab. Plus I am biased since I have a panel already.

You have a very empty photo album to be making such rough comments. The Fordbarn is a place for friends to share knowledge and to further the enjoyment of the keeping and restoring of old Fords. The man has a very nice vehicle that he is restoring, he should not feel compelled to defend...

Sorry to hear this.

Ask Django.

You pay too little you get little back.

This is like De Ja Vu. That tank is always running too hot. Every year. I use a nice Griffin aluminum radiator and a Spaal Be Cool fan, had my old truck with the monster engine in it in the parade for a solid hour in the 92 degree heat tossing candy to the children doing 1/4 MPH behind the...
