I believe I need some professional help. In more ways than one !! I purchased what I believed was a 1948 F-2 or F-3 truck. I have found most of the serial numbers and believe I have most of them decoded. But this Frame number is giving me fits. I've looked for 3 days and now I give up. I...

I've found a 1951 Ford Custom Fordor Sedan off in the woods. It's been there a very long time. It's a mess to say the least and will take a lot of work to get her out. I'm looking for help decoding parts of the ID Plate. I've been able to find some info but not all. I hope the "Production...

What’s the difference between the F-2 and F-3 brake pads and cylinders? I’ve got my old 1950 F-3 running very good. I’ve taken her out and run her through the gears. Everything seems to work just find except for the brakes. It’s a good thing I live in good ole flat Mississippi.Down shifting...

You see I bought this 1950 Ford F3 and I have no history on this truck. I suspect my fuel tank has a lot of that nasty, stinky, black, tar like gunk in it from old gas. This gunk has clogged up the fuel pump screen and has coated the collection bowl. Is there any way to clean this gunk out of...

Why would Ford put a cap on this Valve? It must have some purpose. I've never seen a valve with a cap before. Without the cap, the exhaust valve is about 1/8 inch shorter than the intake valve. It's the same length with the cap on. I'm having engine trouble on my 1950 F-3. I pulled the intake...
