Has anyone else been getting weird private messages here thru the Barn? Yesterday was one from England about camping site. Today, it was from a person named Maksim Klapsan written in Russian or some other dialect from that area. Did the system here get hacked into? Maybe Ryan should look into...

My gas tank finally showed up. Chinese (as expected ) made. Bought from Speedway and supplied by Vintique! I try to buy as little of their stuff as the quality varies so much, depending on the item. I haven't opened the box yet, so I am not passing judgement on the item until I install it. Maybe...

I had my gas tank in my 50 F-1 cut open and coated inside with RedKoat tank sealer. It was done 4-5 years ago and the stuff is supposed to be ethanol resistant. Ever since then, the gas is red, like cherry soda is. They did it again and same deal. So, I am going to get a new steel tank. No more...

I know it's not Ford parts, but I need to get a lawn tractor plow moved up to me from Pulaski, Pa ( 10 miles from Youngstown, OH. to the Hartford, Ct area. Anyone coming up to New England that can help. I live by I-84 and I-91 and can meet along the way. Albany, NY is an option also. Along the...

I need some stuff transported from the Pulaski, Pa ( western Pa ) area to Hartford, Ct. They are not car parts, actually a small tractor snow plow and accompanying parts to assemble it. It weighs about 140 lbs and is the plow and a box. Plow is roughly 48 inches long and the box is 50 x 8 x 18...

I think I know the answer, but want to conform it. My Curtis key book lists a H-4 for the door/glovebox for a 46-48 Ford car. Was that number replaced by the later H-5 blank? I think it is a Ilco 1125? blank. It's been a while since I've used my Curtis #14 cutter and want to use the correct blank.

Has anyone gotten a private message from a person who signs in as BENNYSA? It's in German and I can decipher a few words and they seem strange. I can't convert German. He has never posted here before. I am wondering if he's a scammer or not. I was going to forward it to Ryan, but don't see...

I received an email for a big "Sale" He was having online featuring "no shipping charges". So I figured I try him again. I ordered 3 dash knobs for my 1950 F-1. I then get another email stating I did not put a credit card number in the order. My order confirmation showed the last 4 digits of the...

A friend of mine ( Waterboychuck ) who is on FordBarn also, told me that he called Antique Auto and they said it had been sold and all the parts went to Indiana. They did not give him a name. Could it have been MacDonald Obsolete Parts in Rocckport, Ind. ? Anyone know who it is for sure?

I am ashamed to admit I let my truck sit for 11 months since I last started it. I kept saying" I gotta start that truck " and kept walking by it. I didn't want a repeat of my stuck valve problem 3 years ago. I've been so busy here repairing small engines. etc... to take the time to work on the...

It's probably been mentioned before, but Antique Auto Supply in Texas are first class in my book! I talked to a woman there ( I forget her name ) and she was very knowledgable . I gave her the part numbers and she said she'd call me back. She called an hour later and said she had it all, gave...

I'm looking for a accessory horn relay like the one in the pic. These were used in horn kits you could add on to your car or truck. I don't care if it works or not. Decal is not important also. If you have one or know where to find one, let me know. If you can send a pic, that would be great...

THis is a question for 48-52 truck owners. THe access panels are held to the door with 8 screws each. THe parts catalog lists them and the countersunk washers. When you go to the Ford standard & utility catalog, they show a flat hex head screw under the correct part number. It's obviously a...

I need the 2 pieces and clips that hide the wires for the Ford clamp on signal switch. The wires are tucked into these and then the wires go under the dash. THe ones from a 49-50 Ford car would work. Anyone have some extras and would part with them? I had them and can't seem to find them...

THis may or may not be off topic, but I'll ask any way. I have a 49-50 Factory Ford car signal switch that I am going to install in my 50 F-1 pickup. The plating is flaking and I want to remove it and paint it black like the ones that are for the trucks. They had a wrinkle finish in black. The...

I have a 49-50 Ford car signal switch ( SXTS-B ) that was also used in the 48-52 Ford trucks. My switch doesn't have any wires on the terminal lugs anymore. I need a sketch so I can re-do the wires. I need to know what wires go where on the switch and where they ultimately go to. Any help is...

I have 2 tailpipes for 48-56 Ford F-1, F-100 pickups. One is NOS Ford and the other is a repo.The NOS one is $40.00 and the NOSR one is $30.00. The NOSR one was on a truck that was converted to a hotrod and was run maybe for a couple of hours worth of time. THe NOS one has never been used, but...

Today was a nice day, low humidity and in the 80's. I moved the camper and charged up the battery and fired up the 50 F-1. She cranked a few times and started up. Always nice to hear a flathead crank over. I try to get out there and start it once a month, but lately I have not had time. It's...

I collect old photos of Ford dealers in the 40's and 50's, being an ex- Ford parts man. I thought I'd share a couple of a dealer in Middletown, Conn. that was in business until the early 80's I believe. I worked at another dealership with the son of the last owners and he gave me these pics. The...

I am experimenting with trying to get my uploaded pics to appear in the thread. I was getting this to work, but now all I get is a link to click on to open the pic. I did notice others were getting thier pics to appear. I hope this works. I do need 2 of the elbows pictured on top of the heater...
