Re: More 39 pu wiring

Got a booklet from rock auto that covers Ford ;)32-53 “Cars and light trucks”. NOT!!

But it does show the cars went to a single breaker in 41 and duel breakers in 42.

Re: 39 Ford PU steering

Re: More 39 pu wiring

Thanks for the reply. I’ll have to look at dashes to see what year I got stuff of of. I’m sure my 38 big truck had fuse and resister.

Re: odd questions

BTW, JSeery's info is spot on, as usual. Tyree (and I) just crimped the wire terminal a bit to get it thru the loop - did not have to remove entirely. Just don't remember a second wire
