Re: Ford trucks and other stuff
Now those are trucks to be admired. I like old cars but love old trucks of any size or vintage. The truck thing probably comes from being a log truck driver when I was young.

Re: Adjustable lifter problem
Put me down as a fan of solid lifters and grind to length valves. So far I've not had any of them get out of adjustment.
Just my $ 0.02 worth.

Re: 46 Ford pickup gas tank
I have an extra tank but I'm not sure what it's condition is. I'll try to dig it out today and look it over. If it looks at all usable/repairable I'll send you a PM to see if you want it.

Re: Wildfire evacuation
There is some speculation that some of the fires here in Oregon are arson related as several started between 0100 and 0500 hours the same day along major roads. Several small towns have been...

Re: 46 Ford pickup 16 inch wheels
That was the size that was on my 45 pickup when I got it. Original wheels in usable condition are hard to find, at least where I live. Most that I have found are cracked or bent. I'm still needing...

Re: sealed bearing fan hub
Lots of good ideas, thanks.
I"m leaning heavily towards the solution that Art Newland used, simple and easy to do and looks original.

Re: Floor shift in 53 f-100
Yes, that would be a truck. I've never seen a 3-2-2 setup like you have. I don't quite understand the need for the two speed differential. I'm sure it makes for interesting shifts.

Re: Speedometer needle
Be careful as the needle is aluminum and will bend/break quite easily. A clock repair person could pull and replace it quickly and safely.
