The Ford Barn

Gentlemen:

I recently acquired a restored 1948 Ford F1. The truck was recently restored by the previous owner and we purchased it from his Estate. We know the 239 Flathead V8 was recently rebuilt, however, we don't have any information regarding when the vehicle was last serviced. Therefore, I want to go thru the truck and change all fluids, etc.

Question: What oil should we run? (brand and weight) Located in South Carolina. I know there is a WIDE range of opinions on this topic. I have heard good things about Lucas Hot Rod & Classic 10w-30 with High Zinc.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Brent
