F series trucks did not start until 48. Knob on right sounds like a foot rest so you foot does not bob on the spoon feed acelelater.

Re: Couple 46 F5 ?'s
Ford used King Seeley gauges and senders back in the day and no reproductions are available for them. The senders work on a different principle of current control than the more modern resistor type sending units. Many times the old originals can be serviced and made to function normally. They use a heater coil to move a bi-metallic strip to control current through a rapidly oscillating set of points.
The modern replacement senders work on the normal resistance rheostat principle as was mentioned and they will not allow the gauge indicator to function through out the whole range of movement properly since they only work in a specific range of Ohms. A person is doing good if they can get it to at least let them know if the tank is low on fuel or not. Parts are available for the free journal type fan bearing assembly and they really aren't all that expensive. Here is a link to Mac VP's info on them. http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/f...ervicetips.htm |
