The Ford Barn

I have a couple more 1950 F1 questions.

1. My rear end has no tag but is stamped 41. I presumed it was a 3.73 but engine is roaring pretty good at 55mph. What do You think?
2. I drove it for the second time this morning to the gas station and filled with gas but gauge only reads 3/4 full. It has NOS gauge. Do you think sending unit is stuck? It read empty before I filled it. This truck has been sitting in a Montana barn since 1984 and has not been started until recently. It runs Very Well having been rebuilt by an Old time Flathead guy prior to 1984.
3. What's the best oil to run in the Flathead V-8?
4. What's the best spark plugs to use in the Flathead V-8
5. I rewired the truck and put new tail lights on. Brake lights work great but tail light Very Dim!!!! I thought I got them grounded good to the bed but maybe not. What do you think?
