Re: 1946 ford grill gaurd
Hi Richard, Merry Christmas
My 46 has the lower crossbar also. Original but don't know if it came from the factory or if the dealer drilled holes in the guards to attach the bar.

chilly morning
29 degrees this morning and took the 46 to church. Heater works great so a toasty ride. No snow in the forecast so will set a 100 year record for no measureable snow before Christmas.
Happy...

Re: 50's cars
Same here, high school in the mid fifties and some of us would sit on the corner and see who could be first to guess the oncoming cars.

Re: New pic
Walt,
You are becoming a computer wizard. Nice rod. Now who built the engine? My guess is it was that guy in Gardiner that talks with a funny accent.:)

Re: Raising the vin number on a frame.
Bill,
What year are you talking about? On the 46 I believe the VIN is only on the frame. Not transmission or engine. Maybe someone will come in with the facts.

Re: Oil Pump Gasket
Jwl,
I think he is talking about the gasket from the pickup to the pump. Not the bottom plate gasket. Thickness is not critical there. JMO. John

Re: What cleanout plugs for Merc crank?
Use Dorman plugs. 555-010. Available at CARQUEST and NAPA. If you use the drill and tap for a pipe plug, you better be sure you get every little chip out from that process or risk a scored bearing....
