Re: Starting problems

I agree, the condenser is easier, and cheaper, to try first. However, get 3 condensers, odds are one of the three will be good. Or maybe that only happens to me?

Re: Texas barn find 18k 1 owner 1950 bus. cpe.

Re: 3-speed w/overdrive fuse

Thanks everyone, but she's going to leave it a EFV8 members garage and take it easy in a rental for the rest of the tour.

Re: 3-speed w/overdrive fuse

Thanks Charles, might just be what we have to do.
They have been fighting heat problems all the way, not just my Mom, and I was hoping she could use the OD to keep things a little cooler.

3-speed w/overdrive fuse

What size fuse should be used on a '50 3-speed w/ overdrive. Was running a 30amp, but it blew and I'm not sure if it's because it was the wrong amperage.

If 30amps is correct, quick ideas as to...

Re: Large or Heavy Duty Oil filter '51 M1

Thanks Al, that's exactly what I needed.

Do you happen to know what the story with these are? Is it a Ford part or aftermarket? Just something they did up there in Canada?

Re: Did you find your car or did it find you

The Merc found me. Why else would a truck from Alberta Canada be advertised in the Dallas paper? It wanted to be with me, or just out of the cold! :eek:

Re: New Member - '51 F1 PU

Nice 5-Star F1 you have there! I always see several 48-52 F1's at shows in Houston so I bet you will find all kinds of resources nearby, besides on here.

Good Luck!

Re: Green Bible, OG or Reprint?

Just curious, is there a difference in the information in an original and a reprint? Or are you just looking for an original, as a collector?
