From 40 deluxe ... Ford had a number of authorized rebuilders around the country for many years-I haven't kept up to know if they still do. They rebuilt anything that was rebuildable: engines, transmissions, starters, generators, distributors, fuel pumps, water pumps, carburetors and more. These were all available at your local Ford dealer. Each part had a decal that looked like a blue ribbon with the words something like "Ford Authorized Rebuilder". Plus engines had a metal tag that usually listed cylinder overbore size and crankshaft undersize. These parts were very common.

These authorized re-builders is where the "BB" cranks came from. They installed the pressed-on counterweights.
