You can make the parking lights be on with the headlights by simply
installing a jumper wire at the headlight switch from the park light
terminal to the headlight terminal.

If you don't want to do this you can buy a switch with this feature
built in, as in most of the newer types. If you go this route, you can
use your stock Ford knob/stalk and chrome ring on either GM or Ford
switches, since the ones I have done accept the same thread pattern for
the chrome ring. The original stalk might require a bit of grinding to
fit the new hole shape, etc, and a beer helps too.

Subject: Air conditioning

Does anyone know who makes the "best" aftermarket a/c bolt in units for
a 55 F100? Vintage Air seems to be the best known, it seems, but I was
wondering about any others also.

Does anyone know who offers discounts on these rather expensive items?
There are many dealers throughout the country, and I am just trying to
avoid having to call them individually if someone else has found someone
willing to deal. Pls Email me off list if you think it is prudent.

It might be prudent. Since all the dealers seem to have nearly the exact
price on every item every time, they probably would cut off a dealer who
wouldn't be in on the fix.

Thanks,
Paul G.

Hi Ken.

Are you going to post the pics of the extended cab pickup soon?

I am contemplating extending my cab and would really like to talk to
someone who has done one. Sounds like this is the right guy to talk to.

Steve,
I just pulled the 223 in my 60 and I'm putting in a 302. I originally thought
to put in a 300 but I found a deal on a 302/C6. The main problem with
rebuilding the 223 is that you can't go to PAW or Northern for rebuild kits
you have to go to one of the old truck suppliers and you will pay a bunch of
money for them and some things you just can't get. The main problem with the
300 is that it was a truck engine were the 302 was used in everything. Plus
the 302 is cheaper to rebuild.

302/C6 hope to have it on the road soon.

Subject: how hot is hot?

Here is another email that got bounced back to me as I was off the list.
Any help here is appreciated.

A tech question here: On my trip to Carlisle I was keeping an eye on the
temp gauge. I have a 239 V-8 with the fan shroud on and all the radiator
rubbers (except the one that hangs from the hood). The stock gauge was
consistently on the 3/4 mark (between the halfway mark and the 'H'). Is
this too hot? or just right? After cruising at turnpike speeds the temp
went up closer to the 'H' because of the revs the engine was making due
to the 392 stock rearend so I slowed it down a bit. My question: is it
OK for the temp gauge to be at the 3/4 mark consistently?
Thanks, Abe '54 F-100

It seems I was accidently removed from the list due to mail server
problems. Here is an email I wrote last week that did not make it so I
am sending it again now that I am on the list again.

Went to Carlisle last Friday and Saturday (June 23,24) for the Truck
Nats. Had a good time. The best ....
