F8 for restoration
I have been lucky enough to acquire an Cab 12 F8 in pretty good shape but in need of major restoration. I will try to attach pics but not sure how.
Civvy steel work needs removing but original "long box?" still there. Also lights have been modified. Where did the spare wheel go - or was there reliance on run-flats?
Wheels have been changed to 7.00x16 which was a mod apparently available from Princess Auto in Ontario in the 50's / 60's. Original wheels and two tires are in the box.
Would like to know if this long box was a radio type, given all of the storage bins.
The oil filter is mounted on the inside of the dash! Not original surely?
Engine will probably require major work - anyone know of a good flathead 8 restorer in Ontario?
Original dataplates are in place:
Serial 21435 11/7/41 (- is this July or November?)
Motor 2G 45176-F
Model F-8
S/M OR C/D 98
Anyone have a spare -roof hatch, front tow rings,marker lights,crank handle, rear pintle spring, Ford rad badge.....
HELP! Can't seem to attach photos!
