Milestone
Firstly,
Thanks Mike and Keith for the comments and photo's. Good to know there have been other trucks in service with the ARN on the door. I am still pinching myself as this day has proved to be elusive over the past couple of years... but the engine is in!!!! Still a long way to go and I hope it proves to be a successful start up. But hey! I am very happy at this point in time.

Hi Lynn
Will take picture of can tomorrow.
My engine, it turns out is a '46 C69A and has had a postwar rebuild by Ford. Block has an AVR number on it to verify this. Would also indicate it is not the original engine. So I guess I am using a bit of licence with the colour selection. It is a Ford blue and may have come out a little later but I do believe some of these rebuilds did use this colour.

Paint
Here it is Lynn as promised. Engine enamel in a can.
AVR number for the record and another stamping that I am not familiar with.

Quick update
Firstly..
Thanks Tony. That's very handy information to know. I'm not sure I would have ever found that out. Will be interesting to see if the RTA have any records of this truck and engine number. Doesn't look like a lot of progress but I have been putting in some hours. Figured out (with the aid of an excellent tutor) how to set the points. I bought a timing fixture at a swap meet yonks ago and managed to track down a set of instructions on how to use it. John and I did two dizzy's and the fixture got them absolutely spot on.

Timing
Good to see old skills being passed down the generations. Nice to see John at work and the progress on your F15 as well.
