Tire?
Those tires were on the 13 inch riims that came withe the truck , i believe they are 10.5x13.
they are quite abit larger than the 9.00 x13 . But they are all showing their age. I ll probably end up ordering the Trellborg imp. tires from the local tire shop . Anthony

trottle problems
After intstaling the engine it became obvious the throtttle linkage can't work with the newer distributor so this is what I came up with.
So it would have been easier to use the original engine it looks like this one should work fine.

Finished guage cluster
The dreaded job of restoring the cluster is completed . I found a set of guages from a 1948 ford car , thats why they are silver colored. Ordered a speedometer sticker from Mac's ,some spray paint and good as new.
on a note, as far as i could tell all ford guages from the 40's fit in these clusters .
