All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.

VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I Have A Noise In The Right Rear Wheel. I Was Told It Was a Bad Wheel Bearing And I Replaced The Wheel Bearing With A New One. This Did Not Solve The Problem. Can Someone Tell Me What Else The Problem May Be And What Do I Do To Fix It. Many Thanks To All Who May Assist Me. 21jimmie 5-12-10

jimmie, The rear wheel bearing rides on the axle housing, which becomes worn on the underside, where the weight of the car produces almost all the friction the bearing sees. The wear is readily visible (only on the underside) upon removal of the drum and bearing.

The solution is to remove the differential assembly, dismount the axle housings, and send them out to be lathe turned, and have replacement sleeves pressed on. As this requires the skill of a machinist and a large lathe, except for the disassembly and reassembly, it is one of the few jobs that cannot be accomplished by a backyard mechanic. Gotta let go of some cash for this one.

C and G EARLY FORD PARTS,
I think has a undersize bearing and a metal sleeve so you can do it on the car and save you a lot of work,
www.cgfordparts.com this is thier web site,
hope this helps, KEEP ON TRUCKIN 37RAGTOPMAN
update,
I tried the C&G web site, saw no reference to the repair sleeve and undersize bearing, repair, only had the original ones with a rebuilding service, by you sending them you axle tubes to get redone,I THOUGHT,,I SAW IT SOMEPLACE, in HEMMING'S MOTOR NEWS,
WAS the old beaaring bad ????
the surface that gets all the use is the bottom of the axle tube beaaring surface, clean it off and examine.
make sure you check the front bearing also,
remember NOISE TRAVELS ,and do not rule this out,!!!

C&G does carry good quality repair sleeves, but I've never seen an undersized bearing that would accommodate a sleeve that was just put over a damaged housing. I doubt that would last long with an irregular surface under the sleeve. You didn't mention what kind of noise you were having. While a hub bearing can make a grinding noise on a rough housing, there are other possibilities. If you properly repacked the replacement bearing with the fibrous yellow grease, the noise should gone away, at least for a while.
