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:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

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!)

Good Morning--

Welcome to the Early Ford V8 Club !

OK - to your question. I am going to have to plead ignorance to most of it, as I do not own a 36 pickup (1940 Sedan instead) and am not familiar with Belgium's Motor Vehicle licensing requirements.

But all is not lost!

Scroll over to the left part of the screen (dark blue section) and click on "Online Store". Click on the link for "Ford Books". The 1935/'36 Ford Book should give you SOME, but not all of the technical info you need. An excellent book.

Your best source for assistance will be my fellow Club members who own 1936 pickups. They should be able to help you with more specific information for purposes of your registration. The Forum website is a great place for communicating with Club members.

Good Luck.

Tom

Hi, welcome to the Early Ford V8 world..
I have have had a lot of experience with the '35 through '41 Ford 1/2 ton trucks. In some respects the available info for the pre WWII trucks is quite sparse. The original owners manual was a very thin unbound booklet that contained very little technical information.
I would suggest that you look around Belgium to see if you can locate people that have Early Ford V8's.
Is you vehicle a US vehicle or is it European ? left or right hand drive?
There were a lot of '35-36 and later Ford trucks made in Germany prior to WWII. Ford was very active all over Europe in the '30s...

I agree with everything that Bill has said.

The thing that has me stumped is exactly what your Motor Vehicle Department needs in order to register the truck for use in Belgium. Vehicle specifications/measurements? Engine size or type? Not sure what you need in regard to a "conformity certificate", as I have never heard the term before for registering an antique vehicle in the U.S.

Like Bill indicated, stuff about pre-war Ford pickups is very hard to find.

If your Motor Vehicle Department can be more specific as to what they need to register the truck in Belgium - a letter would be most helpful, my fellow members can help you with what knowledge and documents that they can share.

I did an E Bay search - "1936 Ford pickup Owners Manual". I found 2 books for sale.

"1936 Ford Truck Owner's Manual User Guide Reference Operator Book Fuses Fluids". Brand new. Sells for $18.19US.

I also found "1936 Ford V8 V8 Owners Manual User Guide". New. Sells for $20.29US. That one may contain, primarily, info and specs on the 1936 passenger cars.

I don't know anything about the authenticity of either book, or what they have in them. But they may have info needed by your Motor Vehicle Department.

Take a look at both of them - "eBay.com" and do a search as I outlined above.

bonjour wmsteed, mon 36 est importé de californie avec le VIN:181444137 et plus précisément un extrait de ce qu'ils me demandent dans le mail: (En principe il faut fournir une copie des documents mais comme il s’agit d’un ancien véhicule et en plus hors UE, il faudra une fiche technique constructeur reprenant les données techniques de ce véhicule (masse max totale, par essieu, cylindrée, puissance…)pour pouvoir l’immatriculer par la suite.) lien : https://www.rdclassics.com/classic-cars/ford/model-67/top-zustand-12652974

Bonjour ganjaaaaa.

Je suis membre du club a Canada. Je ne parle pas couramment le francais, mais peut-etre assez pour communiquer.

Nous avons ici dans notre collection de litterature un publication de Ford of USA qui s'appelle "The 1936 Ford V-8 Trucks". Il y a beaucoup d'information la-dedans avec photos et specifications sur le sujet de camions V-8 construits par Ford a Dearborn pendant l'annee de 1936.

Tres grand. Seize pages. Condition tres bon. Detaillee incroyablement ....... Ford V-8 pickup 112 inch chassis, Deluxe panel delivery, panel delivery, sedan delivery et station wagon. Et aussi les camion plus grands.

Si tu veux, je pourrais montrer ici sur le EFV8 Club web site un photograph de chaque page. Et puis, tu peux les montrer a la Ministere de Transportation en Belgique.

Ca va? C'est une bonne idee?

Ford had a Salesman handbook for 36 with all the data I believe you need such as weight and dimensions. If someone has a copy it would be nice to scan the pages and post them here. You can find information on Van Pelt sales web page that covers serial numbers.
