Commercial-type sales postings will not be 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!)

I have a 36 australian made roadster ute. I need a new fuel tank but I don't know if I should order one for a passenger car or a pickup. C&G lists different numbers for each. Anyone have any idea? Are they the same tank? Finally got new heads on it now the tank is giving me fits.Its been patched in a couple of places and its pretty beat up, just need a new one. thanks Kenny

Kenny:

Hopefully someone "Down Under" will respond; but here in the US, our trucks had the fuel tank
also functioning as the seat base, and on the cars, it was mounted behind the rear spring
mount/crossmember. I would speculate that a "UTE" is more like a US car than a truck, and I'd also guess that if it mounts in the rear, then a car tank should work.

Striker, thanks for the reply. I didn't know where the fuel tank was located on a 36 pickup. My 51 is behind the seat,I believe the ute will use a passenger car tank. It is located behind the spring between the frame. I'll get one ordered in the morning. I've had this truck for a few years and I'm excited to drive it. Should be a challenge setting on the wrong side! Thanks again, Kenny

Our 36 Pickups were built on a commercial chassis which had the same wheelbase as the passenger chassis and had the gas tank in the rear of the chassis as did your Ute. Because of body shape the pickup gas tank was different than the passenger car. You need to do more investigation before you purchase your new tank. I am posting some images from several brochures that I have seen in the past that should lead you in the right direction. It appears from the images that the Ute used a passenger car gas tank and that the gas filler neck came out thru the left side rear fender. YOU NEED TO VERIFY THIS!!

Don, or anyone with information, I have a question about the ute air cleaner shown in the chassis picture. I have seen these on US cars and would like to know if these were used on any US production cars.

The Big air cleaner shown on the Ute chassis is typical of the large oil bath air cleaner used by Ford in 35/36. It carried part # 51-9625 and was used on trucks, commercial vehicles and passenger cars. With the introduction of a smaller "hat" type oil bath cleaner in April of 1935(48-9625-B)the bigger cleaner saw limited use.

Don, thanks for the response. I did not ask the right question before. The big oil bath air cleaner is familiar and shown in the excellent 35-36 book. Is the mounting assembly which takes it over to the passenger side of the engine correct for passenger cars? I have a 36 phaeton and use that book often.

Don The Oil bath can be mounted on a truck engine or passenger car engine. The dimensions are identical!!
