The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

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.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
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!)

Sorry about the incorrect Email, it should be idalinc@windstream.net
I am only aware of the 1936 F7354 "SERVICE & LUBRICATION BOOK" and can give a full description of it. As far is known, this was not included from the assembly branch in every 36 but only offered as an option by the Dealer. Similar books dealing with Service& Lubrication (only) may have been offered for other years. But they would be difficult to fully identify as most of the various Ford literature and references mention them in only a few words. These books were placed in the glove box due to their small size.

I would like to limit my search for more information to the Service and Lubrication Book that was put in the glove box of new cars. I have provided a photo of a typical Book, above. The dealer filled in the vehicle information and date on one page. I agree that Form 202 was post war. I would like to find out when Ford started to provide the Books and what book is proper for what years. In order to do this I am looking for the different books, and then to Service letters regarding their date of issue. Lincoln your email address above does not work.

I believe Form 202 is for 1945 and later as I found some in a FORD dealer who started in about 1945. These were not filled out. F202 has about 30 pages and entitled "FORD LUBRICATION & INSPECTION-SERVICE". If you are looking for one for the 1940 FORD, they issued F7130 of 12-39 entitled "OWNER'S SERVICE CERTIFICATE", which was good for TEN(10) lubrication & maintenance services over a years time. This 7 1/8 x 4" size folder was Blue/Creme& Black and came in a Yellow & Brown envelope.FORD also issued a similar one dated 5-40. Do not know if they had a book for lubrication alone. F7354 was for the 1936 FORD and entitled "SERVICE INSPECTION & LUBRICATION BOOK". F7354 came in an ALEMITE (grease gun) folder.
I am aware of about eleven different form numbers for lubrication or service or inspection pieces of literature as issued from 1932 to 1945. There were probably more issued if one was to research the subject.
Hope this helps. LINCOLN idalinc@windstream.com

If anyone has the small Ford glove box "Lubrication Book" the one with the coupons for free service, if the book is filled out with the date of issue by the dealer. If you could fordware me the date and the FORM number from the rear cover I would appreciate the assistance. If you have a book with form numbers different than 202, 7354,7792 I would appreciate a scan or photo if possible. trboich@yahoo.com
