FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

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:

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 attached a photo of pages 28 & 29 of the V8 Times magazine Vol. No. 26 No. 4 covering restoration of the 39 Ford Mercury hot water heaters.
This shows the basic differences between the 39 & 40 heaters.

I Just Compared Your Heater To The Heater For My 1940 Ford And Everything Is The Same Except The Kick Plate At The Bottom Of Your Heater Does Not Have Slots in It And Mind Does. Someone Else Mentioned This Difference Also. You Only Show Part Of The Front Of Yours But It Is Just Like Mind. Unless The Front Of A 1939 Heater Is The Same As A 1940 You Have A 1940 Heater

The best info I have ever found on 39 & 40 Ford heaters is in the V8 Times Magazines. Vol. 26 No. 4 July/Aug. 1989 has the 39 Ford hot air & hot water heater restoration info and Vol.27 No. 1 Jan./Feb. 1990 has restoration info on 40 Ford hot air & hot water Heaters.

I agree that it is a 39 heater and the front cover would look like the photos posted of a front cover. It would have a restrictor on the center section to keep the left door from opening fully.

The spacing of the holes for the knobs on the doors is different from the similar looking 40 heater.
