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:

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!)

Have you checked the service bulletins? Would they accept a reprint of the service bulletins? Would they accept the clubs restoration guidelines? Your vehicle looks great.

Nice looking commercial vehicle! I would contact both Don Rogers for his 36 knowledge and Dave Rehor because he has spent so much time in Fords foreign offices. Look for the vehicle "Serial number" stamped into the top of the frame side rail near and to the rear of the intersection of the front cross member (under the horn in your photos). The number may start with a star, then the number and finish with a star. If the vehicle was USA produced passenger vehicle, the number will start 18- followed by 7 digits. The numbers will change if the vehicle was Canadian produced. Look for your number to include letters. The numbers on the "BODY NUMBER" tag on the engine side of the firewall is place there by the body manufacturer and not Ford. You may want to look on the glass for any "Bugs" with Ford name and a dates. All of this information will not tell you a lot of details about the vehicle ownership. Good Luck

The question (s) pertaining to the lineage/documentation of the pre '49 Fords comes up on a regular basis, generally ending in the same manner..
The vintage Ford serial numbers were assigned to the engine/trans assembly at the engine plant in Dearborn by Ford, the assembly was then shipped to the respective plants for incorporation into a vehicle. The serial number was then transferred to the chassis, therefore the serial number really means nothing, because it is a sequential engine/trans number only, having no bearing on the model, style, ect., of the vehicle.
For the most part Ford did not retain any documentation for their vehicles, the same is true of the various states, which have their own departments of motor vehicles.. Prior to about 1974, many states in the US did not title vehicle's..
If you have a clear title and valid registration on the vehicle, that is about as good as it will get.

You should look on the Store section of this web site for the book that includes your car.
