If the FC-150 is a Mugly Other, the FC-170 is a Big Mugly Other.

Did you have it stuck back in a box that you hadn't searched through, or did you find a source for it somewhere?

That lil' D12 is so freakin' cute. It looks like a tractor only a lot smaller.

Keeping Our Cool - Revisited

In the last post on this I made the comment: "Now I just need to change out that dripping, pizzling cheap plastic radiator drain plug with a real brass petcock –...

After sitting 40-years, I suspect you are going to find a lot of seals that leak. The '48 truck sat 35-years and we just replaced every seal we saw. And - even so, I've had to replace a couple that...

The two screws that act as contacts have shoulder wshers (insulating washers) to isolate them from the case. Make sure they are there and working. If the screw that goes directly to the battery...

As I said earlier in the week:

Gee, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

The FC-series trucks were similar in concept to the original Ford Econoline vans; get the most cargo space as possible for a given wheelbase. You...

Fuel filters in the tank seem like a good idea until you realize that if they do their job, sooner or later, they are going to clog and need replacement.

I'd suggest you add a new filter between...

Yep, same thing in airplanes...

One of my favorites is the one undersized pin that won't lock into the backshell and then backs out when you engage the connector
