Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

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:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. 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.
  8. 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!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

All 1940 conventional cab trucks had the same hood top ornament,hood release handle and grill side ornament. I cannot find the number 95 on any of these.

TomO: Our 1940 Ford farm truck was purchased new in So. Cal and had the 95 on it. I just always assumed it was common to all 40's that had the more powerful engine. Now I'm confused!

Stroker,

So am I. Where was the 95?

I found the P/N for the motor type tag. P/N 0??-8259-B, where the? is replaced by the motor type.

It says that it goes on the "radiator center ornament". Is this the hood ornament? It is not called that in the parts catalog.

TomO, it's been over 40 years since I last looked at that truck, but I believe it was at the leading edge of what I would call a hood ornament at the upper front of the hood. As I recall, it was a small round insert with "95" embossed. We also had a similarly equipped 41, but that did not have any such badge.

Stroker,

I was looking through my Service Letters for another reason and found the location of the badge on the upper hood ornament. The "95" was only available on the 134" chassis and larger, that is why I had never seen one. City boys like me did not get into trucks much and something that big was not on every corner.

Thanks for straightening me out.

Tom

TomO: Thanks for enlightening me as well as others. I was unaware of the 134 in. wheelbase tie-in.

Roadster 5440: Sounds like this emblem is not "rare" per-se, but was only used on big trucks with the 95 hp engine.
