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 did order and received The 37 Ford book from the Online Store. The section regarding the radio receiver was very limited and did not indicate where the location of the Tee Bolts were located, nor were there and diagrams on that subject. I was however very impressed with the vast amount of information regarding the 37 Ford, and glad I took your advise to purchase the book. Without the help from members of this forum I would be clueless on how to mount the radio received. Thank you very much for all of your assistance. Have a Happy and safe New Years!!!

That black piece above the steering column is the correct location for a Ford installed radio. The radio head (controller) is located in center of instrument panel (as stated above).

Yes, looking at the picture, the left Tee-Bolt is located close to the throttle rod.

I no longer own the car so I can't take a photo of the underside of the dash. However, if you enlarge the attached picture below you can see the right side of the radio chassis under the dash with the radio-head conduit connected to it....

Thanks, your reply is very helpful. From your photo, is one of the Tee - Bolts located near the throttle rod? By chance could you also take a view of the underside of the dash?
Thanks again !!

If I recall correctly, there should be two 'dimples' on the firewall to drill out for the correct "Tee-Bolt" location. You can see the two bolts in the picture I've attached below. In the picture they are located just below the bend in the firewall where it goes from an angle to vertical....
