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!)

I have a 1947 ford half ton which has had the engine rebuilt by Ford.
There is a tag on the engine but I'm not sure what it means. Does anybody have an idea of what this tag means. I have a picture of it attached.

Get your Ford chassis parts catalogue out.
Each one of the 4 digit numbers that is not hand stamped on the tag represents the part numbers that were used to rebuild the engine.
I can't make out the first two numbers
6211 -- rod bearing
6303 -- crankshaft
6331 -- crankshaft bearing-main
6333 -- crankshaft bearing-intermediate
The stamped numbers in the front are the year prefix and the stamped numbers at the end are the size prefix.

If you have a Ford chassis parts catalogue (Green Bible or individual year) you should be able to find the numbers there.

Hope this helps -- I am not an expert about this, but do know some information about the rebuild tag.

If it is a tag, not a stamped number, it probably was rebuilt at some time by an "authorized Ford rebuilder". The info wouldn't correspond with any Ford catalog.

This may be stretching my knowledge here, but I believe that the C is for Canadian, the 59 is the year designation (1946-47) and then the T, I believe stands for truck.
Ford used alpha characters to designate sizes. As Supereal mentions, RS maybe a Ford authorized re-manufacturing code.

This one has me puzzled. The Tag say
Rebuilt Ford Motor Company of Canada at Winsor Ont.
Did Ford Canada have crate engines
Because this truck came from Saskatchewan

You have to remember Ford wanted all of your business. They had small authorized re-manufacturing plants all over the US and probably Canada too. The idea was to bring your Ford back for service -- they would sell you a re-built generator, water pump, carburetor, starter, transmission, and engine at very reasonable costs.
You no doubt have a Ford rebuilt engine and the tag lets you know that. Most of the other parts had a decal instead of a tag.
