Does any one have any measurement for drilling the holes for a side view mirror? I'm in the process of doing the final fit and alignment before paint! Any help would be appreciated!

What would be a factory engine color? I just primed my motor! Take note to the head! After rust removal I noticed I have a ford script head block?

To give an update! I pulled my motor and will be replacing the clutch, flywheel and painting the motor.� Much to my dismay the motor was stamped 1955 on the fly wheel.� I will try and post some pictures of this. So far i replaced the gaskets on the manifold oil pan and timing gear cover. The radiator was tested and held 14psi so i also add a 180D thermostat.� All new plugs 12v coil and wiring harness. I also replace all brakes, fuel lines and fuel pump.

I was rejected by all of the major companies!  I had to register the vehicle in my name and not a company name.  The best is i cannot register as a historic vehicle since all 6 of my trucks are in the company name. NJM allowed me to register my vehicle as a daily driver for 650$ a year with no collision.  I can't wait for MV !
