Hi all, I've lurked and leeched knowledge from the forum for years.
This winter I picked up a 1953 F350, that I have neither the time nor money to work on ;-) It is rusty, has a couple dents, needs cab corners, all the glass is cracked, none of the electrical works, and the passenger door won't stay closed. Other than that it is perfect.
I'll spend some time trying to figure out what I have and probably fix the wiring mess a little. A 400 (so says the air cleaner) with a C6 (so says the 17 bolts on the tranny pan) was swapped into it at some point. When I got it, a rear brake was locked up and it wasn't turning over. A little rednecking and I had it running and moving, but I think the starter has a dead spot.
I'll probably go post in the 400 engine forum to see if anyone can help identify where the swap came out of, if for no other reason to at least buy a replacement starter.
