Thanks for the update Paul... :) So you've been driving your Nomad as a '2 seat sports car'.. :)
Taking heat from a frozen ice cube is a difficult task.. ;) But I haven't dealt with temps that low (except on a couple of 2 week trips@).. :)
Yes, I've seen yours Laszlo, but can't recall ever seeing what Paul did to his rear seat and cargo...?
Do you have photos of your rearseat??
Wow... That looks like a 'half million dollar' shop (or more).. With winter temps that get as low as you stated, I doubt a mini-split heat pump is going to work very well for heating (although it...
Are you sure?? Did you eliminate the rear seat and rear cargo floor (which used marine grade plywood originally)???

Great information Sid, although I doubt the original trifive wheels had those markings??
That old Ford is getting 'newer' and newer, Brian!! It should one of the most solid old Fords around once you get done! :)

Because it's the only one with a vent window... :)
Here is a link to a recent post on trifive.com which comes from a prior website that VS killed... It's long but informative.

The prior enthusiast owner of trifive.com (Otis - who has been frequenting this site recently) sold the trifive.com site to a company Vertical Scope who has bought up every auto related enthusiast...

FYI ... All of the '57 '265 ci engines', as denoted by the 'C' engine suffix were used with manual transmissions...
big window tri-fives have to be the most beautiful PU ever.. :)
you can't curse or fuss at your car if you want it to cooperate, Lazslo.. caress it when you walk by it.. play sweet 'easy listening music in your shop.. etc... Tell it how much you love it every...
Paul, My '56 Nomad when purchased had similarly colored Classic Instruments gauges installed, and they are VERY difficult fo rmy old eyes to see/read. I think if a higher contrast choice (black...

:) I don't know either, Lazslo. I was hoping you'd run that experiment for us so we'd all know.. :)
The battery can be viewed as a giant capacitor, which smooothes out spikes caused by such things as alternators, starters, etc..
If you have an oscilloscope, hook it up to the battery (and...
