It blends in with all the earth moving machinery but It's a late model Toyota colour. Since I chose it there seems to be yellow cars everywhere.

My favourite was Ford "Yellow Blaze'. One thing with yellow it is high on the list of "safe colours" for highway visibility

Re: 1937 ford pickup build
Great to see the progress 37fordpu, I like the yellow, as Frank said Yellow Blaze is a favourite colour, I had a XB GS in that colour,
should never have sold that car, but like most of us marriage, mortgage, kids and lack of foresight get in the way.

Back from the painter now all I have to do is remember how everything fits

Great to see it all painted.
You will be like me maybe and look at photos to remember exactly how things went. Usually the minor small stuff.

Great colour!
Were a family of yellow cars.
I look forward to following along with the final reassembly.

Ditto. Bought mine about 1975. Sold it in 1978 when fuel was getting expensive. Those were the days!Newbee wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 8:07 pm Great to see the progress 37fordpu, I like the yellow, as Frank said Yellow Blaze is a favourite colour, I had a XB GS in that colour,

Hi long time between posts. I am hoping to pick your brains, I have a 5.0 ford with BTR auto gearbox. I just took it for a test run and it wont change out of low. I fitted an EF box but used the original EB2 transmission control module . Can anyone tell me if there is any difference between the years in the controllers.

Re: 1937 ford pickup build
Sounds like a speed sensor problem .
I seem to remember there is something in the dash/speedo you need ?

It has a new sensor but I will check to make sure it is working. Nothing in the dash is required but I remember the vn vp commodores had a signal splitter in the instrument panel.
