Subject: Re: 300D Sure-Grip Jacking instructions
I just noticed that on my Jack bumper hook is a sticker that obviously is
showing its age, in fact I can't read all of it. Is this sticker
reporduced?
It is red print. Before I remove it I would like to know if others have it
since it might tear.
What I can see reads as follows:
JACKING INSTRUCTIONS

"SURE-GRIP" DIFFERENTIAL

off the ground???????????

opposite wheel blocked???

Chris et al,
There may indeed have been a problem with the rear springs. In May '58 I
bought a nice C300 from the original selling dealer in Wichita, with about
55,000 miles on it (original owner was a salesman!). A year later, now
with
about 70,000 miles on it, I noticed a couple of broken rear leaves, and
upon
investigation found two bad ones on each side. As far as I know the car
was
never abused, so there may have been a problem with the leaves being a bit
too brittle.

Surprise everyone with you 300 at the races by replacing the front drum
brakes with disc brakes. There are companies here in the USA that sell
bolt
on kits and your 300 can be returned to stock at your pleasure.

Subject: Springs on Australian 300Cs
Are these cars all export editions or U.S. cars transferred after
original sale?? I seem to remember reading that there were "Kit
cars" assembled in LA that were export vehicles. Some had
the "Chrysler" logo on lower right trunk, and had bolted front clips
on Windsor bodies. They might have had the springs, too. About twenty-
five years ago I shipped a grill to a guy in Thailand for a C. That
car was an export 300 and had weirdities, also. Might measure
diameters on torsion bars and see if U.S. spec.
There were 10 exported convertibles and I can't remember how many
coupes (90 ???). 1957 was a tough year as 300 bodies were about the
only ones that fit!!!

Subject: G tansmission cooler lines
Good evening,
Here's an odd question. Keep in mind that the car was taken to a bare
shell. I have just installed the radiator and was attaching the
transmission cooling lines which are brand new stainlenss steel.
I can't tell which line goes on the top (pressure, I think) fitting on
the transmission and which goes on the bottom fitting of the
transmission. Which fiiting on the transmission does the line from the
left side of the radiator go to?
Perhaps it does not matter. After forgetting to install the lines
BEFORE the exhaust cross over pipe was installed, I had to tweak the
lines slightly to install them. Hence, I cannot tell definitevely which
goes where?
Best regards,
Richard Osborne

HI WAYNE,I HAD OCCASION TO SPEAK WITH A LEADING REPRODUCER OF VIN &
TRIM TAGS
6 MONTHS BACK. HE WILL NOT DUPLICATE A TAG UNLESS HE RECEIVES PROOF
OF
OWNERSHIP. THAT PROOF WAS A PHOTO OF THE "KIEKHAEFER" 300 B DRIVEN
BY BUCK
BAKER. I HAVE THE SAME DIECAST & DESCRIBED IT TO HIM IN EVERY
DETAIL. IT
SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE IS TRYING TO CAPITALIZE ON THIS CAR'S
REPUTATION. WAYNE,
YOU'RE RIGHT! CHECK OUT THE VIN &/OR TRIM TAGS & I'LL BET ONE OR THE
OTHER IS
REPRODUCED IN THE "FORD" FONT. THE 300B WAS DRIVEN BY BUCK BAKER.
WAS TIM
FLOCK THE OWNER? MY COMPUTER DIED A WEEK BACK & I'M NOT TIED INTO
THE 300
GROUP YET. WOULD YOU KINDLY FORWARD THIS FOR ME. THANX, STEVE ESTOK

Subject: 57 power steering pitman/sector shaft seal.
Hi list,
My local parts guy only has a listing back to 58 for the sector shaft seal
on the power steering box. Is that the year of a change from 'coaxial' to
'gear and sector'?
I need the lower seal on my 57, and don't know if the 58 part will fit.
If someone knows the answer, or better yet, a part number for 57, please
let me know.
Thanks,
John

Usual reliable source tells me that Gary Ball in Indiana has both a 354
and a
392 engine he'd like to sell. His phone is 574 457 2880. I know him not
nor
any details of these engines.
