Thanks for inserting the photos for me Todd.

Now I am going to try loading one to the site on my laptop instead of my home PC. In this photo you will see the front of the 58 (Black) and then the 57 (Blue & White)in the background if it works.

Works fine from here, Whats happening with my home PC?

Todd,

That Y is in my 57, you may see in one photo it sitting in the background, the 58 has the 223 and for some reason the y setup in the 57 is factory with the loadomatic and 3 bolt carb. They changed the distributors, manifolds and carbs to the later style on the cars but for trucks the cahnge came later, probably for 58 because my 58 F500 has the later style.

OK! I was searching for "Billy" or "Y Block Billy"

Here you go...looks like a solid grab to me! Always love seeing big window 57-60's around...that y-block looks like it just came off a stand...is it an earlier engine? Just noticed the 94 carb, thought those stopped in '56...looks like you scored a nice tailgate too! I bought a NOS gate for waaaaay too much before I found out that Carpenter makes perfect repops:sick:

What's the link to the HAMB thread? What's your handle over there?

Thanks for the offer Todd but Ted already made the offer also, its not that important, I just want my service functioning properly. Its like a car that is misfiring, I want to fix it.

Moonshadow, I try copying and pasting also, still no dice. My server is Fairpoint and I think it may have something to do with the communication between them and the site. Like mentioned before, I posted pics to the HAMB yesterday but can't here.

And one more time, I disabled my firewall for this site. I did get to post on the HAMB some pictures, maybe it will work here this time.

Nope, the minute I hit the insert photo icon my explorer is still going to non responsive.

Administrators? any ideas?

You can look up Y Block Bill on the H.A.M.B. and look in my albums I started to create.

I think he's talking about his '58 F-100...can't wait to see pics also!

Yeah, I have a soft spot...

I reset my explorer, appears to be working better, lets try again.

Nope, it instantly shuts down my explorer, the blue bar at the top of the screen fades out the minute I hit insert picture. I close the insert picture frame and the blue bar lites back up and explorer becomes active again. The insert picture function is not communicating with explorer properly.

Any guru's know what might be going on?

Ted, Appreciate the thought of inserting the pictures for me but I need to figure out my computer and want it functioning properly.

Billy. If you’ll email me the picture, I’ll insert it into your post while at the same time look at the picture properties and possibly find something that will help with your posting problem. My email address is under the contact information at www.eatonbalancing.com .
