Can anyone tell me where it might be? I am relatively new to these trucks. I purchased this "Big Bolt" about 1 1/2 years ago. It is a 1948 2-ton stake bed truck. I have been making progress on it, but very slowly. It was originally part of a pair of trucks that hauled a ferris wheel around western Pennsylvania. This truck has been sitting in a garage since 1979 so it needs lots of TLC, but it is close to being drivable finally. I used to have a 1950 Pontiac, so I was looking for the same type of oil filter canister on the side of the engine, but there isn't anything there. I have looked through both the owners manual and shop manual and haven't found anything regarding an oil filter! Is there even one on this truck?

Interesting handle- - - - - -isn't it going to get a little confusing, with both of us using the same name?

Yes, I guess the similar handle could be confusing. It has been my email address for many years so I just carried it over to here.

No offense to the new hot rod lincoln, but when I read this post I thought, 'What, Hotrod Lincoln doesn't know that the oil filters were an option on these trucks?' That really perplexed me as I know how knowledgeable he is with these trucks. Any hoo, welcome to the new hot rod lincoln. | | |
