Very nice Ken

My FC Ute gets called the 'Dute' because it's a daily driver and used to cart my two English Mastiffs and house Reno materials around.

I have a modified front bench seat in my FC Ute, currently running a Celica 5spd.  I'm contemplating going to a column shift trimatic and if I do I'l want an original bench for front.  Maybe a swap oud work?

he's dreaming on the FC van ................. 

thanks Ken

I'm sure this had been discussed previously and the topic usually generates lots of variations in opinion. 
It's been a long time since i've owned a vehicle powered by a Holden red motor (21 years) and there's been a lot of advancements in motor oils during that time.
So what engine oil do people run or recommend for a slighly modified mild red motor?
Just to make the discussion more robust I'll even throw the Synthetic v Mineral oil debate into the mix 

Thanks for the suggestions.  It has 13x5.5 front rims, maybe a wheel alignment is required, although it tracks straight

I'm new to the FC world (previously had HQ, HJ and Chevs) and have loads of questions to ask as I progress through my ute.

First one, is there a compatible power steering unit which can be fitted to a FC Ute without too many modifications?

Nice looking car David and so many memories to go with it

Ok, I've just tried using Imgur for the first time, so let's see if this works.

Hi, I've just joined the Forum after purchasing a FC ute yesterday.  I have a question, it is registered as a 1957 FC however every article I read indicates FC models didn't start until May 1958. 

The numbers are:-

Chassis  FC42011S
Body      FC2106-7220S
Trim      353-650
Paint     256-2058

Can anyone shed some light on this for me please.
