  13. -> I'm looking around to buy an OLD Ford truck.  Does anyone know
  14. -> offhand what year ford switch their trucks from leaded to unleaded?
  15.  
  16.  Well, Ford didn't recommend leaded gas when it came out in the late
  17. '40s, but about '52 or so they said it would be OK, except lead buildup
  18. on the exhaust valves would cause burned valves eventually.
  19.  
  20.  Oh.  You mean thirty years after that, when they started taking the
  21. lead back out?  Depends on what load rating the truck was.
