1952-59 Ford W.T.B 53 Vicky parts

Hello,
Looking for a steering wheel for my Vicky and a driver side hood hinge. Hoping someone’s got a spare lying around.

Thanks

 

couple listings on ebay for pairs of hood hinges - used and rebuilt

 

Thanks will take a look , thought it might be easier here since I really only need one hinge.

 

Did you check the parts for sale on the main board? There is a guy selling some 52-53 stuff.

 

Thanks , will check it out.

 

Home Depot sells PB Blaster hinge lube get a can and lubricate them at least once a month to keep them working.

 

Thanks JeffB2
But will need more than PB Blaster, will try straightening out the hinge , but will still be on the lookout for one.

 

I repaired 1 of mine - it's a little bit of work/welding involved
drill out spot welds that hold "air vent" housing together to access hood arm rivet/pin
grind enough off to remove pin from plate, straighten arm, wled pin to plate, weld "air vent" housing back together... cup of cake!!

 

Do you have a piece of coffee with that cup of cake?

 

The PB is preventive maintenance They were a bad design in the first place but not lubing them will make them fail even sooner.

 

Si, Senor

 

Might have to give it go since I only need one, I like my cake in a cup as well “ no crumbs on the floor”
