Ford made a piece for '41-'48 Mercury so they could use the same Ford front axle and wishbone and move it forward on the longer chassis. I'll...

As others have noted, Ford made the parts you need, since '42--'50 Ford pickups use an open drive version of the '39 toploader. Same trans case...
There's a '60 Merc like the one Maverick Daddy posted at Yarbrough Auto Parts near Aragon GA.
Can't remember if Model Ts had cross steer or a push-pull drag link to the left spindle, but in either case I'm not sure how he worked the...
Where are they located? Maybe a HAMBer who lives close to their location could check them out for you.
Whoever grafted the '38 Standard front clip onto the '37 cab did a good job. Looks factory. I always liked the '38 Standard front sheet metal.
Also be sure you are measuring the width correctly--it is an inside measurement between the surfaces that the tire bead seals against. There are...
On my '55 Ford, there are a couple of rubber plugs on the transmission tunnel to allow access to the top bellhousing bolts.
Ozelle the '55 Ford, Fairlane Town Sedan, 3 on the tree. I am pulling my hair out getting the clutch adjustment right. No matter how I adjust the...
Looks like a '41-'46 Chevy or GMC.
BB before the 18 means its a truck with the granny gear 4 speed.
The slant 6 came in 170, 198, and 225 versions. The 225 had the longest run and is the most common. I used to have a '69 A-100 van with slant 6...
Not a Ford wheel, and I'm not familiar with what else has the same bolt pattern. '28-'29 A wheels were 21", '30-'31 were 19", '32 only was 18",...
On my '38 Ford pickup (same basic frame as your '35, I got the leaf springs and torched the spring hangers off an '80 Isuzu pickup (Chevy Luv was...
The spring should be a hardware store item. I think I remember replacing one on a '55 Chevy pickup I used to have. It was originally a 6...
I got NOS window regs and door latch mechanisms for the '38 Ford pickup from Obsolete Ford Parts down at Nashville GA. At one time they had a...
I was about to say what Brando1956 posted. Front cab supports on those trucks were prone to rust out and let the front of the cab drop down and...
