At NO point did I say that I would just throw the old one back in without inspecting it.....if someone can infer that from anything else I said in...
Yep.....FalconGeorge and Bruce understand what I'm getting at, and the sentiment I had in my original post. I'm not against buying new parts that...
When you say "end clearance", are you referring to the drive gear at the bottom of the pump (i.e. play in the shaft when pulled.....WAKKA WAKKA!!)...
I'm finishing up the rebuild on my 1950 flathead, and I'm considering reusing my oil pump. I've reused my cam and crank after having them...
1934 RPU (Open Cab Pickup to be exact) that I picked up earlier this year. The chassis is coming down later this year. I think total # is around...
Excellent build, I'm a huge fan of out of the box thinking on hot rods. I tried to do the same with my coupester, but yours is on an entirely...
AHHH...ok, I see it now. I do have the piece of metal that connects the stanchions that you mentioned. The wood on the inside was completely...
I have some questions about these 33/34 open cab pickups. I know they were the last years the model was offered, and that they were the cheapest...
Brief update on the engine that will be going in the truck, a 1950 8BA: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Mostly stock, .030 over, with a...
Here's mine...more post-war jalopy, but you get the idea. 5" chopped out of doors/subframe, belt line added around back of cab, doors narrowed....
Which shop did you have a bad experience with in the past? Ever talk to Burbank Speed?
I recently took ownership of a 34 Ford open cab pickup body, which has lettering on both the doors and hood. It looks like it has lead multiple...
Would putting louvers in it negate that effect?
After reading this awesome thread, I decided to start my own top based on your designs! I made the mounting tabs on the lip of the cab removable,...
Yeah, I get that....but since I would be converting any banjo rear to an open drive, I was curious as to what extra stresses might be placed on an...
I'm having my 8BA rebuilt to mostly stock here in Burbank, and I want to run a banjo rear end behind it. I know that finding the 41 and up open...
If it's dropped wrong, Joe is the type of guy to fix it and make it right. I have one of his 5" drops and it's dead nuts. I'm not saying folks...
I have a 69 PG behind a 305 in my A, and I used the SoCal K member. It's works great!!
Check out the bottom axle in this pic. If I'm not mistaken, it's one of those 1935 Worlds Fair jobs where they would twist them up and remount...
My wife is PAST-DUE with our 3rd child, looks like she's going to let it go any minute.....I had a free ticket from one of the ex-presidents of...
I ended up going with the VanPelt kit after talking with Mac for a bit. He answered all of my questions and knows the sources of his parts. It was...
Follow up question....and this is probably stupid, but can you reuse valves, etc?
On another note, I was looking at a set from Shaw City Engines.....til I read a lot of bad reviews, and at least one on here. I did buy some...
I just did a final price check on VanPelt....THIRTY TWO dollars shipping. That's insane, and only USPS!!!
Oh WOW....man, talk about kid in a candy store! I can't find their HAMB handle, do you happen to know it? I want to contact them and ask them...
I wonder who they sold all their stock to now?
WHAAAAAT? I just talked to them earlier this year!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Hey Bruce! So you think this kit would be appropriate?...
I've got a 1950 8BA truck motor being redone, and I'm shopping for valves. I know to stay away from the kits with the Chevy valves, as I've read...
I'm keeping the body elsewhere at my folks' place as I don't have any room here in Burbank at the moment. My A takes up all the space in my...
