Don't know why the kingpin wedge bolts/turn stops aren't there, really need them. Also good thing someone didn't cut off the cross steering rod...
That is so right, any hacking would be so wrong.
I didn't use an F1 box because I didn't like the look of the "hoop" I tried to use with my later round back spindles, or the drag link itself. To...
I had the front part of one. it's narrower in front so I suggest changing ends with it. I put my radiator behind the front crossmember , from then...
Mercury has one piece pinion driveshaft. Also high gears, more HP.
used heavy sheet & gas welded all except the mounts. put the dash gauge fitting in the back next to the filler. It's open access because I have a...
I am NOT fussy, for an old flapper I would pie cut a bunch of times & make them wrap around. But you obviously don't have that level of project...
I moved my stock filter can to the firewall to reduce ugly. Flex line = grease gun hose
Another "oh s**t " I encountered while assembling, got the crowfoot lock in wrong, or missed it. In the case of the split guides I use, can get it...
There are a bunch of pics here, most of the A project if the link works: http://s845.photobucket.com/albums/ab12/barrylm/ I don't believe there...
Just pulled mine to change wheel cyls., been 6 years. Not much pressure, little pop. Was a tough job to get it apart first time, super clean,...
Once I de-rust something I always paint it, especially what will rust again. I use dish or car wash soap on my cleaned rubber for mounting ease &...
After cutting it in the middle long and whittling with the grinder & square until it fit snug I tacked it. I made frames for roller bearings that...
Drums are not reproduced, yet, so less than .060 oversize 12" are hard to find & NOS are golden. I guess because so many of us like um.
Texas doesn't grow trees of any size or value, whack em. Southern pine is shit to build with, Mesquite makes good knife handles &BBQ, that's it
Double bones outside
Shouldn't be too hard to find a model A frame although they are not a 75 or 100 dollar item anymore, what I paid for mine. The post war axles are...
Maybe depends on the length, I used early axles & tube and forget the actual shaft length. But I recall the first cut was 18.5" and trimmed the...
The bare shaft has to go through the seal near the end of the taper, same part no. as the axle seals. Original seal may be leather, & swollen? I...
I have a 21 stud that almost have $1500 into, but a lot of parts were NOS stuff bought cheap on the 'bay. New parts for a 21 stud would go around...
Every time I run out of room I make another work space. Now no room for more tables, I have them all piled with crap. The welding table has a...
may be able to help out, PM'd
My '36 with edmunds had an extension brazed to the top end. I have a Fenton for the next '37 motor, haven't got that far yet put probably that...
I cut the factory weld & pull the forging out of the center. I used the Speedway bungs that take the factory ford tie rod ends. If doing that, you...
Early or late motor? Late motors you can get rings & bearings at napa, gasket set is about $75, not far out of whack. Early motors, 'spensive,...
When someone shows up to"buy all the parts", I'd say good except the piece someone else already spoke for. If it falls through, then you get next...
pics of a couple. Kenc.t. is the cheif engineer and will know the whole story, maybe here but for sure on fordbarn.
Ditto, thought getting the tool from the snap-on guy was the answer but still errors occur, even in the vise mounted clamp. Still beats a 40 mile...
I have a wad of 94's and have overhauled a bunch of them. I didn't keep track of the specifics, as in the universal kits in relation to models...
I found a spec book in the library, not a loaner so I copied a bunch of data. Notes from it showed the wide 5's were 3 1/2" with 550 tires on 60...
