I have sprint service as well. Our plan allows us to add several phones at $10 per month each and share calling minutes. Last year I tried out the...
Are you planning on keeping the stock clutch setup on the '31? If so this answer is very true. The half bell and the full bells used different...
The few I have done were machined just prior to assembly, so no real experience. When I was looking at my flatheads though, my uncle suggested...
skidmarks is right on, you have a light duty 3 speed there and the bell that you need. Its basically the same trans as the column shift trans you...
Thanks Ray, I did mean the truck HD 4 spd only for that comment, and I really based that comment on what I know of the older transmissions. But I...
Check the 6 cyl 3 spd on the floor again, I don't think it is a 3 spd but likely a HD 4 speed with granny gear. It was my belief that Ford didn't...
Agreed this sucks, I hope everything works out for you Chris. Stude, an Idea I had. My cell service is through Sprint. For $10 per month I can...
I have been reading with interest. I cannot justify buying one of the "better" models of auto dark. I will likely do very little welding in the...
Definitely look for a vacuum hose. There should be a vacuum modulator on the back of the trans that does the shifting. You could trace it from...
So the place that I ordered the tie rod ends from agreed to send me another one, I had to pay for it, they said they would send a mailer with it...
Thanks Havi. Like I said I really don't think they are different enough to matter and I don't think either lubricate well, that's why I mixed the ATF.
Since I have been putting on a bunch of miles on my '63 this summer, I decided to replace the tie rod ends and center link. I ordered all 4 tie...
Havi, why diesel and kerosene? They are almost the same fuels so I just don't understand why that combination would work? If it is that kerosene...
I don't think it matters for the answer but is it car or 1/2 ton truck. In '49 the cars got a full bell housing between the engine and...
Its a bolt in all the way back to '42.
An engine is a type of motor.
I wish they had better records, I do think you are right about the HP. I would say that would be true about the 4 cyl as well at 30 HP. Gunnell...
Like I say I would be speculating on the difference in fuel economy between the 221 V8 and the 226 I6. But because they were the same size and the...
hudsy-wudsy, I think you are close when you consider what was produced for fuel economy during the depression. The V8 60 at 136 CI was much...
Is this the same pair of rods that you had the problem with originally?
"USA uses one set of bearings per 2 rods, full floating...cuts total friction, almost eliminates rod problems at high load or rpm, costs more,...
A buddy of mine paid a cousin of his to replace a singe piston in a 305 Chev because he blew a hole in it with a leaky head gasket. My buddy asked...
Looks like it might also be from an F1. They were about that width (60.5") and 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern as well. The F1 has spring spacing of 40" on...
I was just running through every possible combination after installing the new turn signal switch to make sure that the function was right (the...
So I have been driving the Falcon a bunch this summer. I stole it from my old man earlier in the summer since I sold the truck. I have been having...
Don't modern Mustangs have rear coils?
The '53 truck 3spd should be a side shift trans. This is a little less desirable than the older toploader. It has potential so I wouldn't say no...
I took these two picts of my 1946 pickup clutch / brake assembly before I sold everything. Maybe they will help? Looks like the rod that goes into...
Are you planning on doing something with the truck cab? Again I say check all the SN, would having the "whole" truck be easier to get a title for...
The cab on the Ford is the same as the 1/2 ton trucks. It looks to be in much better shape than either of the ones I had. All the front sheet...
