Back a few years there was a glass 32 5w build and then it ended being "stolen"?? I saw this listing on that auction site today of a glass 5w...
I wanted the 5x5.5 b0lt pattern for my project. I bought a F-100 axle and had it narrowed to the early bronco width. I bought the early bronco axles.
Yes, the 1928 open car door latches fit the 27 door. The 28 latches need a separate knob where the T latch had just the lever as part of the...
Yes, the brace is original. Not sure it came on all of them but I have it on my 60 Ranchero. Not sure it will clear a V8 but use it if it does...
How does a '48 Ford ragtop staff car get used in WWII?? WWII was 1939 to 1945...
My '58 Custom 300 on the way home in August 2016.. Plans are a mild 390 with a 4 speed.
My last system did exit past the rear bumper through a single glasspack. I liked it for the most part but was a bit too much on the highway....
I did upgrade to a mild cam, oversize valves and flat-top (2.3 HSC) pistons while I was in the motor.
[ATTACH] Thanks for opening this old thread, it's exactly what I want to know.. I have my 60 Ranchero with a 200 inline six. I recently...
From what I understand, Ford had different molds for casting cylinder blocks and at times the rear mold for a 427 was used on a plain 390 block....
I've been told one the reasons to do this is make it easier to have a later (49-53) flathead in a '33 or 34. The late distributor presents many...
Interesting thread.. being I was born in 1957, I've had this itch for many years to get either a 1957 or 1958 Ford. I wasn't set on a 1957...
What are your plans for the Comet? Are the hubs 4 lug on the Maverick? What motor, trans? If it was me, I'd grab all the suspension and rear...
Awful lot of green grass and green trees in that video for middle February. Are you sure it was taken today?
The new latch is "square" and doesn't go up under the inner panel where you see the screw above. That screw is one of the four that attach the...

I am collecting parts for a 1927 T roadster build and decided I wanted to put new latches in my doors instead of trying to free up the old ones...
I've bought TCP Global paint based on their online paint chip. The paint I got wasn't even close to what it looked like online. It was supposed...
If it was mine, I'd go this route.. then upgrade the brakes and do a 5 lug swap at the same time. A Maverick rear end works well if you swap...
From my experience, it was on the ID plate on the glove box door. My F-100 said 3.92 for the Dana 44 behind the straight six.
Ummm. just WOW!!!
I think big Mercury's and Lincolns in the 1970s used some 9" rear ends with the 5 on 5 bolt pattern. Pretty sure Mark V Lincolns were that way....
that one looks to be a 4 speed. I don't think they used that tranny in pickups opting instead for the T18 / T19 with a granny gear for a 4 speed.
I believe there is an early Falcon exhaust manifold for the left side that is more of a center dump or more of a forward angle to the dump. If...
My daily driver is a '60 Ranchero with a 200 in it from a 1975 Maverick. I've made some small changes to a stock motor so I'll pass those on. I...
Very nice!! I'd like to see more pictures of your T. And details on your suspension, if you would.
I did a quick search on Rockauto.com and yes, FE lifters are the same as for the 200/250. 289/302 has lifters with a different number so I don't...
Here's mine with a fresh dusting..
It used to be a common swap to put the 390 into the 1955 and 1956 Fords. I don't know what frame differences there are for the 1954 Ford or...
Hardwick, England: My great uncle flew out of there on B-24s before going to Libya and then going on the infamous raid to Ploesti Romania. He...
