Merc-O here are before and after pics. Not a huge difference, but enough to see with the nude eye. I wanted the truck to look right, and that...
To answer your question Merc-O, the '39 deluxe grille is not I repeat NOT the same as a '41 truck. When I bought my '41 pu, it had a '39 deluxe...
I'd like to know also Oldsman. Surprised know one has offered a "how to" reply. It took me 4 months to figure out how to post a pic under my...
Tell him to fly to the USA, put the cash in your hand, and then HE can drive it to the shipper. There has to be a buyer in the US, why even bother...
I woke up to 27 degrees this morning, but sunny. Pulled the coupe out to show Bob K from Wis., and thought why not go for a cruise. Put about 60...
Thanks MJ. Now I know what NOT to use.
I want to redo the brakes on my '41 this winter. MII front Ford 9" rear. What master cylinder and proportioning valve do you plan on using?
No pics here either MJ. As you can see I have the same combination of cars you have. Like minds think alike? I have a '39 pickup in my pasture I...
I always thought the '38 was kind of the "ugly duckling" of the early Fords. But Earl and Texas, you have changed my mind! I like the looks of...
I had a situation similar to this about 30 years ago with a dune buggy. My neighbor set the front end up square to the floor and welded it solid....
I've put Bob Drake grilles on my '40 and '41. Pleased with both. I bought mine from All Ford Parts in Campbell Ca. Surprisingly they were $100...
By coincidence, my handle says it all! Surprisingly there are several hotrodders in town, for a city of only 3,500 people. Mt Shasta Tire (how's...
Too bad we live so far away. I have a '29 sports coupe that is pretty much complete, that I've decided not to build. I believe the doors and...
I'm single and live alone. If my children or grandkids are looking for me, they stick their heads in my shop first. If I'm not there, they head to...
Both my '40s' "burp" gas out if I fill them too fast. Pain in the butt to stand there drizzling gas into them.
I drive mine every chance I get. Grocery store, hardware store, picking up grand kids after school. I do chicken out in the winter however. At...
I have a '39 sitting on an original frame. A buddy wants the truck, and has the idea of setting it on a S-10 frame that he already has. Probably...
I've had both on numerous cars over the years. Always felt I got better performance from the Holley, especially the double pumpers. Got better...
Machine gunner in the infantry 1969. Wounded three times. Last one landed me in Valley Forge Army Hospital for 7 months. Hot rodder before I went...
I have one of each, so I do have a little more than just an opinion. Remember that opinions are like a******s, nobody wants to see them or hear...
I had a '58, '61, '65, and a '68 Vette. Drove the '58 from Ca. to Key West Florida and back in '68 before going in the Army in '69. When I got...
Thanks for the GPS info Chris. Keep us updated on how your insurance treats you.
Sorry to hear that Chris. If you catch them, don't call the cops, administer some "frontier" justice. Your experience has taught me to set the...
As soon as I read the word "student" the red flags went up! I taught high school auto shop. If you have the flywheel on the engine, use a bar...
If you pull on the headlights and get nothing, but have "small draw" accessories with power, check your ground. Clean both terminals on the...
I ran an Automotive machine shop for 6 years. The only way you get water in the pan is #1-blown head gaskets, #2-cracked heads or block. If you...
Here's a thought. If you are starting with round stock, cut your blank about 1 inch longer than needed. Grind the first 1 inch down to the pitch...
I have a '29 sport coupe with no paper work. The classic "been out back for 30 years" scenerio. We have a guy in the local DMV who is GOOD!...
Nice find. I grew up in Omaha. I'm a '40 guy as you can tell from the pics. Most beautiful car ever made. (IMHO!) I agree that seat cover has got...
Good trade! The next place I live, I don't want to need a lawn mower or a snow shovel!
