I don't know about the clear portion, but I am currently working on one with this product:...
The "V-8" emblem on the grille of the one on the left would indicate '35.
Thanks for the Bob Drake link for grill parts. I have the '36 1.5 ton grill. Will the stainless steel trim they show for the '35-'36 Pickup &...
As I look at my manual, I see that the '36 1.5 ton came with either a 6.6 to 1 or a 5.14 to 1 ratio rear end. I saw an Eaton ad for the '36 on...
Find an Eaton 2 speed rear end for higher speed cruising. They were available for the '36 1.5 ton.
Actually, as I mentioned at the beginning of the thread, I want to change out the sealed beams in favor of the original reflector and two bulbs....
It looks like my best option for now is to stick with the Guide buckets and put new sealed beams and wires in till I find some '35-"37 buckets....
After closer inspection, I notice that the sealed beam buckets on the truck are Guide 903-J model, which was apparently a 40s era aftermarket...
This makes sense now. It looks like the headlight socket assemblys shown in parts books have a large and a small socket. One is obviously the...
Yes, the parts book pictures appear to show two holes in the reflector. Are both bulbs headlights?
A technical question. I am re-fitting the headlights on my 36 Ford 1.5 ton from the current sealed beams to the original bulb type. The wiring...
I pulled the starter and bench tested it and it turned fine. I put the old starter back in (which I had pulled because it was getting jammed up)...
I put a 1,000 CA Optima battery in with no change. I will have the starter checked and let you know the outcome.
The six volt battery shows 610 CCA and 750 CA. Is that enough?
I have checked all connections and added a ground wire from engine to frame, but problem remains. The starter was new with the modern bendix from...
I moved the ground cable from a transmission to engine housing bolt to a cleaned area on the pan with no change. I believe the original set up...
I put a new 6 volt battery and starter in my 36 Ford 1.5 ton but still had very slow cranking, so I installed all new "00" cables and all was...
I replaced the accelerator pump actuator rod with the one from the old carburetor (glad I didn't send it in for the core refund) and it doesn't...
Thanks for the info on the vent hole in the carb body. I pulled the carb to replace the accelerator pump and actuator rod and confirmed that...
I pulled the link between the butterfly linkage and the accelerator pump and it didn't stick when actuated from the gas pedal. So, the problem...
I took the top of the carburetor on both the rebuild and the old one. The pump rods and actuator rods are the same length and it seems to be...
I replaced a Holly 94 (Model 91-99) on my 36 Ford 1.5 ton truck with a rebuild from Vintage Speed. It runs great but when throttling up the...
I have run into this board so many times from Google searches on flatheads, that I thought it was time to join. Thanks for the opportunity.
