We went to the Murdo SD museum about this time last year. Still going strong then after Dave's passing. Dave Edit: I just checked their website...
One more option for wheels on a wood spoke T is early Chevy disc wheels. They are 6 bolt and the same pattern as the T wood wheel hubs! Dave
There is a fella in or around Oklahoma City OK that grinds cams for Flathead and other old stuff. Really cool old Quanset Hut. Was there a few...
Didn't they have a trailer stolen awhile back? I assume this is a replacement for the stolen one? Not having good luck with trailers it seems....
You did say stock tho. Dave
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I know Oliver! I am amazed at what you have built from a pile of rust and parts. Just givin' ya crap! My '27 T roadster with...
Okay. Has been more than a few years since I saw and talked to them. Need to take my wife there while we are still able. Dave
The ones I've seen also run on propane. Dave
If it boils over, it's hot. If it seizes up, it is out of oil! If it sputters and dies, it's out of gas. Ever drive a stock Model T? :) Dave
My '29 Tudor (avatar) has a bunch of old ones for it stuffed overhead above the windshield. Dave
If I remember correctly, T wire wheel bolt circle is 5" like large GM. Maybe on a fenderless car, 5" to 5.5" wheel adapters with proper spacers...
My friends with A wire wheels on T spindles use the Model A drums/hubs and turn the outside portion of the drums off just past ehw edge of the...
T wire wheels and A wheels are not the same. T wire wheels and hubs are $$$$$$. You can trim the T spindles off and use Model A bearings and...
The second one looks like Speedway. Bought some there a few years ago. Dave
Change fender and put a spare in the bed. It's a pickup after all! Sweet pickup. Dave
I am a big '51 Ford fan, especially the coupes. You are doing really nice work but ya lost me when the Chevy went in. :( Sorry. Dave
That's a pickup transmission. I have one. Dave
@oliver westlund what's the longest actual driving trip so far? Dave
Ribs are added. Cowl from that angle could be anywhere from '15 to early '22 Dodge Brothers. The rear section looks fabbed from scratch. Dave
Hmmmm! Dave
Vidoe not working :( Dave
Stupid AI and/or computer voice. Dave
Ya gotta use a cutter that's sorta like a hole saw to cut the swage off the stud, then press it out, otherwise you will destroy the drum. Dave
So how do you explain all the (off topic) 16.5 wheels that don't have the "safety bead" and came tubeless? Tha bead is to keep the tire on the rim...
I agree! Looks like '18 to me. The curved angle iron rear fender mounts is one clue. A year or two either way is possible too. W/S post leaned...
I like the straight spoke '35 wheels better than the bent spoke but maybe I'm just cheap!' Dave
My T friends just use a bunji cord from door to door across the hood to keep the doors open. Dave
Doug, if you came and helped me I could be done in half the time! Dave
I kinda doubt it. My youngest grandson wants to go but my wife insists I'm roofing the house this year. :( Dave
Reverse the wires? Dave
Separate names with a comma.
