Interesting idea. The new suspension settled into place nicely in the first 1000-2000 miles. I have had front end alignments twice during this...
I'm pretty sure those fasteners for the cab and bed have not been touched for about 80 years. I think I remember seeing some spring bolts...
My manual transmission is a Muncie that came with a 1968 327 L79 from a wrecked Corvette (in 1969). From 1970, I left this truck in storage for...
No kidding. I'm not there yet, but feeling it already :p I will look again at all connections and moving parts to slather some more grease or...
My 1936 Ford Pickup creaks and groans when it twists into driveways, etc. Is this normal on all old frames due to their cold rivet construction...

I am looking for an original windshield frame in good condition for a reasonable price to fit a 1936 or 1935 Ford Pickup. The price above is a...

Try Barkeepers Friend. For most applications I like it better than the Quick-Glo that Jay Leno recommends. It's FAR cheaper. Quick-Glo is about...
Same problem here. I called Edelbrock tech support. He flat out told me to get an Edelbrock 9266 Heat Insulator Gasket for about $21.00. No ands,...
