@AULIZ how is the flathead coming along? I assume the weather there has changed from driving hot rods to working on them in your heated garage....
Rope between GS and Hot Rod.... I know that is not how you wanted to come home but we all know you will figure it out and get it back on the road...
I could listen to that all day long
Praying for your son, you, and your family.
Good point. Thanks!
I just picked up the Van Pelt book so I'll read through and start looking to pick up the shaft and retainer. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback and the offer - I wish I knew someone in that part of the country!
I picked up a rebuilt transmission locally for my 1936 Ford truck before I knew which way I wanted to go with this project. It is open drive but I...
Same here! I would love to see an Auliz hot rod in person.
Also available for local pickup in southeastern Virginia.

It is exciting to see this come together! The amount of work you get done in a short period of time is amazing.
Thanks @RodStRace for the pictures. It helps visualize what I'm working with. And thanks everyone else for the feedback. I'll keep at it and put...
What is the trick for holding the hollow pivot bolt for the headlight bucket to remove the retaining nut? This is on a '36 truck if that makes a...
@Budget36 yes, at this point replacement is not an option.
Will do. Thanks @19Fordy
Thanks all
Thanks, @Happydaze and @Budget36 - now that you mention it, it does look like a defect vs. damage.
Found this crack in the spring perch on my 1936 Ford truck project and I am wondering if something like this could be welded up safely or if it is...
Sold
True. I found this one a year ago and it was modified for some kind of lifting point on the passenger bed side - definitely for work purposes. The...
That makes sense. I haven't started pulling it apart yet but I assume I could look for a smaller square core that would fit or just retrofit an...
The tail-light looking thing is a removable ash tray with a sliding top. The hooded thing above that was a small light.
Now for the not-yet-pretty. This is what was in my '36 truck when I got it. I like the simple looks of it and plan to put it back into use. [ATTACH]
Been following this from the beginning and it is sad to see it come to an end (for this year, anyway). The entire group, starting with John and...
So far, so good with the one I picked up last year. Testing will tell the real story but from everything this new guy has been told to look for,...
@flatford39 Is that $2,000 including the $900 for machine work or is that just parts ($2,900 total)? Also, where did you buy your parts? I'm sure...
Thanks @F-ONE and @jrblack30. I heard the term 'hogs head' for the first time at a show this weekend and was going to look it up but you saved me...
Thanks for the input, @19Fordy @F-ONE and @RuFFDaWG Seems like the feedback is fairly universal - start looking for a different transmission!...
Thanks @Budget36 - I think you're right, the nostalgia of double clutching would probably wear out pretty quick. @Old wolf - Thanks for pointing...
