Excellent resource, thanks!
Should I just replace the regulator? Is there a way to test it?
Thanks for the responses. Truth be told, wiring is my weakness. The harness is factory correct and came with a simple color coded diagram which I...
I’m freshening up the interior of my 40 standard coupe and one project has led to another, and another....and, ya you know. So I pulled the...
I’ll check them out, thanks!
Also, wiring is a mess, half dry rotted original harness and half botched modern. I’ll be putting in a new dash harness, and probably a headlight...
Pistnbroke: disregard on the photo. I pulled the dash out today.
Ha! Very true. If you can post this pics of the dash I’d appreciate it. Thanks!
Yup, I guess it can get out of hand if you can’t draw the line someplace. Not sure where the line is for me yet. I started out just wanting to...
Ok, I loosened two bolts that hold the column drop to the dash, loosened the clamp at the gearbox and slid off with a little jiggling. I took...
Ok, I plan to tackle this next weekend. Thanks again.
I just read your post again and im not understanding how I get that spring depressed so the shift shard releases?
Thanks for all the tips. Sounds like I have some work ahead of me...I’ll report back.
Thanks for explaining this and posting the pics. I looked at my column and I see that piece. Question: I’m planning to replace the column drop, so...
Ok, the wheel popped right off with the puller. No issues. Now I’m going to try to pull the tube off. Once I loosen the clamp above the gear box...

Great tips, thanks everyone. I’ll post some before and after pics when it’s done.

I’m planning to install an original replacement column drop on my 40 standard coupe. I’ve found lots of threads on this subject but need...

Thanks for all of the comments. I got a copy of the book coming my way thanks to another H.A.M.B. member. I already found lots of info on the net...
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks for the ideas everyone!
Hi all, so I picked up a 1940 Ford standard coupe a few weeks ago and I’ve been doing tons of reading and research on some projects I’ve already...
Thanks everybody for the feedback! Asphalt Angel, that looks awesome, is that a coupe? Seems like a lot of space back there... Arkie, I have the...
Hi all, I’m working on a 40 standard coupe that currently has a package tray set up. I pulled out the seat and rugs to treat the floorboards and...
Thanks for the feedback, I’m already talking with a few folks in the classified/parts section. This site is great. Thanks again for the warm welcome.
