Alright! I am going to bring this to closure. I spent about an hour creating a chamfer. Not pretty by any means. I used a Dewalt 20v 3" cut...
Hi Mr48chev, so are you saying there is a 168 tooth to replace the 139 tooth or a replacement 139 tooth? I have an extra 12V starter so if I...
Hi Squirrel, I was thinking it looked like a bevel...I guess the idea is that it would be a funnel of sorts to allow the starter teeth to more...
I thought I would do a quick update. I pulled the inspection cover off and the original side of the teeth that were chewed up are...
Thanks. You all have validated my fears lol. I could try pulling the inspection cover and make a chamfer between each as noted. If that doesn’t...
Hi I am having issues with my starter and or flywheel. The motor is a 59 235. It is in a 1939 master 85 sedan. I am using the original bell...
Thanks @1971BB427 ! I kind of thought that was likely. @6inarow sent some pics of his stock set up and the oil pans look different to me in...
thanks @52HardTop . If I can remove the cross-member in my last pics, I can drop the trans a few degrees and I think it will clear the floor OK....
Hi, I spent a fair amount of time looking through your build thread! I could see your set up went in without a lot of drama..you also shared some...
Hi, I am with you. I am using Davis Speed side mounts. I put the stock ones in as locators. Here is a pic of the DS mounts mocked up. This is...
[ATTACH] Hi I cut the old transmission crossmember mount including the parking brake brackets. The PB S is won’t be doable with the T5. I...
Hi all, I am deep into a build that I didn't want to do, but want the outcome :) 39 Chevy Master 85 sedan...I have a 1959 Chevy and am changing...
Hi all. I found this thread via search. I can start a different thread if that would be better but lets see. I have a 39 chevy Master 85 2 door...
Thanks all. Great thoughts and examples! @1971BB427 your set up looks great. @Garpo do you have any examples you can share? What kind of...
@302GMC , I have almost complete parts. Missing lenses, gaskets and lens spring clips. All are available as reproductions. Sort of leaning as...
Hi all. I have a 39 Chevy master 8t that I have fully rewired. I am ready to put the headlights together but want to upgrade. I see a few kits...
Thanks 302GMC. Will the full 3rd member come out with the torque tube? I mostly followed the description. I figured I would have to pull the...
Hi all, I am replacing seals on the trans side of my torque tube. I have it all apart, doing an Okie tub and ball seals. The rear end looks to...
Thanks. This is really helpful...both posts! I will report back when I get this moving. Right now, doing torque tube gaskets....I sure hate the...
Hi all. Does anyone know of a good resource for front and rear fender install as well as running boards for a 1939 Mater Deluxe? The manuals on...
Thanks. The oldcarmanualproject.com site has the 39 as well. It isn't super descriptive, but probably adequate. I will have to see if I can...
Hi all. I am working on a 39 Chevy Master 85 2 door sedan with rear roll down side windows. I bought the car in boxes. Does anyone have...
Hi all, thanks again. Wanted to bring this to a close. The 54 water pump worked as thought. Here is a pic showing the difference. I thought I...
Hey all, making progress on my 39 m85. Trying to figure windshield install out and rear roll downs and front doors (2 door sedan). The car came...
Yeah, that was my concern...I was just starting to do some research on what it might mean when I saw Johnny's post. I ordered up a 54 3/8 water...
Jonny, I checked the width of the alternator and generator pulleys…you are correct, same width. I thought an earlier post suggested changing the...
Sounds like I need the 54 pump with the 3/8 pulley. The longer shaft will likely be an issue. I bet the 216 pump was used for that reason but...
Ok here are some cleaner pics. The water pump pulley is off (forward) of the crank pulley. The water pump pulley is much wider than the crank...
Thanks for the quick responses. The alternator is one I had kicking around and is just mocked up. I will slide the belt off and pull the...
Hi all as the title states, I need some advice. Have my 39 Chevy sedan project. Came with a 54 235 ci in it. Needs cleaned but starts after a...
