Thanks, alchemy, I was hoping that it was a "cookie-cutter" part and that with a factory stock rear end, that a "common length" was a result. Of...
I'm about to tackle what appears to be a common upgrade. I'm putting a T5 trans in to replace the factory 3-speeed. What I'm asking is for those...
Has anyone done or know someone who has installed a Ford 4RW70 transmission on an 59AB engine?
I had the same dilemma with mine. Brading is right, take it off. I did and, sure enough, there was all the mfg. info on the inside! Since you...
"Something for everyone!" Not quite!! Sorry they don't deliver to California! I'm sure there are a lot of rodders out here that are disappointed!!
Nothing is really "Permanent"...even etching or stamping can be ground off. but like BJR said, try the oil based paint markers (they have acrylic...
Elect. Steering, yes! Disks, No! You're probably right in that I need a fab. shop as opposed to a custom shop. My '36 is in great shape...I...
Looks like I may need some additional help with a few projects on my '36 Ford Pickup. Can anyone recommend a good shop in the San Jose/Morgan...
Thanks Warbird1
Can anyone tell me what the diameter is of the steering shaft on a 1936 Ford Pickup? I believe the outer tube is 1-1/2", I don't know the inner...

I'm still pretty new here, myself, and make a few boo-boos at times! Welcome!!! Love your '56 Ford! I had a '57 4-door Fairlane 500 with a 312,...
You could also use a voltage reducer in series with your bulb(s) for a few dollars more. Amazon has a few that you could use. Or, if you have a...
If someone was intent on stealing your car, they would find an easy workaround to just switching your distributer wire. Why don't you just use a...
Don't know your setup, but I'm using 2 Optima 6v in series under my seat. They're on their side but since they're AGMs it's not a problem....
Thanks, 1946 Caddy! So, did you install them? If so, what year/make did you use...std. mounts or fab'd?
Has anyone installed split seats (50/50 or 60/40) in a 36 Ford Pick Up? What about seat mounts...make, buy?
Found out from Boling Bros. that the Lincoln's are NOT compatible with the Ford's!
Great information, but, too bad the Early V8 Garage is no longer around! Boling Brothers might be a reasonable substitute to get started as far...
The people at Boling Brothers Early Iron said that the original 37-39 Wide-five drums will fit the 36 spindle! We'll soon see! Still don't know...
