  4. Mac's or Coker sells tire tubes.

    Any local tire shop should have them. There is a difference though, bias ply or radial. You'd think you'd run a bias tube in a bias tire, but not necessarily so. Radial tubes are much thicker material, therefore more rugged and ling lasting. I'd recommend radial tubes.

    Should work fine, I'm running A lugs on my wheels ('35 Ford wires in front and '35 Lincoln Motor Wheel Corp Wires in back). No problems yet...

    Okay I ordered this stuff yesterday and it came in today! That's what I call service! Got the brass offset valve stems too...

    Thanks again for the input fellas... Another question, where can I get different looking hubcaps for these? U know not the usual moon style... Or can I get some basic ones and machine or weld a pattern onto them such as a knock off aluminum casting?

    :)

    Got a serious conundrum guys and need guidance.

    Rear Frame member
    1. Use portion of old frame and weld to current 28-31 frame?
    2. Use 28-31 frame along with rear spring support (which is not wide enough for my rear spring pack) and cut and widen it to fit the wider rear end spring pack?
    3. Weld a later spring support (correct width for my rear spring pack) to 28-31 frame?

    Front frame member
    1.Swap out for a 32 front cross member so the flat head is a bolt on? With a special mount for 32 frame...
    2. Keep 28-31 front cross member and still use 32 style special mount and fab area on aforementioned cross member?
    3. Fab a one off bracket for the shoe box type flathead mounts?
    4. Switch out water pumps and use the "usual flathead mounts" with biscuits...
