I check in to the Barn from time to time and seen this thread. A lot of people on the Barn has offered me advice and direction on my engine build. There was a lot of phone calls to Ron who freely gave me direction when I started on the engine and could not have done it without him. I purchased...

Several years ago I was able to snag an old original 1939 cab mounting blocks off Ebay after the PO found new reproduction. I used the original and traced out the pattern onto new cypress wood and with table saw and band saw cut/glued together. It fits like a glove to the frame. I think I still...

I'm looking for used overdrive unit for my 68 CJ5 so I can get it out more. Moved closer to town and people will run over you doing 45 in a 45 zone.

The year was 1974 and I was Junior in High School. Worked all summer stuffing fiberglass insulation in buildings to purchase 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Ran the wheels off that jeep for 12+ years before selling it. First work vehicle was 1966 Ford Pickup truck, good ole 3 on the tree 6 cylinder.

I just purchased a used Asymmetrical lift and have not installed yet. From what I can tell the Asymmetrical Lift allows the vehicle to open/close the door better while getting in/out. The vehicle does not set as far forward and as long as you are not doing crew cab diesel trucks with 8-foot beds...

I recently posted 4 items on Facebook Market Place and within a week they sold. Yes, 2 seconds after posting I got a response on one of the items asking if they could send me a code. I just responded "NO" and that was the end of that Scammer. I asked reasonable prices and got so many responses I...

I had a problem with 8ba engine I installed in the 39 frame. Bolted it to the engine and put a rake handle inside the header pipe and bent to desired location needed. All good now.

Very well done!

Happy Birthday!! Thanks for all the help and freely passing along info I needed to complete my engine.

Can't decide if I like WWII or not......

Just came from a retail establishment where Security Guard was walking by a Jewerly Store and looked over on the counter and spotted a very well done counterfeit bill. The guy buying the jewelry had a receipt where he got the bills out of an ATM at a gas station. Let me add again it was very...

Thanks Merc Cruzer, that was a big help. I missed that sight while doing a google search. I think the colors I want are Tacoma Cream, and either Moselle Maroon or Monsoon Maroon. Do either of the Maroon colors have a tint of brown in them. I could not tell by the color chart on the site.

If all I have is the name Ford Cream #100 and Maroon #21 can most local auto paint stores take that and get correct color? I believe these two colors are for Ford Trucks 1939. I can turn a wrench and weld, but body work and paint are out of my league.

30Murray, That is a great site, thanks for sharing. I'm always looking for part in better condition than the one I have, or don't have.
