The last Chickasha Swap in October 2017 was quite a bit larger than in past years. It made me more optimistic after seeing the swaps decrease, the last few years. The Spring meet is May 10-12, the Fall meet is Oct. 18-20, and the Pre-War meet is March 16-17.

That was great !

Looking for a grill for a 37 pickup

Congrats on the find ! Looks to be in good condition. Cars and trucks from Western Oklahoma ( North or South) tend to be fairly rust free.

Great lookin' truck !

I have the correct 8BA push rod. Wanted to make sure no other parts were missing. I will check the the distance from the stock intake versus the Offy intake to make sure the push rod is the correct length.

Didn't plan on trying to use the earlier fuel pump setup on the 8ba. I was just comparing the two ( 1947 model and the 8ba) and trying to make sure I had all the correct parts for the job. I have the correct fuel pump rod and fuel pump for the 8ba. Just wanted to make sure there was no missing...

I'm using the Offy 2 carb standard intake for a 49-53.

I'm using an Offenhauser manifold.

Trying to install a fuel pump on my 49-53 flathead for my 47 Ford. Not sure I have all the parts required. Looks a little different than the fuel pump setup I pulled from my 47. The 47 had a fuel pump rod alignment shaft cover and an oil deflector cup on the fuel rod. I ordered a fuel pump rod...

Great information. I'd love to do one of these in my 37 pickup, especially since it came with no engine and trans. I enjoy driving my 36 pickup around town but finding those gears can be a challenge some times, but I'm getting better.

Excellent job on the restoration of this 36. I'm not sure my 36 could be brought back to this condition but the 37 I picked up could be. Enjoying your progress.

Much better than the fenders on my first pickup. I found the tailgate buried under debris in the bed. The owner had car parts stored in about 10 different storage containers on the property. No telling what the buyers found in those units. The owner didn't appear to be brand loyal and had a...

The 41 sold for $500 with a complete cab and front end with the drive train. The 41 was missing the bed and the rear frame was damaged. I suspect it was in a rear end collision at one time. Still a good price for what it was.

Like eatin' candy. Although the new truck today looks rough, it's actually a very straight truck. No stress cracks either. I think this one didn't live a rough farm life, like my first truck. There was a 41 Ford truck that sold too, along with an early 50's Ford convertible. About 40 cars sold...
