SOLD I believe this is a floor from a 1926 T turtle deck. However, I am no expert on Model T's. Its fairly solid but does have rust through shown in the second picture. This floor came with a turtle deck I had a year or so ago. I was saving it for a pattern for my build but have decided to...

SOLD 1926 T Turtle Deck SOLD... 1926 T roadster turtle deck. Very solid with factory riveted floor attached. No decklid. Price does not include shipping. This is also for sale on ebay but I will sell here instead. A previous owner started doing body work to this turtle deck, not...

I did a similar type spindle swap on a '60 Ranchero. I used 67 Mustang spindles (which I believe are the same as Fairlane but I could be wrong). I used all Mustang tie rods and for the Falcon swap a '65 Falcon center link is needed. I used new upper control arms and ball joints, again for v8...

Fun face, Ford actually sold fiberglass fenders for 53-56 F-100s in the 1970s. I don't know who made them for Ford. I bought a pair and decided I didn't want to use them. But my brother ended with those same fenders later on and traded some parts with me. In the mean time, I repaired the...

I am old school and considering doing that 351W head swap onto a 289. I have the special head bolts from Ford to do it. And considering going to 1.94 intake and 1.60 exhaust valves (common chevy valves). I ran a "Berry cam" in my 289 years ago with a Torker 289 and wanting to build a similar...

Wow, good info on '54 drum interchange.. Would you happen to know what would work on 1957s and 1958s?

I would agree, usually a bad ground

I did the same thing earlier this summer.. guy had a 48 or so F2 he was making yard art out of.. Said if I pulled the motor without damaging the truck, it was free for the taking. Had to load up my cherry picker and sheet of 3/4" plywood on my trailer so I had something to roll the cherry...

I ordered a pair of 1928 open car door latches. I installed one in my T door and it fits and works just like it belongs there.

I'm not concerned about the shape of the handle for my use. I'm after the fitment and function. Thank you very much for your information. The last two pictures of the two latches side by side is exactly what I was looking for.:)

Yes, those latches pictured are the style I have. The part numbers you gave come back to the ones that do not work on my doors.

I have a 1927 Roadster I am collecting parts for. My body sat outside for many years in the Sand Hills of Nebraska. I want to put new door latches in it to get the doors working. I ordered new latches from Snyders without looking at the shape of my old latches first. Their website said their...

only if the station wagon is a 2 door. unless you're needing only part of the quarter panel.
