I purchased this Rock Guard several years back for my 1930 Coupe but never installed it. Would not look good on my late 31 pick-up. At that time I paid $139.95 for it and will let it go for $125.00 plus shipping. Contact me at modelaford@comcast.net

I have a clicking noise (tin tone) in the engine. At first I thought it to be the starter bendix clicking back off the ring gear and does the one on my engine test stand but that is not it. It seems to me a while back someone mentioned something about the lack of a gasket in the oil pump and if...

Thanks, I have no idea why I did not thnk of the Heli-Coil. I have used many on a Model A. I do appreciate the wake up information.

After havinga head cleaned out and Magnafluxed plus milled. I out the hed on the engine with a good (New) FEL-PRO 7013 R3 Gasket. Went to install the distributor to set the timing and WOW! The hole in the head was stripped out and the Screw would not tighten. This is a first for me and would...

Gosh, I must be dense. I just put mine in a pick-up and had no problem with the fit. It may be different with the coupe or fordor but the pickup was fairly simple.

I am trying to find out about the 3rd Brake light which will also work with turn signals. Any ideas. I have been told that a firm named J & L sales them but do not know. I have turn signals with a toggle switch and 6V flasher but would like to get a package of a good light with turn signal...

Here is a pic of my 31 W B Pickup with my 53 year old daughter who just Graduated from The University of Washington. She just wanted to continue with her education. I am proud of them both. Dick B.

Bill Barlow's Bearings look lke a fine piece of jewlery and the precision is outstanding. He s very particular about his product and his Babbit does not have any lead what-so-ever. I do have (somewhere) the make-up of his Babbit but it is somewhere in this huge monster of a computer and it would...

Heym what ever works and does not do damage to head, valves, block and all. Looks like it did a good job for you.

Looks like it is once again time for Gord's Head Puller to resurface. If this is "David", maybe we can get Gord By The Bay to respond so you can get it touch with him. That is a wonderful tool and to me it has never failed. I also made one with a cutout to remove the head with the distributor...

Keith, I agree the box needs more support. I put the weight on the modified rear bumper brackets then ran straps from the bumper brackets to the wooden rails on the wide bed. I installed 3/8" GR 5 Bolts through the wood rails at about a 30 degree angle which not only gives it weight support but...

I have just finished building and pre-fitting a tool box for in the rear and under the bed of a 31 Wide Bed Pickup. I am half way pleased with it but would make it a bit larger if I re-did it. This one is 6" H, 28" W and 18" Deep. I could have gone to 8" H, 30" W and 24 " Deep. It would have fit...

Bob Johnson's site has 100 pictures of a Special Coupe during restoration. Just look for Ron Aasens Special Coupe at the following site. Dick B. http://www.modelahouse.com/cgi-bin/pictures?other.txt

Seems like I recently noticed some photo's of someone restoring or restored a 29 pickup. I have a friend that is starting to work on one he has had for many, many years and he called and was looking for some information on how something ? fit. I just did a late 31 pickup but a lot of difference...

Steve, I have one on my Pickup and it is great. It keeps the exhaust from blowing on the rear axle housing by defecting it down. On mine (Ihave the SS Aries) and it will just barely fit just in front of the axle housing.
