Thanks Randy. I have the spacers and will put them on. Appreciate your explanation. I was/am a little concerned of having less stud length for the lug nuts to utilize.

I am running 16” Kelsey Hayes wheels on early Ford hydraulic brakes. My question is, do I need to use spacers between the wheels and the drums? I have heard both ways. I would like to hear your ideas and why. Thanks.

I’m looking for a right outside door handle for a 31 coupe. Thanks

I got the parts from Machine Girl. It is an aluminum case straight 4 speed, no overdrive. Maybe I didn't explain it well in my first post.

Thanks for the kind words Spdway and a Merry Christmas to you as well. I found the parts I needed and am now one step closer to getting the car running. I must admit that I am a bit surprised that my question caused so much emotion, but I have reached a point in life where I really don't give a...

I'm looking for the cap, spring and washer that hold down the shifter on the Ford F-150 transmission. I have the shifter. Thanx for looking.

Tanx for all the replies. I'll give the HAMB a try as well. Trying all avenues in a attempt to locate these parts. I wasn't aware that "etiquette" was involved, just enjoy playing with my old cars. Glenn, thanx for the advice, I have never installed one.

Hi all, first post. I recently purchased a speedster project that has a F-150 OD transmission installed. Transmission is complete except for the cap, spring and washer that hold down the shifter. Anyone have any of these parts they are willing to part with or know where I can find them? Any help...
