I have started up again on a 1929 CCPU that I started on years ago and it got pushed to the back burner. I am working towards getting it ready to take the Chassis for it's first drive. I was missing some brake linkage and Clutch pedal linkage. Now that I got the missing parts and installed a...

I am looking for a 19" innertube to put into a tire for a set of roll around wheels while I work on my A. I am fine with a used tube or one that even needs patched. Trying to get it on a set of cheap rollers while I work on it.

I am looking for a seat for a 1928-29 Closed Cab Pickup. Even just the springs without any upholstery is fine. Thanks, Adam Akers

As I am working on my A I am wondering if there is a recommended paint to use on small parts like steering and brake components, (pitman arm, Clutch and Brake Pedals etc.) I end up working on it a little at a time and when I get a couple parts cleaned up and ready for paint I don't have enough...

I am replacing the badly worn pedal shaft on my 1929 Model A and wondered if there are any tips for getting the pin out of it that pins the shaft into the Bell Housing? I have tried a chisel a bit to see if I could drive between the rolled head of the pin and the bell housing but before I get...

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I will just have to be patient and wait for my parts to arrive. With the 5/16 brake line nut I was able to get a piece of 5/16 copper and try with a ferrule, but as you said the taper on the ferrule did not match that of the carb, and since the carb is an...

Yes I am sure it is 1/2" 20 that is the same as a fine thread 1/2" bolt. It is not tapered thread so it is relying on the inverse flare to seat in the carb. The picture that Bob C put up looks like the brake line nuts that I have and I have Ferrules that fit the 5/16" copper tubing. I might...

I am getting ready to get my Model A running with a temporary fuel tank (the body is off) and I am trying to figure out what I can put together to make a temporary fuel line. I know that my carb has 1/2" 20 threads per inch female threads, and I was able to get a 5/16" line nut for brakes at a...

I am restoring a 1928 - 1929 Closed Cab Pickup and am needing a Throttle Control Assembly for the motor. I am not needing a perfect one, just one that I can clean up and would be functional. The one that I have is badly worn, and no springs left on it, and it is bent to the point I am not sure...

Thanks for all the great advice. I appreciate it. Adam

I am working on my 1929 CCPU restoration, and am starting to think about the Bed. The bed I have is pretty typical of any bed you are going to find it isn't in terrible shape, but it has seen a lot of use and will require quite a bit of straightening. So I am wondering with all of the new beds...

I am working on restoring a 1929 Model A closed cab pickup. I am on a tight budget, and am a accomplished wood worker so I am hoping I can save some money by making all the wood for the cab myself instead of purchasing a kit. Does anybody have any plans they could share with me, or know of a...

I would like to see pics Adam Akers Newton KS adamlakers@gmail.com Thanks,

Thanks for the info guys. I am tempted to pick up a T to build to use the bed instead of trying to sell it.

I have a 1925 model t pickup bed that is in pretty good shape. No rust through etc. pretty straight. The tail gate is not original because it has the ford script on it and i think that the original 1925 ones did not have the script. I am trying to get a rough idea on what it is worth. Have...
