For my 1931 82B narrow-bed Pickup project: ±8" of both left and right rear fenders at the very rear bottom. My understanding is that 1930-1931 coupe, roadster and pickup fenders are the same. Thank you.

I've never had a door handle with a locking cylinder that worked in my 1931 Pickup passenger-side door. I ran across a handle with the cylinder and a key but haven't installed the door handle yet. The key only turns from vertical to the left to about the 11:00 position . . . and to the right to...

The pic is most likely a part of a promo ad to inform the public that the U.S. Government has a financial assistance/grant program to help disabled vets returning after WW1-era. Plenty of info if you GOOGLE "disabled veteran benefits."

Timing Tool. I need a correct one P.S. :)

I do not have anything attached to the bottom side of my front seat spring/cushion to engage in these two retainers. Any help as to what they might look like if there should be something there? Thanks.

A or B? I have two different starter switch covers. I'm thinking one is a repop. How can you tell the difference? I read somewhere about the angle where the push rod assembly goes thru the cover as one difference. How about the height and curvature at the top front? I know that they shouldn't...

Would you mind elaborating on "not very long" . . . years or miles . . . other reasons? Thanks.

FWIW: The VIN is the date when the engine was approved after the run-in test and then stamped with the number . . . not the build-date of the car, unless you have other documentation. Welcome aboard!

Looking for ideas (flat, satin or gloss . . . Black, Gray, Silver or ?) for painting my front bumper on a no-frills early-1931 Black pickup. The body, wire wheels, radiator shell, headlight buckets and the cowl band will also be Black. Pictures and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanx.

New formula? They should have named it WD-41 . . . not to confuse it with WD-40. Send me a sample and I'll let you know how it works.

1930-1931 commercial headlight bucket / FOUND ONE Thanks. One non-stainless steel headlight bucket in good shape. I don't need a trim ring. Thanks in advance.

. . . a lot of incorrect answers . . . lol . . . like I said, Brent's idea will work . . . Yes and no. Wheels are 6" tall laying on a flat surface . . . 2" x 8" lumber (7 1/4" wide) would be needed as a minimum unless you want to wait twice as long per wheel. I would also suggest...

BALER BELTING . . . available at a big-box farm supply store near you in 3-ply 3/16"-thick, 4" or 7" wide for <$4.00 or <$7.00 per lineal foot. Apache, Inc. is the brand that Fleet Farm sells here in the Twin Cities area.

Looking for good rollers . . . prefer matching Goodyear . . . willing to pick up around the Twin Cities area. What do you have? Thanks.

Set of five for $250 picked up. I am willing to box and ship for additional $$. Each box would weigh around 25#. These have been sitting on my shelves for years and are in primer.
