This might be worth a try. There is a Willy’s- Jeep parts house and salvage in Cazadero Ca. You can look them up online. Been there myself but do not remember the name. Big place with lots of donors. Good luck

That’s a real nice truck you have there. Your fenders look to be in real good shape. At their age, most of the ones I have seen have been fixed by someone. I will have to agree with the others, get it safe and drive it. That’s what I did, most folks like it more than if it was all prettied up...

Thanks for the video tour of your shop! I have admired your woodie project since it was a work in progress. Now I am suffering a case of workshop envy. The music track had me thinking of Reno and Smiley at first. Rickey Scaggs sounds about right too. He was influenced by many of the old timers...

Mine still has the wind lace, such as it is. Would like to find a source for some new material. Small dia. cord wrapped in cloth with flap of material for mounting.

Re: ‘34 kick panel material I picked up on this thread in the beginning. I had tried to find the original material door cards and kick panels. The fiberglass/ plastic ones did not work for me. Kube’s post that mentioned Hobby Lobby got me thinking. Found that they a wide selection of matting...

As stated previously here, trucks from 36’ were not equipped with an interior rear view mirror. I too thought of installing one when I first started driving mine. Even went as far as to find one at a swap. The more I drove my truck I began to realize I didn’t need it. I can turn my head and see...

I have and have used extractor sockets. I would say they have a 50% success rate with me. Be sure to use all the tried and true methods first. Heat would be my first attempt, striking the bolt head with a hammer and drift to break up any corrosion. Then heat it up again and tap on the extractor...

I use a crappy old 2 1/2T bottle jack and a couple of scraps of 2X12s. An old broom stick works for a handle. No rocket science here. Be sure to loosen the lug nuts before lifting and you’re good.

So I am curious, how accurate is “reasonably accurate”. Were you able to verify your readings with another source? Do you think attaching the sensor on the #1 cylinder would make a difference? They sound like a good option for those who just want to monitor the RPMs going down the road.

TJ, thanks for the reply. I had checked Mac’s earlier, but looked again in case I missed it. They have a lot of different wind laces and seals, but not the one for the door. The search goes on. Anyone know the original color of these? Mine had been painted over years ago. It would be nice to...

With all thats going on in the world, I find myself looking for projects to pass the time. I would like to replace the door seal material on my 37' truck cab. Maybe I don't have the correct term to describe it (seal, windlace, ect), but I am having trouble locating anything close. I am looking...

I sent mine to Kent Jaquith a while back. He is located in the Pacific Northwest. Very good to work with and very helpful. His # is (541) 923-4219. Good luck

Yes, mine does. Looks to be 3/16”dia. and approx. 28 1/2” long. Looks to be the same rod that is used to hinge the side panels.

Residual oil in the canister and a snug fit can make for a sort of suction when trying to lift out the filter. Give it a steady, strong pull and it should come out of there. Happens sometimes. Be sure to clean out the bottom of the canister, get all that dark snot out of there. New filter, new...
