Steering box with pitman arm from a larger Ford truck, had dual wheels with five lug nuts, not a pickup but not a BIG truck. I'm not familiar with pre-48 trucks so don't know the model of this truck. Buyer has to arrange shipping. 18"x12"x8", weighs 25 lbs. Use your favorite shipper to...

This isn't exactly early V8, it's about the flat six in my '49 F-2. The engine I installed in 40 years ago is tired. It's rebuildable but I have another engine I pulled out of parts truck 10+ years ago. I pulled it apart to see the internal condition and it's in better shape than the one that...

Gene, I ran the center tap wire, the positive, to the dash board because my truck is positive ground. I used the wire coming from the outer shell of the power port to the ignition switch. Doing this makes the metal bracket of the power port negative ground, like it would be on a newer...

I have a front clip for a 1967 full sized Ford car. It's in pretty decent shape. The grill and headlight surrounds are nice. The bottom rear on the driver's fender is rusted out and would need to be patched. The top of the inner fenders have rust holes and the bumper is straight but would need...

I just saw a very interesting show on Public TV about WW1 and Model Ts. I did a search and didn't find any posts about it. It's been around a while but this is the first time I saw it. I have never posted in this forum, I deal with newer trucks, '48-50, but I thought some of you might enjoy it...

Before I start this post I want to acknowledge I found most of this information on the Model A board on the Ford Barn site and the HAMB. I recently made a 1600 mile round trip in my stock '49 Ford F-2 3/4 ton pickup. For added convenience and safety I wanted to use my GPS system and charge my...

I have a set of 7 19.5" five hole truck rims from a RV. These have the same 5 bolt pattern as early '40s to mid '50s bigger Ford trucks, F-4 through F-6. The bolt pattern is also the same for the same vintage Dodge, Studebaker and International trucks. Replace those Widow Makers no one will...

I have a 1953 EAB flathead and transmission with OD. $750 OBO Here is want I know about the engine: When I got it it would only turn about 10°. I pulled the heads expecting the worse but it turned out there were four stuck valves. After working with the valves a few minutes each with...

I just ran the new bolts through a couple of the holes and there is very little noticeable wiggle in the bolts so I'm hoping with a little sealer the bolts will seal up. This engine is going to be sold to help finance my projects so I'm not going to seal the bolts myself. I want to be able to...

OK, what are you talking about? I also didn't have a broken head "stud", my engine had a broken "bolt". I didn't tap stud holes, I taped bolt holes. From reading the above posts I can see there is a difference. If I had studs I'd have to be more concerned with making sure the studs were...
