I am looking for the trim for the side of the hood for a '39 Deluxe. I need all 4 spears. I'm looking for very nice original or NOS. Also, looking for a passenger side rear fender for a '39 woody and the rear tailgate window frame for a '39 woody. Thanks.

Well, after pulling, pushing, twisting and a lot of expletives, I got it in. Everything is tightened up and looking good. Thanks everyone for your help. Greatly appreciate it!

Thanks for all the advice. So far it's radius rod 1 and Brendan 0 but I made progress. I decided to connect the rods at the torque tube and use a drift pin at the backing plate. Got 1 bolt half way in. I think the angle of the rod is causing the bolt to hang up.

I am trying to re-install the rear radius rods on my '39 woody. I got the drivers side on by installing it on the backing plate first and then on the torque tube. Went to do the same on the passenger side and I'm about a 1/4" to 1/2" off like radius rod is too long. These are the same rods...

It's all together, the correct way, and in the car. Thank you everyone!

Well, it was half of an old seal. I want to thank everyone for their help and to John Mason for reminding me that there is only one way to do things, the right way. I'm sure it will all go together correctly now.

Thanks Mart. Glad to have finally found what I think is the source of my problem. I’ll report back once I’m done. Thanks all.

19Fordy, thank you! I took the bearing sleeve and seal out of mine and see something behind where the grease seal sits that kinda looks like it could be one half of a bearing casing. The diameter of the opening on it looks to be about the same as the center of a seal. It doesn't look like...

Petehoovie, would you happen to have a picture of inside the top of the torque tube with the grease seal removed? Thanks.

I’m not sure if he’s still active. The last post on the forum on his web page is from mid-2022.

I’ve emailed that guy at least 3 times about buying it and have never gotten a response.

KR Wilson AA-309. Been trying to find one for a while. Do you know who might have one for sale?

Mart, thanks for that info. I will follow-up on it. After taking everything apart today and taking measurements with the bearing sleeve in and out and putting the speedo gear housing on with the sleeve in I'm pretty sure I have an issue with the grease seal. I think it's too think. It's...

So I took the torque tube back off to check the holes on the new coupler look right and they do. The holes are 1 1/8" from the ends of the coupler on both the original and the new. I did notice something though. The spline coming from the pinion is threaded. If I loosen up the nuts can I...
