Can anyone tell me why Ford sleeved motors in the factory in 1941? When rebuilding a factory sleeved motor, can you just pull the sleeves and hone that bore and be OK?

Great stuff Chris, thanks.

OK, I need some helps with Brakes on my 36 5-W. I am converting my wide-5's to 16" steelies. I am all set with the Front. I have a pair of 40 rear drums that the hubs are good, but the drums are shot. I have a swedge cutter, so I am going to separate the hubs from the drums. So here is the...

You would be willing to sell one or trade for what I have?

The right one looks just like mine. Who is B-O-B?
