All set ... thanks everyone!

All set! Thanks everyone!

I have '68 Mustang brakes in the rear, disc swap in the front, all new lines, POR dual master cylinder with 8" booster and disc/drum proportioning valve ... should be all set! :D

Can't ... it is a portal gearbox

I forgot to add I plan to add an electric 16" fan since not enough room for a clutch fan anyway. Hoping to use one of those frame-mount coolers like this https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-331000 They get good reviews ... just don't want to see a cooler mounted to the radiator through the...

Looking for a pair of 1935 16" wire spokes. Prefer something that does not need metal work to fix dents, rusted air hole, etc. I just want to blast, paint and mount a tire. Only need a pair and willing to pay shipping.

Looking for a worn-out set of 32-34 front drums. I have a tractor with a flipped 36 axle and looking to install 16" wires and no need for brakes. Will pay shipping if nothong driving distance and the price is right ... :cool:

Those are pretty tall! I hate to say it but I found a Continental temporary spare that is 16" for a 4" rim and low profile. Gets me to the perfect height to level the frame!

Another use is the old PTO winches on military trucks and Jeeps. Gear oil runs right through but the JD CH grease works perfect! ;)

Great patina! Good job buffing and keeping that look!

I am building up a 1953 Mainline with a carb'd roller 5.0L. I know there are a lot of radiator swaps but the original radiator is all copper and a pretty thick core. I also like the factory look. I can have a local shop swap the bottom port and drain as well as pressure test and clean it...

Good info! I want as thin as possible so will update my post. Likewise on the wheels ... typo. I specifically want the 16" because of height after tire is mounted. I need to keep the diameter as small as possible to keep the tractor level.

Thought I'd share one of my projects ... 1953 Mainline Coupe. Original 6-cyinder with 3 on the tree but manual steering and brakes are a chore to drive with all the morons on the road these days. Currently test-fitting the new engine so I can wire and get linkages nailed down. Motor is a 1986...

OK, here is what I need if anyone has them within 100 miles of SW Michigan or will ship: 2 - 1932-34 front drums - prefer out-of-spec to save money since will not be running brakes 2 - 1935 16" wire wheels - I see lots of sets of 4/5 but don't want to waste the rest

Updated! ;)
