I have a '37 Ford pickup that is mostly stock with the exception of a newer motor, trans, rear end & brakes. Was a nice original truck when these were changed 30 years ago. Still has the original steering box, column & banjo wheel. There is some slop in the steering box that I want to...

Thanks for the input, fellas.

Thanks for the tip! I wasn't aware of that forum.

I know this isn't Ford, but don't know where else to ask? Big expensive car of some kind - Cadillac, Reo, Lincoln. Etc.? The bracket is heavy cast brass. It's marked CM Hall, MARS Thanks

Going thru an old car guy's estate trying to identify things. Anybody know what this tire lock fits? Thanks

Thanks for the help, everybody. It's one of the things that makes this forum great.

Any opinions on whether this carb is worth anything? It's dirty, but looks good on the outside. I never heard of that brand? Mel

I find it helps me get an idea of the layout by looking at one of the online maps that show an actual overhead view of the area. The streets in the area will be clogged with traffic. Parking for the swap meet is in a field over by the race track, and anywhere else you can squeeze a rig into...

Personally I like that T Racer, and don't think the price is out of line for what has been done. It's another way to enjoy an old car. Many of us have their own ideas of how to enjoy their cars, and I say more power to 'em. Mel :D

That's a great car! Thanks for posting. Mel

That has been my experience as well. Mel :)
