I am going to a swap meet this weekend and will keep my,out for some emblems!

38/39 ford pickups and truck engine side panel emblems use small stainless steel carriage bolts available from McMaster-Carr. 8-32 thread either 1/2" or 5/8" should work part # 9235A112 or 92356A113 about $ 12.00 for a box of 25. I do have them but I would have to charge probably $2.00 each plus...

I don't thing the oil pressure sending unit would cause a battery drain, however if you disconnect your battery and place a test light between the battery and the battery cable ( in series) and the bulb glows you have a drain you could then disconnect your sending unit and confirm if that is the...

Could you post a picture of your heater box I have one from a 39 pickup that I won't be using it is not in great shape but It might contain some parts that you could use. I worked for a company years ago that repaired aircraft fuel pumps they sent the motors out to (white armature) until we...

I have a 39 pickup, I was contemplating using plastic push pins like on modern cars. It will never be judged as original.

I bought my box from Mac Hill and asked for a factory floor tour when I picked up the panels. I would start by having the reinforced brackets welded into your rear stake pocket brace (at the U shaped rear cross member) I followed how Mac Hill's assembled their box I bought my box with the stake...

What voltage output do you get if you push a small screwdriver in the D shaped hole as shown in the # four picture (11 o'clock position). By using the small screwdriver to ground the regulator tab you bypass the regulator and are checking the max output of the alternator.

I bought a pair of Headlight rims 48-13045 from Bob Drake when they first came out ( seven or eight years ago) and they are too tight to fit the headlight buckets 1/2 ton pickup. I picked up some originals at a couple of swap meets and they fit fine. I should have returned the ones from Bob...
