Is anybody on here willing to part with a spare 19" Garfield (or other similar brand) used whitewall tire that has a little life left in it? I believe Garfield stopped making them 20+ years ago? Basically something in "shop-roller" condition that could also serve on a minor test drive here...

For clarification, the weatherstripping I am referring to is the same as this post by Marco Tahtaras in 2010. I do not know where to get a hold of this stuff.

Tom: Did you ever solve the issue with the gap between your Murray window glass and outside door panel? I am replacing my window glass/channels and so am in the same situation right now. As far as I can see, there is no reproduction of the correct weatherstripping for this gap. I need...

I am restoring a 1930 Murray Town Sedan. I am currently challenged with getting the front seat function once again. The problem: I am missing the "nut" for the adjuster, that mounts to the floor (or I should say that the one I have is broke in half). Please see the attached photo. Please...

Thanks for the input everybody. This pitman arm is definiltey "scrap metal". This was just what was on my project car that I have not yet gotten to a drivable condition. I am almost there though! I was just surprised to see the pitman in this condition so I posted it here to see what you all...

I thought of the possibility that this could have somehow become bent over the years. But when i look closely I seem to think more that this was cast in this shape. I think I have a pitman arm from a different Ford, but what? Anybody recognize this? Or maybe it just really is bent....

I have been working on my project Model A (early 1930 sedan) this weekend and ran into an issue with my steering pitman arm. I compared my arm with those in the parts catalogs and it looks like my arm is different! Attached are a couple photos of what I have. My pitman arm measures just under...

I just sent a set of original shocks to Robert Paul about a month ago for rebuild. In our phone converstations he made no indication that he was going to be soon stopping this service. Did you actually communicate with Robert about this statement?

What about door interchangability between years of the same maker? For example would a 1930 Murray door fit a 1929 Murray body?

Thanks, guys. That makes it simple. Only "Murray for Murray" and "Briggs for Briggs"!

Hello All, What is the interchangability of doors on Model A 4-door bodies? Obviously, Murray vs Briggs window details differ, but are all doors interchangable? Also did Ford make some 4-door bodies? Are doors from these bodies interchangable with the other manufactures? If year matters, I...

I found a photo of a very interesting 1928-1929 Model A in the Wiscinsin Historical Society online archives. It has been highly modified (to say the least)..... my guess is so it can traverse the deep snows of northern Wisconsin?! Here is a direct link to the WHS website with a description...

Maybe some of you more experienced posters could help me answer this question: Did Ford offically produce any "camping" trim As? The reason I ask is that I was at a local car show a couple weekends ago and one entrant was displaying what he called a camper model A. It was basically a fordor...
