The post about getting fuel from tank to fuel pump made me wonder if there is a source for replacing the factory fuel line with a replacement set? I have a 1941 Pickup and the fuel line is part tubing and part rubber hose. I would like to replace the whole line from tank to fuel pump. Fuel pump...

If you have tickets left, please PM me. Thanks John

Hi Folks, I am sure I have seen within the Ford Barn forums the names of a couple of entrepreneurs who roam the country picking up and delivering larger auto parts for us car enthusiasts. Those parts which are to big for UPS etc. However my search has not turned up anything. Can anyone...

Thanks everyone I have had many personal messages from members with this part for sale. I have not yet had a chance to reply to all messages. I am sure I will find what I need among the replies. Thanks again

Hi folks, I'm Looking for the bearing retainer / rear mount p/n 21A-7085 used for the 3 speed top loader in light trucks with open drive. Thanks!

Hotrod8 If I may add to this, does anyone have a recommendation/suggestions for moving large parts coast to coast? Frame or chassis for example? F.F.

I'm kind of frustrated. I have rebuilt the master cylinder on my PickUp but I am still am having trouble with brakes at times. They dont always "release" after stopping. After a few minutes they will release and will act normal until the next time I have to stop. It really takes the fun out of...

Thank you for all the very useful information. The cause of the problrem was incorrect length parking brake cables which even when released did not allow enough compression of all of the componants to allow the drum to fit. After identifying the problem we removed the cables to test the...

In the quest to get my 1941 Ford 1/2 ton pickup (essentially the same as a 1940 pickup) on the road this Summer. I sought the help of a highly regarded mechanic in my area of North Carolina Terry is his name and he owns and works on a variety of early 60s ford vehicles. Terry has done a very...

Thanks for your comments too Bruce. How much difference will the size of tires make in steering effort? I have noticed that on most these era Fords 1939, 1940 etc. The owners are using very narrow tires in the front. While mine not quite as narrow as the original tires (6:00 x 5 x 16) still very...

Thanks for the encouragement, I'll keep looking. I would like to get an excellent chassis, clean up, make some upgrades to it and then place my current body on it. It has taken me so long to get to the point where I can drive it that I hate to take it off the road for "refinements". Best...

By the way I would give a body part to find a chassis as nice as 39coupe's. Anything I can find as a replacement for the crappy frame I have under my PU is junk or needs repair. Mine is safe but has patches all over it. I feel the body deserves better but cant find a nice one within 600 miles of...

I have the same question. What is the advantage of going with the GM steering box. I have a 1941 Ford P/U and it is unbelievably difficult to steer. If this conversion will make the P/U more fun to drive, I'll look for the parts to make the conversion ASAP. Mechanically (kingpins etc are free)...
