Hi, Would anyone have any suggestions/ideas of what would be wrong with my 1947 Truck? I have removed the fuel tank and cleaned it out, cleaned the carb, all the petrol lines are clean but when I connect it all back up I am not getting petrol to the carb, tried to start the truck on a pull but...

sorry i forgot to answer, no this model has a 22hp engine (60hp) its bit small and under powered compared to the US engine

the previous owner started the restoration and then he became sick and it lay for many years, his son told me the engine was completely rebuilt but I have no proof of that, I had the car out about 8 months ago and drove it about 30miles and it didn't smoke like it is now, since then I haven't...

thank you for your help, yes it might be that. do you think it is pointing at broken rings?

it seems to have oil in the smoke, when I took the cap off the filler the top was tripping in oil.

oil level is exactly right, checked it straight away.

Hi, yes it smells like oil. and its brining oil up the filler too. it only stopped when i stopped the car. i had the car out about 8 months ago and drove it 30 miles and it didn't do this. The car is not knocking or that.

Hi Everyone, I know I am only new to the Barn but I am asking advice again. I took my 1936 out today, her 1st run in the last year. The car went about 4 miles and then started smoking out through the oil filler and though the small pipe coming off the inlet manifold. The car is not knocking...

This is just two photos of the car with the bumper on it and the bumper on the ground with the old 3 bumper guards I have

Hi, Thanks, I think it has worked this time. This is the car at different stages of its restoration

that would fit my car I reckon, i did buy a 1937 one and it don't fit, curve is wrong and its not big enough to cover the holes on the bonnet.

Hi, That is exactly like my car! but its not a matford, a matford one will fit my car but if it can be got. I for some reason am not allowed to post up pictures, maybe its because am a new member.

Hi, For some reason it won't allow me to post photos, i have sent an email to admin to see what is wrong When they get back I will post a photo of the car

I have tried to post a photo but it won't allow me to, its not the same as the US model, its an english designed one and I am unsure if it shares the mascot of another US car

I think my car has the same 1936 bumpers as a US model would have. I was going to buy the repo 1935 ones from bob drake and i didn't know if they would fit it. So I can at least go ahead and get them. Thank you all
