So I'm moving ahead with this tank. I cleaned it out, gave it a first coat of paint, cleaned up the float gauge and put on a new poly float bobber, and made some mounting brackets to put it on. I'll hold it to the mounts with straps and clamps. Still trying to decide if I try to make a cap...

A bit more detail. I was able to remove the gauge from the tank, and also found that there is a pickup tube going to the bottom of the tank.

Hey there, I bought this gas tank the other day for my project. I was told by the seller that it is model T. Not sure if that's the case or not. Hoping someone here can set me straight, and maybe point me to a source for a gas cap, and how to remove/repair the "gauge" in the tank. Thanks! J

This engine and transmission came as a spare with my '29 roadster. It was sitting outside in MT for quite some time. No idea of condition. Local pick up only. $150 neg.

drgoetz, https://vintageautogarage.com/ is still around and has all the parts you need, as well as troubleshooting and instructions. Mac VanPelt www.vanpeltsales.com also sells these overdrive parts and is a wealth of knowledge. Both options are expensive, but I've bought two solenoids now...

Powermaster has a "shorty" gen for this application: I have an Edmunds "dual" that has the carbs set back, and it clears the stock generator just fine. On my 8BA, I use 8RT pumps, so the belt to drive the generator is about 2" forward of other pumps.

Great looking truck! Any insight into HOW you were able to match the patina so well? Did I miss something in the thread? I've got some patch work that I'll need to paint as well, and looking for hints/tips.

Very cool! I'm sure Healdsburg was a really small town back then. Not much to update on: - Got the RR fender repaired by diFalco this week. It had some really bad sheetmetal welding done that I wanted fixed up. - Been cleaning up the paintwork as much as possible, trying to disturb things as...

Here are a few more recent beauty shots. I've since put on the hood and have been driving it as often as I can. I did a drive in January with the Cruisin' North Car Club up here. Drove out to the coast and back. About 60 miles all told. Only broke down once (loose primary coil wire), but...

Here's my '34 when I picked it up, and today (less the hood)...

Also found the what looks like the original bill of sale...no price listed, tho.

Started cleaning up with the cab. Trying to go easy to preserve the pinstripes and character...

Any time! If you're in Petaluma, no problem.

Took it for a longer drive last Friday...seems to have a miss... https://youtu.be/JDj3Gt2-2JI

Thanks! I'm loving his truck. We took it to a show today. Crowds gathered to look at the newb in town
