Also,remove the cable from the back of the speedo, give the speedo drive a spin with your fingers and see how free the actual speedo spins. The cable on my '38 also broke and it was the speedo had seized up. If that is the case you will need to pull the speedo apart, clean and lubricate the...

You will find that if you "hook" or "hold' the lever in gear, it only puts extra load on the 2nd gear thrust washer and it will crumble into several pieces and fall to the btm. of the box and then you have no 2nd gear at all. It happened to me when I used to travel to an area that had a...

Thanks Mart, yes you are right, I found the same thing. 30 years is a long time, Don was 76. A friend of mine who is a member of the Early Ford V8 Club of America, looked up the register and found Don's wife Carol is still a member. What I need to do now is make contact with her if at all...

Thanks Henry, I have seen that one on here somewhere.

Three owners of 36 Roadster Utes in the US that I was corresponding with back in the 80s are.... Don Yeomans from Broad Brook, Connecticut. Lyle Kalp from Valley Centre, Kansas. Harry W Snyder from Chelwelah Washington. I would love to make contact with these people again, just wondering if...

Can't find this Henry, is it still there?

Django, do you know any other details of your friends 36 Roadster Ute? like Body Number etc. Would love to see a pic. Also what is your friends name if you don't mind me asking. Regards, Johno

Hi.........I used to correspond with several Early Ford V8 enthusiasts back in the 80s by snail mail living in the US. I am from Australia. I have lost contact with these people and often wonder if they are members of Ford Barn. Trouble is, most people on here, me included, go by a made up user...

Hi Big Al, Love this link of the 36 Roadster Ute belonging to Toddle321. I tried to post a reply but there is no box at the bottom and it won't let me post. Any ideas.

On looking at the photos of the 35 roadster ute, I am now uncertain as to where the number plate was, I don't know whether it was on the same bracket as the tail light or not, maybe someone else can help with this.

Old Col, yes you are probably right, have seen so many different tail lights but the utes would use a standard type commercial light I would a imagine. turnpikecruiser, there is a tail light bracket on australian ebay at the moment, same as the one I have, listed as for a pick up...

turnpikecruiser, as far as I know, the ute being a standard model, it would only have had one tail light on drivers side. The light was the same as other 36 models, stainless I think, mounted on a special cast bracket, which was bolted under the body just behind the mudguard. The bracket also...

Hi Turnpikecrusier, I also have a 36 soft top ute. If I can be of any assistance please let me know. You can email me at johno502000@bigpond.com

Very nice vehicle this one, I have had a close look at it, very well restored. I have one of these utes that I hope to start restoring soon.
