You can try C&G Early Ford Parts. They have brake lines for 39-48 Fords. I don't know if the bends are the same for the early Fords compared to what would be needed for a Model A.

Bert's has some hydraulic brake parts. CW Moss has some also (they have both Model A and 1932-1948 early Ford parts). C&G Early Ford Parts also has 1932 - 1948 parts. There are probably other early v8 parts places that carry parts for hydraulic brakes.

What is the name of the company? Do you have any contact info for them?

I believe he retired and no longer makes the radiators. They are good radiators if they are still made.

There is a website that sells (among other things) trailer hitches. I have bought other things from them in the past with no problem. Some of the hitches listed indicate the maximum towing weight and tongue weight. For example, one specifies a weight capacity of 2000 lbs and tongue weight of...

As far as I know, Randy is still selling these steering boxes and Model A brakes. We emailed each other a few months ago. Please note his information in the Fordbarn Swap Meet are under Mel Gross (his father). Here is a link to their Swap Meet info...

Check in your scanning software (usually in settings) and see if you can tell if it is scanning at 300 dpi, 600 dpi, etc. If you can change it, use the highest dpi you can on the software you have.

The late Jay Steel of Taylor Engines strongly recommended full flow oil with insert bearings when he rebuilt my engine.

Glacier National Park has a fleet of 1936 - 1939 White buses still in use for tours. They have retrofitted the engine and transmission (Ford) for better driving, but the rest of the bus is like original. Use your browser search and put in Glacier National Park Red Bus and you can see pictures...

The last time we had snow in my area was about 1987 and it only stuck on the ground for a couple of hours. So I don't drive my Model A in the snow. We only get rain occasionally (although it rained yesterday and today :)). So, again, I don't drive the Model A in the rain. Luckily we have lots...

Having experienced the Northridge earthquake (6.7 magnitude) here in SoCal several years ago, I agree with your statement. It does take a while for things to get back to normal, but they will. I wish you, all the Model A people up there and all the people of Alaska affected by this as speedy a...

My first thought is whether the heat of the fire damaged the metal of essential parts such as the frame. Beyond that, I don't have any experience with a fire damaged vehicle. Good luck with restoring your truck - I am pulling for your success on this project to bring your truck back to life.

I'm very sorry for your losses, but thankful your family and pets are ok. I am about 2 miles from part of the Woolsey fire in SoCal. Our home and my Model A are fine. Let's hope our great firefighters can contain these fires as soon as possible and everyone can help others recover and/or rebuild.
