Thanks....I think I know what you are talking about. If you get a chance though, could you email me a picture of how it attaches to the frame? I will send you a private message with my email. thanks.

I know this is an old thread, but we are at the final stages of assembly on our 1936 Ford, and we can't figure out how to attach this part - radiator splash apron. We bought a reproduction splash apron, as our car did not have one on it my dad bought it back in 1976. The leading edge (with the...

Update: I went ahead and ordered a new vacuum advance diaphragm. Took the distributor out and made the quick change - no big help. I got my old timing light out (not my newer digital one) and tried to use it - just too dim on the 6v system. I went ahead and loosened up the distributor and...

I have noticed a definite lack of power (top speed) in my 49 F1 flathead. What I have done: Change fuel filter. New fuel pump. Remove fuel tank and clean / coat. Previous - new Dennis Carpenter carburetor The engine runs great. No issues at all. Does not smoke or sound like anything is...

My dad has a 50 F1 that he wants to split the exhaust for dual exhaust. We cannot find any headers for a Ford 6 cylinder flathead. Does anyone know of where we might can find headers for the Ford 6 cylinder Flathead? I realize that we can take a passenger car exhaust manifold and a F1 truck...

I called Early Ford V8 before I ordered to make sure they would fit. They assured me that they would fit the Dana 41 with the 4.27 ratio. These guys have these made in Europe and are the only place that I know of that you can get these gears. I don't intend the haul anything of any weight and...

I am going down to 3.54. I think that should make a noticeable difference.

I just fixed it. http://www.earlyford.com/ Click on the "1932 and Later" link and from there under the Categories click on "Rear Suspension and Axle" to get to the part number. Sorry for the confusion. I thought I could use the actual link for the part number.

Thanks for all of the help. I found what I needed. Early Ford V8 sales sells a 3.54 ring gear and pinion set for the 48-50 F1 with a Dana 41 rear end. The part number is 8C-4209-HS and it sells for $395. Their web address is http://www.earlyford.com/ Thanks for all the help and I will...

Here are some pictures of the truck. Just a good solid pickup.

I bought a pretty nice all original 49 F1 with the V8 engine and 4.27 rear end ratio. First of all, I have attached the data plate which is found in the glove box lid. I really don't know what the bottom right hand numbers / letters mean. If anyone can enlighten me on this it would be much...

Safe? No. I think the thing that worries me is the back rear window area and the metal shelf between the seat and that window. I think seat belts would be a big help - anything to keep from having your face meet up with the back window or that shelf. BTW - when I was a kid my mom had a big...

I am in need of an oil fill tube for a 1948-51 226cu in 6 cylinder flathead. This particular engine goes in a 1950 F1. I have one, but it fits very loosely in the block. Does anyone know if it is supposed to have a bracket that also bolts to the engine? thanks.
