Ford sold a majority of mid-1930's 1 1/2 ton trucks with 6.6:1 rear end gears. This gives about a 45 mph top speed. These were the "optional" gears and the "standard" gears are 5.14:1. The "standard" gears were primarily put into production 1 1/2 ton panel trucks and trucks intended for light...

You should at least do it once. It will probably continue to get smaller as the years progress, but there are still plenty of vendors and parts. I found some NOS parts for my 1935 truck including a front and rear hubcap, horn and light switch rod and a set of Champion 7 three-piece...

The nice green woodie transporter was not for sale. I think the Hershey Space is for the national woodie club. Either the woodie club or one of their members owns it. It was in the exact same space last year at Hershey.

Here's a couple pics I took of the interior of the green woodie truck. It has an interesting history.

The original material used by Ford was thick embossed black-colored cardboard. The embossing process must have been done, I assume, by a supplier with a big roller press. The cardboard material and the process to emboss it are apparently no longer available. Cartouche simulated it with vinyl...

I have all of the Ford Engineering Drawings for all of the interior cardboard parts for 1935 and 1936 trucks and pickups. This includes the 4 door types (each has different hole configurations), the toe boards, cab corners and headliner. I also have several original cardboard panels to use for...

I just returned from 4 days at Hershey and had a great time. I scored some wonderful NOS parts for my 1935 Ford truck at very reasonable prices, talked to a bunch of friends, made a few new ones, and enjoyed rain-free and sunny days. The down side is that the vendor stalls are about half full...

James, The non-delivery fault is with the Post Office. On page 5 of all recent issues of the V-8 Times is a description of the process and timing for requesting a replacement copy. You need to contact Cornerstone Registration by phone at 763-420-7829 or email at...

Heard - Third Gen sells the exactly correct fender welting I'd hesitate to use glue as I needed to slightly adjust mine when putting the fenders on. There is a cutout notch for each bolt. I've attached the drawing for the fender to running board welting for a 1935-36 big truck so you can...

My best guess is that someone must have taken the regulator apart and did not re-assemble it correctly. Also, the images of your regulator's extending arms shows that they are upside down but that won't fully account for the angle of the regulator knob shaft in the dash. I've attached an image...

Michael - The 1934 Phaeton looks to be an older restoration and if it passes your looking at it, then it's a deal. I personally don't like the phaeton body style, but it sure looks great. It would look even better in your garage!

Starting in 1935 Ford offered an optional drivers side sun visor for Trucks. It's the same as was used for cars except the covering material looks the same vinyl-type material as used for the seats. (Ford Part No. 48-406300). I attached a picture on the one I use on my 1935 1 1/2 ton truck...

This may be a good year for bargains at Hershey? I'm anticipating even fewer vendors, but still plenty to keep me walking for 3 days. Prices of cars have come down and the same for parts, so I plan on having fun no matter what shows up. At the end of the show every year I've never left...

Standard equipment in my 1969 VW bus during upstate New York winters was a quilt for every occupant, gloves for everyone and two scrapers, one for the driver and the other for the other person in the front seat to clear frost off the inside of the windows. Funny thing is, not many people wanted...
