Thanks for the tips and pictures.

Hi, I'm kind of new to this scene....I went from a '41 with a flathead to a '47 Sedan delivery. I like the car and will feel comfortable driving it as soon as I install a rear view camera. The side view mirror doesn't offer much when it comes to driving in traffic. My query is (not to sound a...

Just a quick thank you note to the guys who immediately responded to my query as to the dimensions of 1946 Ford sedan delivery. Yay! There will be plenty of room....now, has anyone had any experience with USStar trucking. I'm considering them for transport from Pa. to Mi. Thanks again guys Tony

Hi guys, Wondering if anyone can direct me to where I can find length/width information for a1946 Ford sedan delivery. I'm contemplating a purchase and would like to see how much space it would take up in my small garage. I need wheelbase/overall length and width information. Any direction or...

Just wanted to thank everyone who contributed to my post. I'm a lot smarter about F/H distributors now! Scary stuff!

Hi Guys, just wondering if anyone can give me some direction to understand the distributor on my "41. It's stock, but I'm not familiar with this type of distributor. I'd just like to see some pictures of the assembly, how to change/adjust points and timing. My hands on engine experience didn't...

Hi and thanks to all who replied. I was afraid of the answers I'd receive...I knew it wasn't a snap to switch to an A/T, but didn't want to admit it.... I wish I could swap my car for one of the same quality with an auto, but the market for a really nice sedan just isn't there. I don't have...

Hi guys, Been a long time, but I am asking for some suggestions for an easy way to install an auto trans in my finished '41 deluxe sedan. I woke up one day and found myself to be 82 years old....still need a hotrod but can't shift the old 3 spd, any more. Does anyone sell a reasonable adaptor to...

Thanks for the info guys. It's not exactly what I wanted to hear though....I'm guessing it's pretty tough to get the screws on the gauge side out/in. Can't quite bend like that anymore...(I'm 81)...so I guess I'll have to do a bunch of masking to paint it.

Hi, just looking for knowledge to remove the plastic 3" high strip that runs across the dash on my '41. I would like to take it off for painting, but do not know if it is held on by clips or if there are nuts behind the dash for removal. Any advice would really be appreciated...thanks in...

Once again, thanks to all who responded to my query. I will definitely consider all options... Tony

Hi, I'm trying to bring my newly acquired '41 sedan a little lower to the ground without affecting the ride or basic handling characteristics. Thought I could kill two birds with one stone if I replaced the front and rear springs with Posies 2"dropped springs while I replace the shackles and...

Thanks to all of you who responded...I can see (and understand) the reasoning behind each answer. I am now considering just making sure every component is in top shape. Over the years, I've had many rods and stockers with both single and dual setups. I have never experienced a failure...probably...

Wow! Thanks to both 48 F-1 pickup and 39 Portlander for the immediate information! That is exactly what I was searching for. At 80, I don't feel like building my own adaptors, etc. Time is of the essence!!! Thanks again, Tony

Hi, Does anyone know of an easy conversion method to convert the master cylinder in my 1941 sedan from a single piston to a dual system? I know the original is O.K., but for safety's sake, I would like to have a dual system. It is a stock 3-speed, so there is a clutch assembly to consider. I...
