Thanks for letting me know about the ZIP.

Interested in selling our 1937 Ford Fordor Sedan. We have owned it for over 13 years. Rebuilt motor shortly after purchasing, have driven roughly 40,000 miles since purchased. Starts up on 1st try and runs like a top. Has original 21 stud '37 motor, with headers. Has been converted to 12volts...

Yeah, thats a pretty good front clip. I have a 50 panel that I need the front clip for, but I'm not really concentrating on it now. Now sure how I would handle shipping from CA. Had a fender bender in my 48 and I just need the two fenders I have listed. I have several other fords and parts to...

Hello, Looking for 1948-50 Ford F1 Metal Fenders in good/great shape. I really need the passenger rear, and driver front (with upper and lower). Looking for something relatively close to Georgia, not interested in excessive shipping cost or traveling more than 6 or so hours for them. Also...

I had to replace my front springs in my 48 F1 anyways, so I put Posie Super Slide springs up front with a disk brake conversion. Left the rear stock. It drives like a dream and sits just right.

Well, I bought a standard 12v solenoid at Napa and I found out that the pushbutton from about 53 to 56 on a Ford F100 will work, it has 2 connections on it.

Hello. Converting my '37 over to 12volts. I was wondering how most people handle operating the starter solenoid. The original button shorted the solenoid to the body. Is there a 12volt solenoid out there that will still work by shorting it to the body with the original pushbutton start, or does...

Thanks for all the replies. I've in that block many, manytimes, and its in pretty good shape! I kept all the valve assemblies together and marked. I think I'll try to find a press on aluminum gear and use my cam. It ran great, best its everran before that happened. Gonna drop the pan and clean...

To be more specific, What years of camshafts will work. No need to swap motor out, its solid, i just need a cam, not interested in fiber gear!

I just got my '37 Sedan running a couple of weeks ago. I had leaking head gaskets and had to tear it down. I have had problems with it not "purring like a kitten" ever since. Even after rebuilding the distributor a million times, and even testing on a Sun Machine with no problems, it still...

Looking for decent seats for a 1948 , 1949, or 1950 F1 panel Truck.
