My 28 roadster pickup has also been a single family car. Was originally bought in Missoula, MT to my (now ex) wives great great grandpa. Her family joked about how it was the second truck in Missoula, because her great great grandpa ordered the first and had the first one sold out from under...

I have a call in to him. Funny that he probably lives down the street. Can you you pm me any info on the beaver chapter. Its a ways to travel but might be interested in joining. Rob

Its the type 3 with the 2 long bolts and a single screw holding the field coils. Its on an august 1928 car. Would a type 4 fit if the rebuild takes a bit? Whom would you trust going through it? Rob

Hi all, I have a mid 1928 starter (1/2" shaft) that is really weak and I need to have it rebuilt. Are there any recommendations for places near Portland Oregon to do this? My guess is the armature needs work, but I'm no expert on starters. Rob

Opps.... i guess i get one mistake :) I was looking at it thinking it was off and i needed to adjust it. Hehe.

Folks, Just thought id share my rebuild over the winter. I had rust coming through and body work needed, so i went for it. It turned into more than that after rust was found under the frame paint and everything came apart and rebuilt (minus the motor). At least i verified the frame stamp...
