I would love to have a discussion with anyone who knows how the oil flows through the filter of an early v8 canister oil filter, that was installed on 1932+ v8s, often as a dealer, after-sale option. While changing my oil and filter I discovered that there appears to be no way for the oil to...

I am looking for the proper gear lube for a 1934-5 one and a half ton truck 4 speed transmission. It doesn't have synchros. I have been told I have to use GL4 gear lube but it's have proven difficult to find. Can I use GL5 in this trans or are there outer "yellow metals" in it that would be...

Not that Rance. I live in Joseph or

Yep, those fenders look perfect compared to what I started with. Can't commit murder, couldn't work on my truck from behind bars! If my truck would have looked even close to yours I would have done the mechanical restore and left the body/paint alone. Your truck will really turn heads the way it...

Thanks for all who replied to my AAB question. The story, photos later. I bought the truck in 1970 from a no. Cal rice farmer who was cleaning out his barn. $50 got me the truck and a 1935 pink slip that didn't match anything. The number on the trans is BB 18-1081254, which, as expected doesn't...

I have had what I thought was a 1932 BB truck for 50 years. This morning I read on a Ford history web site that the BB didn't come out until 1933. Then I see on this forum a barn find 1932 dump truck (I'd kill for the front fenders and hood on that truck) the new owner is calling a 1932 Ford...

Yes, that lever is the reverse lockout. Just like my 33BB

Thanks for this information. It looking wrong is a great excuse for not letting anyone who would actually know it's not technically correct from ever looking under the hood!

I purchased a new fuel pump for my 32-34 ford truck v8 (like 30 years ago-long project). Now Im looking at a photos of fuel pumps on Bob Drake (looking for fuel pump to carb fuel line) and the pump I got seems to match the one drake sells for late 46 and newer. It looks like the one I have will...

Thanks to all you who took the time to respond to my mechanical/electric fuel pump question. My truck was stock (farm truck) the last time I drove it (about 40 years ago) and it vapor locked going up hills on a hot day. I was young then, now I'm not so would like to avoid the problem. I had the...

Im sure this has been discussed ad nauseam but I don't see how to do a search on topic Im just going to ask. I have an early 21 stud v8 with one Stromber 97. Have had vapor locks so wanted to go to electric fuel pump. Is there any reason I can't run my stock pump and a flow through electric pump...

This may not be the correct place to post this. If not, I apologize. I have three early 1.5 ton Ford truck wheels that are surplus to my needs. All three have 7.50-20" tires mounted on them. One has a 3" offset (from edge of riveted center to outside of fixed flange), one 3.5" offset and one 4"...

Can someone tell me (and show me photos) of what tools/jack came stock in a 1929 Tudor produced in January of 29?

Trying to figure out which Mitchell over drive gear ratio to order. I have a stock 29 tudor, new motor, but not modified running a stock trans and stock ratio rear end. Sounds like most pick the 26% but I am wondering about the 36% over. Could my stock motor pull those higher gears? Any ideas?

Where is the proper (stock) location for the foot rest (in relation to accelerator pedal)?
