Chassis is sold

Build the speedster or move that body to a nicer frame with this 1926 or 1927 Model T Ford complete chassis, engine, transmission. Engine turns over and everything moves. Rebuilt coil packs. Rebuilt magneto will be included (current one shows low voltage, if I checked it correctly). New kingpins...

I moved my '26 coupe body to my stock '31 chassis

Wow, no doubt. Maybe I should keep mine together for a bit...

"Back in the day", this was done to combat people registering on the HAMB just to post stuff for sale. Also helped curtail some of the scam artists.

I'm working on my 1953 Mainline 215, and was really excited to take it for a drive, until the water pump started pooping mud out of the weep hole. I quickly got on eBay and found an NOS Western Auto water pump with surface rust for a good price. My question is, should I do anything to lubricate...

Thanks for the response. I have a milling machine and tooling. So maybe a couple of thousandths? The bushings are to be reamed or honed to .502-.504", so I'm guessing it's the same. I wasn't sure if there was some strange reason the axle boss had to be a little looser, but .010" seemed...

Got the front end apart on my '26 Coupe. Every bushing is shot, so I'm replacing them. I roughly measure the kingpin holes in the axle at .510", while the kingpins measure about .4996" (in a 55° garage). I know I need to ream the spindle bushings, but can anyone tell me what the axle boss...
