have this turn signal setup "Fomoco SXTS-6"? was plum full of 10 ga house wire and big perdy orange wire nuts ( same folks wired my dash back in the day - I suspect it was Ronnie Milsap and Stevie Wonder) anyway - would love it if someone had a diagram for this they'd possibly share? asked...

Good Morning Folks! - Looking for some pics of Front Suspension - factory shock mounts setup - and Rear Suspension - same same... the Green Bible leaves me questioning a few things on direction/placement...and given the fact that I will screw it up if given the chance. only difference I have...

what else changes w tube shocks? wanting to put old girl back on the ground... perch pin is different? no more dogbones etc...? lemme know! Thanks

yes...BUT... if you look at the stretched axle on the bottom of the pic - Sid cannot stretch ( Drop) a real '48 axle due to the shorter indentation between the perch pin and the kingpin areas - the incomplete indentation makes the metal want to deform... so - he's does like the axle in the pic -...

the oem mounts brackets are hard to come by - not expensive but not around everyday. I did pick up some from Sid today he grabbed at a swap meet - 25 bucks...a few hrs after I wrote this. I got lucky... ever meet that person who has what you need and just when you need it? That's a good one to...

My '48 coupe has Houdailles on all 4 corners - want to put tube shocks on in their place - it seems everything aftermarket I find requires the sway bar to be removed... I'm a little unsure about this? maybe it's required for a drop? I am installing a 4" dropped axle and reversing the spring...

OK - so - yes I've read all the posts on identification etc... pretty sure I have a regular old stock 1948 crank ( 59AB) but - is this bad boy maybe an early aftermarket replacement? no markings other than a 4 stamped on the first flyweight - no clean out hole on the first one - and the fat...

I've got a '48 "Sedan Coupe" according to the 46-48 "End of an Era" Ford book - the only way to get a Sedan Coupe was in Super Deluxe trim ( 1948) so, you'd have a V8 - longer doors - back seat - if you set the coupe and the Sedan Coupe side by side - it's apparent. I don't believe you could...

Other than that, I have the situation well at hand LOL

Thanks for the tip - new issue is the clips that hold the fuzzies to the door -they performed nice on the driver door - on the passenger door they seem to collapse on install and not spring back - like the heat treat is no bueno and the depth of the bend is wrong... they need more tension...

Passenger door channels/felts were exactly as the kit...i began with the drivers door-hoping to use the pass. Door as a reference...that didn't turn out so good! Ha. Turns out the driver door had an old weld repair to the aft channel bracket and it made the fit pretty hinky. It would bind...

I've got a 10' Wysong in my shop from 1936...yours is much prettier! Mines just a dirty workin girl!

I'll give that a shot! Been wrestling the vicious and deadly vent window gasket (no winner yet) and the just as thrilling rear side window seals (-those have been subdued.) Thank you gentlemen! These kits looked so quick and easy just sittin there in the catalog all pretty and new. Sad to say I...

Any ideas on the short channel with the strap steel? It doesn't go in the leading edge, that is a channel abt a cpl feet...just like the one Ford put in... Maybe I'm smarter than the engineers and will not need the extra part? Lol

[/ATTACH]Got a replacement door window channel/ felt kit from Bob Drake... Most of it is self explanatory plus some bird doggin on this forum except a couple pieces. There's a roll of foam tape, a felt channel w a strap steel end and neither seems to duplicate what I removed from the...
