Seth, try Acme Headliners in Los Angeles. They have all the old patterns and a variety of material. www.acmeautoheadlining.com. Rumor had it that they supplied LeBaron-Bonney

I believe most parts vendors have copies of the owners manual for the Columbia. It will give you all the info you need to know about shifting the unit and servicing it. It would also be good to contact John Connelly in Arizona. He sells Columbia parts and is one of the experts on Columbia rear...

That is a well worn piece! Your photo in post #2 looks like those are reproduction ones. It looks like you will have to drill the hole for the door handle pin.

Is the shaft loose or is just the spring missing?

Looks great and thank you. Even an old guy like me has figured out the new format!

Mike thanks for the photo. Looks like there was a change somewhere during the '39 year. With Ford parts (even today) there are changes on the same year model. I call my Explorer the "recall special"! It appears that the seat can only be adjusted forward or back with the bolt holes in the...

Interesting question. I just checked my '39 coupe and it has brackets bolted to the floor and then the seat is bolted to the brackets. Pretty sure my seat is an original '39. On page 3-25 of the V-8 Club's 38-39 book it talks about seat brackets and adjustment holes in the brackets and...

Check e-Bay as a kit is listed with all the pieces for the C-4 to a column shift. $49.00

0ne set of four reproduction running board braces.$20 for the set plus shipping. One reproduction right side tail lamp assembly.$20 plus the shipping. The parts are new parts and never installed.

As the old Greatfull Dead song goes "I will survive".

Also try Mel Gross in California at 714-292-8660. I think he rebuilds those boxes.

A real good guy. He bought a nice original 33 Ford four door from me a long time ago. He bought parts from me and also sold me some parts. RIP Elmer and condolences to his family.

I would loosen the wishbone bolts at each end where it bolts up to the torque tube and rear end and see if that helps.

Add Bauer Electronics in Bend, Oregon for some great wiring. www.bauerlectronicsinc.com Ph3 541389 7755. I believe they also supply many of the V-8 parts vendors.

You are correct about the breaking. One of our club members had one in his '39 and it broke. It cured me from wanting one.
