I do the same but have two minor modifications, I have a block glued on the bottom of the lath that projects out forward of the bumper bar on the front with a small recess to accept the bottom of the flag pole (think of an L shape). I also use a hex nut and carry a wrench after someone used the...

Looking for side curtain irons or pattern for making them for a 1928 open cab pickup

Do you have side curtain rods for 28 open cab pick-up

I need to find a bendix spring for my 28AR, part number A-11375-DR. Any available?

Is this still available, My "Armstrong" starter is beginning to wear out

I have owned mine since 1969 and have grown a little over the years. at 6' 2" and 225 I sometimes struggle a little, particularly in the fall when I am wearing heavier clothing. If you aren't going for purity then the extended cab is probably a good idea cause based on my experience we are not...

Still looking... thanks to both Brian and JW for their efforts.

I also run it out until it stalls because of the smell and fire risk with standing pilots on the water heater. I also always retard the spark and hang the key on the spark lever. I have not exploded a coil but I have had to replace it after Tootsie rubbed against it and turned it to the on...

I researched this and found an article that also suggested white vinegar, bought three half gallon bottles and ran a 50:50 mix in the car for about a15 mile trip. When I drained it the resemblance to dirty ice tea was uncanny. I have repeated this process three times and now it comes out...

Thank you so much, I am learning new things day by day!

Wanted - I need to find a bendix spring, part number A-11375-DR, that is 1 3/16" O.D. for a '28 AR or a complete DR Bendix Drive

I agree but since I have a couple extra 5/16" USS bolts I am in the process of giving it a try. The T spring I bought from Snyder's is 1 15/16" OD and what concerns me is that its ID is so large, 1 5/16", that the spring rides 'crooked' along the shaft. Unfortunately I, who never throws...

Had just found that described when I read all of Tom's post on the flywheel; it struck me that I might try that. Have you had a similar situation?

Mr. W., It appears I have the one shown in the upper frame of the photo. I am not able to see where the bendix is contacting either the clutch housing or the flywheel, I only know that in past replacements of the starter the engine can not be turned with the crank. Assuming that it won't turn...

I do have 5/8's drive but am leary of buying anymore drives unless I can confirm a diameter. I am going to see if there is sign of contact with the inside of the flywheel housing as was suggested, also going to try the T type spring, when all else fails I still have my trusty crank which REALLY...
