Newc has the right idea! I had lots of '33-'37 parts, blocks, and other "stuff" and it all went to Ford Foundation in Auburn, IN. Loaded up a U-Haul and drove to Foundation(estimated $9,000). They were very HAPPY and so was I!!!

If you have vacuum wipers, then hook up to port from intake manifold.

When restoring my pickup bed, I remove metal flooring and found birds eye maple that was tongue/grooved underneath the metal flooring. Had to replace most of the wood (rotten)so I made picture frames with the "good" maple and used oak as replacement from Macks. Used black stain on the new...

THANKS for response, I have 1957 country squire and needs some mats.

What kind of floor mats were available in 1957 from factory or dealer for 1957 Fords? Were they rubber, carpet, vinyl?

Karl is correct about the screens for '32,'33 and '34 trucks.

An unfortunate loss to Early Ford V8 hobby!!! He had so much info and insight to our hobby and 1932 Fords. He can not be replaced!!! HE will be missed.

My '34 pickup has the original floor board and it is plywood(black stain/black paint).

I run "recreation fuel"(no ethanol) in my '34 and '57 and I have no fuel problems. Fuel is more $$ but vehicles run GREAT. Get that "corn " out of the fuel!!!

Restoring is when you can do most jobs yourself and then finding the right people do "those things" you do not have the equipment(engine rebuilding etc). I have"fun" restoring and the best part is "driving " your pride and joy. These cars/trucks need to be driven and not just sitting in the...

Andy: If you lived closer to Auburn, IN, you could "donate" your parts to Early Ford V-8 Foundation. That is what I did this past September. Drove a U-haul full of parts and 4 flathead engines. My wife was so happy that the parts left our garage. I got a nice letter and tax deduction from...

Possible binding head screws: #350129(No. 10--32); #350227(No. 12--24); #3500229(No. 12--24). These are taken from Automotive Hardware and Trimming Supplies, Ford Motor Company, November 1934, Form# 2417. I bought this "book" years ago and has pictures and descriptions of fasteners, screws...

I agree with Model51, Dave. It took me over 25 years to restore my 1934 pickup!!! Lot of time and $$$ but was fun and very rewarding. Best part now is DRIVING!!!!!! You have to be patient, unless $$$ is not a problem.

I bought front panel, metal floor and tailgate for my 1934 and was very pleased with the "fit".with all. I purchased the parts in 2008.

GREAT photos of TRUCKS!!! MY 1934 pickup is "out" all the time. Had a 1937 1 1/2 ton dump and I donated it to the Early Ford V8 Museum in Auburn, IN. It is in a "nice" home for all to see.
