Also found the same conductive insulators on a new wiring harness for my wife's 1941 pickup. The harness was built by a very reputable manufacturer who was very distraught to hear of the issue. I don't think this is a matter of one parts supplier, I think the suppliers are all buying from the...

Sent the one's I bought for my truck back to the seller and they replaced them very promptly with quality replacements. I still have to get all of the others out of Dad's truck and send them back. We thought we had all of them shrink wrapped or electrical taped, but on a shakedown run we had...

They most definitely are! Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

Check your A-14487 wire connectors. Some of them have conductive insulation and can cause fires. We've had a bunch of trouble on Dad's '29 AA. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

I have received a few requests lately for these prints and thought I would try to share them again. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info fellas. Sorry about the orientation Mart, I was having enough difficulty posting with this phone anyway. Thanks for the repost Mercman. I knew it didn't look anything like the one in my '41 V8 half-ton. I was just going off what the fella who sold me the parts said it was...

Thanks, I had a feeling that it wasn't, but wanted to make sure. I got it with a cache of '40-'41 pickup parts I bought and didn't have much trust in the sellers word. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

Looking for verification that this is a 1941 4 cyl Pickup front cross member. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

We're not planning on showing it as a points truck, but I do want it to appear as close as possible to original. The wife plans on running it at the Newport Hill Climb and there's penalties added to your time for modifications and if it's too modified it will not be allowed to run, not that...

As I said I have been lead to believe that alternators are safer and more reliable (by car guys in general and friends who have experienced electrical fires and cooked batteries) and I wasn't sure so I thought I'd ask folks who have actual experience with flatheads and generators and...

Calm down there buddy I'm not even planning on running a radio. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

$390 at Speedway for the repop. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

Longevity is definitely one of my concerns, as we are planning to drive it regular and often. Thanks for your response. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

Working on the wife's '41 PU resto and I am contemplating the purchase of a stock appearing alternator. Still planning on running 6v pos ground. I've always been told that alternators are safer/more reliable and I guess that's why I'm thinking about it. I know this may be a can of worms, but...

***FOUND ONE. THANKS*** Looking for a gas pedal assembly for the '41 1/2 ton PU I am restoring. Need all the little bits and pieces for it too. I have a '32-'34 pedal and cross tube, but that's it, so I could make do with just the other bits if someone has them. Thanks in advance. Sent from my...
