Need a 39 standard cowl (or 38 Deluxe) for a woody project.

I'll try each size to get it right, thanks.

Anyone know size of bolts that hold front seat to frame rails in a 1950 Ford Car?

Cool, I didn't make the connection. Guess I read the message and didn't pay attention to who the reply came from. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your responses.

I have a pair of Wescott rear fenders to use on my 37 Humpback. I don't see any washer kits listed anywhere for 1937, only35-36 and 39-40. Should I use the 39-40? I figure glass fenders definitely need the rubber to prevent splits. How where originals mounted, w/o washers?

J.Seery, thanks, I had that thought about making a shorter socket. I'm going to try it tomorrow. Raining here today. I don't see any other option other than making some cuts in the front, bending the metal to get clearance and then re-welding later.

Gary U. It's a 39 Ford 1/2 ton. The bolts are not under the dash but in the front surrounded by obstacles.

What is the secret to removing the 2 front bolts on the w/s regulator? I've tried all kinds of sockets but unable to find anything that works due to clearance problems. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm at the point where I'm considering cutting some metal to gain clearance.

I'm using a CE parallel spring kit for the 8". The T5 option is looking better and better rather than trying to make the 47 trans fit.

Yes, it's a toploader. I will be running an 8ba and an 8" Ford rear in my 39 pickup. I will eventually go with an S10 set up but thought this would be a quick fix in meantime but the mounting flange bolt holes are not set as wide as original trans so I need to modify the frame mount some how.

Anyone ever put a 47 pickup trans in a 39 chassis? Looks like I need to fabricate the rear mount somehow.

Ah, not looking for approval, just asking a simple question and I'm not dilly dallying or hemming and hawing. Unless you are just joking your attitude kind of sucks.

I'm considering converting my 37 Humpback to a Flatback. Why? Body on hump is nice while other than trunk lid and surrounding sheetmetal the flat is in rough shape and I've always admired the appearance of the slantback 37's. Also I have the rear fenders for the slantback. It looks doable, am...

Replated original 1950 grill. All parts including the splash pan stainless are included. Only thing missing is the hardware. If you are close enough to drop by and inspect you are more than welcome to do so. No disappointments here, it's a beautiful grill. Pictures would not do it justice and...
