No problem with Powermaster products. Where / what do you need help with? Removing and installing the replacement? This is part number 92507 which is a higher torque version of the stock starter.

What is Xenforo? https://xenforo.com/

Just installed Diamondback 205-75-15 on my 49 woodie. Replaced 6 year old Cokers, which had a bubble on the sidewall. As Tim Brown says, I would never use Coker again. Coker sold in 2018...

Shoebox - Summit pays the shipping, same cost as quoted by the supplier. Call Summit with the specs / part numbers from Ross. I've sourced tires with Summit, ships direct to the tire shop, no freight charge.

I thought going from Redlands to Long Beach would be cooler weather! Expect 90.

No issues on my 49 wagon with a 12v solenoid.

Dan in Mi has it correct...3/8-16NC x 2

My shoebox experience is with a 49 wagon, and have rebuilt the steering box, the stock suspension, replaced all the body mounts. Radial tires, 205 75 15 35 PSI. This steering linkage upgrade: https://shoebox-central.com/1949-1950-1951-ford-steering-linkage-tie-rod-upgrade-kit-new made an...
