    47 steering gear parts in Model A box?

    I am upgrading my 1930 Model A steering gearbox to a 1947 gearbox. First, can the Model A light switch be attached to the end of the 1947 gearbox or will I have to rig up a 1947 switch on the Model A dash? Or, will the interior parts of the 1947 gearbox fit into the 1930 Model A gearbox? It's...

    1953 Ford Pickup - 6 cylinder fuel pump

    Ok, so this is not a Flathead V8 but the 1953 Ford Pickup also came with a six cylinder motor. I know, it looks weird sitting where a V8 should be but hey, it is still a Ford even though it has some goofy stuff attached. Like the fuel pump with the glass sediment bowl sitting upside down on top...

    2004-2006 Ford 5.4 engine

    Engine is starting to make valve noise and occasionally slips into what sounds like the old hit-and-miss engines. Probably the cam phaser mechanism. Will any other engines work to replace the 2004-2006 F150 5.4 with about 140,000 miles?

    1939 Lincoln 4-door value

    A friend of mine died recently and left two Lincoln Zyphers in the garage that the widow wants to sell. They were his Grandfather's cars. I saw them about 50 years ago and they were solid and complete and are still parked in the same garage now. I suggested a well known auctioneer but they...

    Steering column bushing

    I have a 1959 Ford F100 and want to put in a 60's Fairlane steering column. The bottom end of the column has no bushing or seal on it now and the shaft can flop around within the surrounding tube. I don't know exactly what should be in the gap between the steering shaft and the surrounding...

    Engine pans

    My Model A does not have engine pans. Other than keeping the engine clean and cool will adding them cut down the engine/chassis/road noises?

    Mr. Brumfield

    Larry Brumfield, the maker of the famous Brumfield heads and former long-time Fordbarn poster passed away January 4 in Waco, Texas. He was the most ornery friend I ever had but probably one of the most knowledgeable Model A engine gurus in the hobby. RIP Larry.

    I have a 47 six-cyl radiator I want to put into my 47 coupe that has a flathead. Other than adding another two outlets, is there any difference in dimensions or mounting systems between the two radiators? Are the hoses the same diameter?

    Earthquake

    Earthquake in NW North Carolina today, 5.1, almost in Brent Terry's backyard. The Model A's were probably rocking but they are used to that. I hope Brent didn't have any damage in his new shop.

    Model A 350/350 Virus

    I saw a Model A in distress yesterday. It looked so sad. It's headlights were drooping and it's tires were all swelled up around some round aluminum things. There was a "crate" something hanging from an engine hoist, staring and smiling wickedly. The Model A's shocks were stressed to their...

    Mice eliminator

    This is simple. First plug up all holes into the garage if you can. Where you can't plug them up, like at the end of an overhead door, place a plain old snapper trap up against the wall near the hole, trigger side against the wall. Don't need any bait. When the mouse comes in it will walk...

    Sticking windows

    I had new glass put in my 47 Ford Coupe along with new channel linings. The windows in the doors worked smooth at first but after awhile they became hard to crank up. Then one of them cracked. They seemed to be jamming between the door panel and the inner window trim pieces as they came up...

    Need outside door handles for 1959 F100

    I need both outside door handles for my 1959 Ford F100 pickup. Last owner shaved the doors but quit before the project was finished. I think 1957-60 will fit.
