Hey fellas, I thought I had all of this worked out but now...not so sure. Which one of these pics is correct? Or are both of them wrong? Thanks!! Heard

I'm finally ready to mount the front fenders on my '35 pickup and I need some help from you guys that have done this. Does the welt go from end to end of the fender? If not, can someone post a pic please. Any tips on installing the welt? I would think it should be glued in some fashion to the...

I'm trying to get my fenders and grille shell installed for the last time (I hope). Do splash pans go under the grille shell or over the grille shell? Thanks! Heard

What is the proper way to install the rear window? It appears from the rubber seal I got that it should be glued to the cab opening somehow, then install the glass using the pull string trick. Then the trim can go on. Am I on the right track with this? Thanks, Heard

I have one of these regulators in my '35 pickup that is set up for 12v. The 6V gauge reads about 1/2 full when the tank is empty. The sending unit is from Drake that I bought along with a new fuel tank. Can I just add some resistance to this circuit to make the gauge more accurate? Thanks, Heard

Good Morning! I bought some new stainless support rods for my '35 pickup a few years ago from Drake. I finally got ready to install them yesterday and discovered they are about 3 inches too long. The original rods are about 29 1/4 inches long. These Drake rods are way too long. I'm not...

Can someone please clarify for me the anti squeek stuff that goes on the cab wood as to number and location? I only recovered 2 pieces of this stuff from my '35 pickup. Does this stuff go between the frame rail and the wood and also between the cab and the wood? Also, does it go around all 3...

Can someone remind me who it is that rebuilds the Stromberg 97s? I'm having a helluva time getting my coupe to start. It acts like it has no fuel. If I use some starting fluid I can get it going but it is still a real pain. Once it starts, it runs really strong and well. If I run it every...

Does anyone know of an electric wiper motor that will fit in the header of a '35 pickup? I am aware of the Newport Engineering solution but I don't want to have to cut the header so I'm looking for a single wiper motor that will fit. Thanks, Heard

I'm sure this has been covered a lot over the years. You guys that have done this a hundred times, what is the best way to seal the threads on the head bolts. I think I'm going to have to replace the heads on my 8BA in the coupe. Last time I had the heads off, I wasn't sure I would ever get...

Fellow Barners, it is with great sadness that I report that Dick Davidson has passed into God’s arms. You knew him as V8Coopman. My first encounter with Dick was about 10 years ago when I was looking for advice regarding putting better brakes on my ’36 coupe. Somehow we just hit it off and as...

Are the inner fenders supposed to be cab color or fender color? Also, are the heads of the hinge mounting bolts supposed to be painted cab color? Thanks! Heard

Does anyone sell this stuff that is wrapped around my garnish moldings on my '35 pickup? Or what might be a suitable substitute? It is on both side windows and the rear. I haven't seen this stuff from any of the normal suppliers. I suspect it is some anti-rattle stuff but don't know for sure...

Can anyone endorse the Mack Products pickup beds? Not that I really have a lot of choices....... Thanks, Heard

Does anyone have patterns or the layout of the glass channel dimensions including where the glass mounts in the channel and also showing the details of the lift tracks, that is...how long they are and where they mount to the glass channel? or alternatively (and even WAY easier), is anyone...

You guys that are using AF meters, where are you placing the O2 bungs? Are they going in the headers or after the headers. I'm asking 'cause if they go in the headers, now is a good time for me to do that. Thanks, Heard

Can someone tell me what color these are?

Can anyone instruct me as to how to disassemble the parking brake handle on my '35 pickup. This is the handle with the spring loaded push button at the top. I want to refurb this thing but I don't see how that springy thing comes apart. Thanks, Heard

......again. What trustworthy vendors are still doing instrument restorations? Thanks, Heard

As I continue on my 10 year refurb of my pickup, I'm finally ready to try to start the engine, an 8BA that I had Gary Sharkey (GosFast) build for me a few years ago. Of course I want to be sure I have good oil pressure before actually starting the engine. I have read a number of threads...
