I am hoping that someone can steer me toward some information on how to remove and reinstall/service/torque the wheel hub/brake drum assemblies on my 1935 Ford 1-1/2 ton truck. It has full floating rear axles. I am mostly interested in the rear. I have a stuck rear brake, but have never had...

I have a 1935 Ford Big Truck, with the 85HP Flathead V8. I am having trouble getting it to run properly. I have owned this vehicle a short time, and when I got it, it didn't run, and all I did initially was to swap battery posts because it was wired backwards, and clean the coil terminal for...

I have a 1935 Big truck (model 51), with the original hydrostatic fuel gauge system. I am in the process of cleaning out the fuel tank and restoring a corroded fuel gauge sender. The sending unit is in restorable condition, for the most part, but the main air chamber is too far gone to repair...

I have a `35 1-1/2 ton truck, new to me, starting to get things working. The generator is not charging, so I pulled it for a look. The generator has a broken field coil wire, so I don't suspect the cutout, but I have been looking a great deal for the cutout that is mounted on this generator, I...

I need to replace the intake manifold on my 1935 Ford 1-1/2 ton. The one I have is cast iron. Is there any advantage to going to an aluminum manifold, or a newer one if it fits? I read somewhere that the intake manifold itself is the same from 1935 to 1948, except for the vent/oil filler tube...

I am restoring a 1935 1-1/2 ton truck, with very little previous experience and knowledge. The hood on my truck appears to be in good condition, under about 1/2" of bondo from years ago. The bondo is falling off, and the hood itself is quite flimsy, and in my opinion, appears to be too...

I am having a very hard time finding a transmission-to-driveshaft u-joint assembly. This one is 6 spline to the transmission, then a u-joint, then a 6 bolt flange that bolts to a flange on the inner drive shaft (closed drive shaft) See the pictures. The u-joint itself is good, the flange...

I have 1935 Model 51 tonner that came with a PTO on the transmission. I am looking to remove it, and replace it with the stock cover. I would like to find someone who could use the PTO, and would buy it, and as part of the deal, swap the cover for the PTO unit.

I plan to post the build progress, mostly in pictures as I attempt a frame-up restoration of this truck. I am fortunate that the truck is mostly there, and in good shape. I have some spare parts- if anyone needs a carb, distributor or fuel pump, let me know. I have a spare 85hp flathead, but...
