I need about 5-6 of these special washers. They are used on the two rear passenger door hinges to seat the special clipped head 5/16th" hinge machine screws. I've sourced new hinge machine screws and they are excellent products but the replacement washers are too deep to seat properly in the...

So I bit the bullet and disassembled my rear passenger door latch trying to determine what was broken. It appears that the springs are intact but had managed to flip around past their correct resting spot so that they no longer produced resistance. I put everything back into place and all is...

I'm repairing and refinishing the wood on my 41. In doing so I'm trying to remove the metal brackets that secure the roof to the B,C, and D pillars. I've removed all of the machine and wood screws visible from inside the car from the B pillar bracket but it doesn't want to come off. I'm...

Broken spring in rear/side door latch. Does anyone know of a repair or rebuilder for Ford door latches?

In searching for a car I ran across an ad for what is being advertised as a 1950 Ford Crestliner Convertible. The problem is I don't remember that a convertible was produced in a Crestliner model. I just remember the tudors with the large two tone cove area on the side and maybe a vinyl top...

Replacing the door weatherstripping on the woodie and don't know what is correct. I purchased a kit for all four doors and there are two different mouldings. One has the profile of wooden quarter round and the other is shown in the attached photo. From reading the description it appears that...

Needing a Grill Chin for my '41 Woodie (passenger car sheet metal not truck/commercial). Of course I would prefer NOS but would take a decent one with no rust out.

Blew a seal in my floor jack today which allowed the woodie to crash to earth and pretty much destroy the chin piece below the grill. I don't see any sign of a repro piece for a 41 but there are 40 repros available. Does anyone know how much of a difference there is between the 40 & 41 chin...

Part is for a '41 woodie but I think any '41 model and possibly up to '48 will work. On the drivers side along the seam between the top of the front inner fender and the fender itself are a series of carriage bolts that fasten the two pieces together. On some or all of these bolts is a piece...

I'm finally getting around to putting heat and air on my '41 woodie. For years I've toted around what I thought were the vent cans for it. Started to install them this morning and either they aren't the correct part or I'm even dumber than my friends think I am. Can anyone furnish a link to a...

Anyone with a 41-48 Woodie that can answer a question or two about the installation of tailgate seals. I'm attaching a photo with arrows pointing to the seals that have me stumped. Need an explanation or phone photo showing exactly where these pieces install. Thanks

I've been trying to find a source for new hood hinges and attendant pieces for my '41 without success. All of the listings that I see are for the "late" style" that look nothing like the set on my woodie. I'm not even absolutely sure that these are the original hinges on the car although they...

Ran across this on the auction site. I'm assuming that it's a defroster vent. I've never paid close attention to 36's so I don't know if they had underdash vents. Anyone seen one before, after-market etc.??

Spent the day removing the inner fenders/splash aprons from the front fenders on my 41 Woodie. There is the residue of some sort of seal or welting between the two but all that's left is what appears to be badly deteriorated rubber. I've checked Drake/Carpenter/Mac's/Joblot etc but can't find...
