Not looking for criticism but solution here. Just something to try because I also wanted to put a diesel in this old truck. So I am putting a ISB 170 in it. I do not have room for the current steering box location. So looking for anyone that has relocated a box. I have seen the Toyota boxes used...

I have had the 8BA in my 52 F3 for a while now. I just need more of an every day driver. So I am throwing a diesel in it. Just another project I know. But I don't really want to pull the 8BA and let sit. I just not sure how much it is worth now a days. It runs fine, has new water pumps, high...

Had it on the truck for about a year. Always ran fine. Had not started it for a couple of months. Thought I would fire it up and let it run for a little while. Started right up and ran for about 2 minutes and just died. Smoke everywhere from the pertronix. OK I thought these were suppose to be...

So I have the following wiper and wiper arm. http://dennis-carpenter.com/windshield-wiper-arm-blade/p/A8C-17528-A/ http://dennis-carpenter.com/windshield-wiper-arm/p/1C-17526/ For the the life of me I cannot seem to figure out how they connect together. It looks obvious but the arm will not...

At least it makes it down the road now. https://youtu.be/_tM7VgICm-A

this is for a 1952 Ford F3. I bought this Lift Channel: http://dennis-carpenter.com/door-glass-lift-channel/p/7C-8121462-A/ I also ordered this kit:http://dennis-carpenter.com/window-anti-rattler-kit/p/7C-8121460-CA/ I also have new glass. I thought it came with what holds the glass in...

Finally was getting to fire up the 52 Ford 239 8BA and noticed a good amount of oil coming from the inlet side of the oil filter canister. Upon further inspection the brass fitting was cracked. Anyone know where I can get one of these. The side that the line from the block connects to looks to...

Got the flathead running!! I have to thank all of you for the help you have provided so far ;) to get get to this point. It seems to run fine. No strange noises. https://youtu.be/eANqg9-rrL4

I just dropped the engine back in the truck. Before I dropped the distributor in and do the wiring I just wanted to crank the engine over and see if I get oil out of the side of the engine where the oil filter feed line comes out. Nothing comes out. Shouldn't I see oil come out? Do I need to...

I have been searching several vendors and cannot seem to find a complete motor mount assembly (239 flathead). I see the rubber parts for the 52 mounts but not assembly. So I thought I would ask the experts for options. Is there anyone that sells the assembly? Can I use an earlier year assembly...

I been searching around. I see a lot of talk about original size rims and tires. But what have you guys used for after market rims and tires. I see the original diameter was about 34" for the tire. But the width was pretty narrow. I was looking at using an 18x9 rim with a 0 offset. I am a little...

I am tearing down my 239 and inspecting. My understanding is it has not ran in at least 4 years. It actually looks great. Still have to pull the oil pan but I do not expect any big surprises. I can tell it has been rebuilt not too long ago. The pistons are 40 over and there is no ridge at all on...

Just got me a 1952 Ford F3 with a 239 Flathead in it. Always wanted to play with a Flathead. It is not running but can be turned over by hand. So I think there is hope. Have restored several Mustangs so have an idea what I am getting into but looking forward to all the great info on this site to...
