Are there any Ford Barn members here in Visalia that would be interested in trouble shooting my 31(Walter). New coil , new condenser. Got horn and lights. No spark at plugs. Church finally having a car show on the 23rd. And now Walter won't go. If anyone here in the area and would like to swing...

Been trying to get Ol Walter started after a winter slumber. I cant get a good spark. I'm getting a little when the points open. But no nice blue spark at the plugs. Battery charged, newer distributor with internal condenser. Had been fine last year. Where should I start ?

I don't have a lot of info other than the passing of a great Model A guy and friend George Pope. George is one of the restorers of Huff and Puff the 1930 school bus. George hadn't been well for a while. We talked on the phone but I didn't get over to which saddens me. George was my go to guy. If...

I'm helping in a buddy's search . He's looking to buy a 28-32 Roadster Pick up. Preferably someone in California. He's had to get rid of his pride and joy years ago due to moving out of the country. He's now back and settled. It's time to get a Ford. He's looking for something in decent shape ...

I have a 31 indented firewall Huster / Woody. I replaced the fuel shut off with new repro. Problem is she wont shut off enough to keep from leaking.. Can anything be done to remedy this ?

I know not Model A but I wondered if anyone has heard the full details on the T stolen in Houston being found ? I've seen bits just saying it was located but nothing more.

I just wondered if there have been any updates on the T stolen on Christmas day in Houston ?

Quick question. Do I have to drop my brake cross shaft in order to remove the speedo gear case ? Cross shaft is right up almost against the gear case. Should it be so close ? Wondering if my rear motor mounts have let things drop a bit ?

I was just wanting feedback on if I should try to work on my 31 rnd speedometer. I've worked on most everything else on Ol Walter but never the speedometer. Is this something left to the professionals ? I had finally put the speedo cable on and had just assumed all worked. I got nothing. Let me...

I attended the antique farm show in Tulare ca. this weekend. We had a booth selling some old stuff. I brought along Walter (1931 Ford Huckster). An older gentleman and I set for awhile as we talked Model A's and T's. After awhile he mentioned he'd like a 30 - 31 pickup. I told him that's what...

Out here in the country I pass by a home that has a 28-29 Ford for sale. It's pretty much chassis, fenders, cowl ( looks like roadster windshield posts ) and all forward. Seating area and bed are all made of plywood ( pretty crude ). A little plywood pick up. It runs, at least it did this last...

I'm working on my own Woody / Huckster body. Working partly from plans. The body is being mounted against a 31 cowl. The plans don't really show detailed pics of how the wood of the body fits up against the cowl. Due to the profile of the door posts and having removed the door hinges wondered if...

Quite a few months ago I removed the windshield glass from my 30 pick up frame. I put the screws that hold the top part of the frame together in a place where I wouldn't loose them. So far I haven't found that place. I haven't found replacements in my catalogs. Does anyone know who sell these or...

Hey just wondering if any of you barner's are attending the Antique Farm Show in Tulare Ca. ? It runs the 25 - 27th of this month at the Tulare Agri center. Lots of fun seeing the vintage parade, cars , tractors, anything that runs. I swear some of the vehicles in the parade look as though...

If any of you fine members with a 30 - 31 have a spare moment , could you snap a pic and post so I can see the set up of the brake light switch ? I have to get busy and get some brake lights and I want to make sure I get all that's needed to complete the set up. Thanks.

Is it just me ? I find members posting items for sale and then when I inquire about said item I never receive a response. Why even post these items ? This has happened to me more than once. Am I the only one ?

I know this isn't model A and I asked on the early V-8 page and got no response. My father and I years back restored a 46 Ford panel truck and while getting ready for an estate sale at the old family place I found a few left over parts. I wondered if someone might have an idea of what to price...

Years back my father and I restored a 46 Ford Panel truck and I found a few extras in his shop and wanted some help at pricing these parts for an estate sale. 1. hood latch 2. Panel on hood with FO left side of latch. 3. Dash panel 4. Dash panel frame. 5.Glove box...

I can't think of anything I hate worse when working on Walter, than putting on the cowl band. Why such a tight spot there by the clutch pedal...AAAAAGH. I can barely hold on to the nut to even get it started. I sure wish the threaded rod was just a tiny bit longer. It's back on , but what a chore.

Installed the new upper plate in my dizzy on Sat. and was just thinking about ordering the dummy condenser to give the correct look. I just happened to see a post where someone here on the barn said they just cut an old condenser in half. Now why didn't I think of that ? Went out to my box of...
