Just got my 55 customline back on the road today, decided to drive it, and the brake pedal goes all the way down. We just got new brakes put on it about 2 months ago. It still stops, but it's nothing like it was when we had them redone. Is it just the brakes sitting so long, they need to be...

I tried to change the oil on my 55' Ford Customline 272 Ci. Motor. I drained the oil, and took the filter shell off. My problem is trying to put the shell back on. I didn't notice a gasket between the shell and the motor, so I'm not sure if I even need it. The problem I'm having is whenever I...

On my 1955 Ford Customline 4 door the rear driver side brake hub looks a whole lot different than the front driver side. I looked it over and have no idea how to remove it. I would post a picture, but I can't get it from my phone to my computer the darn thing won't send to my email. In the...

We just got our old 1950 Shoebox ford running after about 10 years, put new plugs, and everything, but when we take it for a spin it gets hot after a while. We didn't flush the radiator, we're going to do that tomorrow. Do you have any other suggestions as to what we should do to elevate this...

My name's Jayce and I wanted to start a new thread about my weekly findings in my grandpa's old barn. Now let me say, if I were to tell you about everything we find each week, this thread would be going on for at least a year, or more. My dad and I go to the old barn each week and get what we...

Every "AR" model A I see has the closed bumpers, I've only seen about 10 pictures of Open Bumpers. My dad has a 28 AR with an open bumper and I really want to know what he's got. I read on google once that 200 were made, but I may of read it wrong. Any experts on this?

I tried to find a picture-example on google.. But had no luck. What I'm asking is, how rare is it to find a Model A pickup with the "Ford" Script above the rear window? My grandpa found one in Kansas and it was the only one he'd ever seen in his life, so he got it given it was just the Window...

Does anyone have an old Smith Form-A-Truck Model T? And if so, is the value different from the average Model T? The story goes, about 30 years ago, a buddy of my grandpa's who owed him some money called him up and said he was about to buy him something at an auction in Kansas, and if that...
