    47 Flathead Water Pump Swap Tricks?

    Need to install new water pumps. One is starting to leak. I know that there's a bolt inside the water outlet. I'm looking at how short the lower hoses are and it doesn't look like it's going to be an easy job with the radiator still in place. Can it be done without much disassembly?

    28-29 Bed Wood Dimensions

    I've searched the web looking for info that shows the dimensions for the bed wood with no luck. I have some mahogany boards that I would like to use but need to know what the profile of the cuts look like and width and length measurements. Thanks

    1947 Trunk Handle Broke

    I'm pretty sure this is a repo handle assembly. It has been tight to turn as long as I've had the car (it was unlocked). The other day the handle popped off as I was trying to open the trunk. Any idea how the handle is attached? Don't see any obvious breakage. Is it just a pressed fit. Is the...

    47 Fordor rear quarter pop-out windows

    Is there any adjustments in the pivots for these windows? One side of mine is high on the rear side. Adjusting the top or bottom pivot would help to drop it down which would allow it to function better.

    Inner vs Outer Rear Hub Drums

    My 47 Sedan needs a new rear drum. It has the outer hubs but I have a good set of drums with the inner hub. Are these by chance interchangeable?

    6-Volt Jump Start

    I posted this on the 12-volt conversion thread but thought this might be better. As someone that just picked up a restored '47 Sedan that is still 6-volt, my concern was jump starting if away from home (can't always park on an incline). What's the proper procedure with the positive ground...

    Operating a Columbia Rearend

    The '47 Sedan I just bought has a Columbia in it with all the right controls. The guy I got it from didn't use the car much and wasn't super clear on how it operates. I've had a '56 F100 with the overdrive trans that worked with the pull out controls under the dash and downshifted by mashing the...

    New Family Ride

    This followed me home last week. Frame off restoration done about 10 years ago and has only had 2,000 miles put on it since. I've had several early Fords but this is the first one with a Flathead. Also has a Columbia rearend. Haven't had a chance to drive much, beyond the drive home, as...

    34 3-Window Seat Adjuster Rods?

    Does anyone have a photo of the connection rods between the seat handle and the seat tracks? Are they just spring steel? Is the handle just a plain lever? I thought mine was a homemade set-up but I've since seen a few others that looked the same. My tracks are better than they appear, just need...

    Best Practical Upgrades to Stock 47 Sedan?

    I just picked up a '47 Fordor that was a body-off restoration. Wasn't looking for one but the deal was too good to pass up. Since it will be driven in SoCal traffic and not country roads, what would be the best upgrades? Not looking to change drivetrain, it has a Columbia rearend so the...

    Are These Model A Parts?

    Been sorting through some boxes that were collected decades ago by my dad for my 29 RPU. Most I have figured out but there a couple that I'm not sure about. There have been a few 56 F100 parts mixed in. #1 and #2 look similar but they are not. #3 was sealed in bag and appeared a new part.

    28-29 RPU Door Sill

    I know the roadster pickup door sills have a cut-out to fit around the seat frame that the roadster does not. Is there a reason the full roadster one can't be cut to fit the pickup?

    1934 Grille Aprons?

    I'm inventorying/gathering the parts for my 3-window. The front sheetmetal has been disassembled for 50+ years (Previous owner). I'm trying to figure out the apron that goes in front of the lower radiator tank and behind the lower grille apron. Is it the grey one? It doesn't match the paint from...
