My frame is missing the mounting holes for the foot actuated starter switch. I can see in the metal toe board where it needs to mount, but if I’m off by a little bit the switch probably won’t line up with the floorboard hole. Can someone give me dimensions of where I should drill the holes...

Before I end up ordering reproductions, looking for a pair of original decent radiator support rods, 1936 1/2 ton pickup. I can clean and paint them. Thanks!

My grill has some missing and bent bars. I noticed Mac's has grille bars listed for '32 and says it requires 48 of them. Are these a good starting point for fixing my 36 pickup grille? If not, any other suggestions are appreciated.

Placed an order with MAC's on Wednesday, didn't pay for the rush shipping, and got my order today Monday. Only ordered 5 items, and was pleased to see 4 out of the 5 are Made in USA. The one made overseas was the radiator cap repair kit.

I'm doing a brain check-up. Saw this car on Ebay. Dusty old barn find that needs absolutely everything as described in his auction. Starting bid is $35,000 I'm thinking that's about what the car is worth AFTER its fully restored. Am I way off base...

Posted on Ebay, project truck, wants $20k for it. For $20k I think he should post better pictures...

http://www.youtube.com/embed/W8GRQHsAVjI?rel=0 I've reached that wonderful moment in restoration when you finally hear your engine come to life! I just wanted to test and make sure its gonna work before I go thru all the bother to put on the fenders, cab, etc. I put a few ounces of gas...

My first time trying to workup and post a video, its about 5 minutes total and starts off with stills and has two short vids at the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NijqpLhSuNY&feature=youtu.be

I'm not ready to wire up my whole truck at this point but I DO want to test-fire my engine. I took the resistor off the inner firewall and it looks pretty crusty. I checked across the terminals and I get zero continuity and no reading for resistance. Am I correct in assuming this resistor is...

I've got two 94 carbs, one is Holley script and the other Ford script. I like the base on the left because it doesn't have the vac port, but I'm having trouble with the weight and ball Any tricks to getting the little brass weight out of the center, or the check ball out of the bottom of...

Before I mount my starter I was wondering if there is a recommended product that will enhance the conductivity between the starter and the bellhousing. I have the starter face squeeky clean as well as the mounting ring of the bellhousing. Dielectric grease would help keep out moisture and dirt...

Any barners near Gainsville, Georgia that might be willing to pickup a bench seat for me and assist in getting it to Chicago? Mileage and handling fee is okay. Its on Ebay and the seller refuses to budge on his 'local pickup only' rule. I asked if he could take it to Greyhound and he said...

Forward progress, did my generator, starter, fuel pump, and fan this weekend. Before/After pics of starter and generator:

1940, 85hp, 24 stud v8 Switching from iron intake to aluminum, I have the correct short pushrod taken from my other engine. The other engine does not have the fat tube inside the block. The engine with the iron intake had it. Does this get used with an aluminum intake? The Green Bible...

1940 24 stud v8 going into a 36 pickup Should the generator rear plate be left natural or painted black? Cutout..same questions Pulley: which one of these should I use?

Step 1) did a 'search' and read 2 pages of threads about fuel pump pushrods. Step 2) still didn't find the answer I was looking for Step 3) It seemed like there was a oil soaked felt washer under the umbrella part of my pushrod on the '40 v8 I'm working on. It doesn't show in the Green Bible...

I put the engine and trans on my chassis today but I'm not pleased with the way the motor mount assembly goes together. I've got the washer registered into the hole in the frame, then the rubber biscuit on top of the washer with the pointed end up. Problem is the umbrella end that sits down...

Pluggin away on my project 36 pickup. Today I got the driveshaft/torque tube squared away and was able to bolt together the freshened up engine and the rebuilt transmission. Major accomplishment was getting the assembly set in place on the frame, Before and after pictures:

Working on a 1938 car chassis. The torque tube didn't appear to have a center bearing#4658 and the roller bearing at the front just rides in the torque tube, not inside the insert #4655. Is this abnormal? The bearing fits nice and snug with no slop. And to install the #4245 seal, is it...
