With all thats going on in the world, I find myself looking for projects to pass the time. I would like to replace the door seal material on my 37' truck cab. Maybe I don't have the correct term to describe it (seal, windlace, ect), but I am having trouble locating anything close. I am looking...

I have a Stewart Warner tachometer, model#D760G. It is a 6 volt unit with a three wire harness, green-black-white. I have done some reading in the archives to better understand the wiring.I know the green is the impulse wire and goes to the dist. and black goes to batt., white should be the...

This is to update you all on my project with my cooling system. Many of you offered advise on this and I wanted to show you that I was able to get it set right. After some effort I was able to replace the pumps. I flushed the block a few times and installed new thermostats. I chose to have my...

My 36' truck is a mixture of parts, having been put together in 51' with collected components. It sat for fifty years before I got to it and put it back on the road. Been running great until the old radiator sprung another leak. Took radiator out and only then got a good look at the water...

I have a 37' cab on my 36' truck. Trying to get ready should it ever rain again here in California. I found a Trico KSB 384-1 unit in the header of my cab. Due to the origins of my truck I think this might not be the correct one for the cab. The control arm does not come close to lining up with...

Hi boys, I usually post on the Early V8 side but read this constantly to learn more on Fords. Stumbled onto this and thought I would save it from the scrap heap. Guessing at its apparent age I thought the Model A crowd might have seen this. As you can see, it stands 7" tall and has a 1/2" drive...

I have had my truck on the road for nearly 2 1/2 yrs and it has brought much happiness to my family and others. Every now and then I am reminded of how CADMV denied my use of the old plates that were on the truck. I had all the paperwork and several reg. tags linking these plates to the truck...

I am looking for a pair of 1936 California commercial license plates. Condition not such an issue. Fair to good should do, as long as the are clear and usable. PM if you have any offers. Thanks - Q

Been looking off and on for the black cardboard door and kick panels with no luck. Some catalogs list them as out of stock. Most have the plastic and fiber glass. Does anyone know if these are still available? Any help would be appreciated.

Started looking closely at the interior of my doors, preparing to make a template for new panels. I noticed that there is an indention running across the bottom, approx. 1/2" wide with holes for snap fasteners. They were the button type with spring wires, there are a couple left in the door. My...

Due to the questionable background of my truck I need to I.D. components as I begin to work on them. Is it possible to date a transmission by serial #? This one has the #68-7222 with a large number 1 beneath. The clamshell to the torque tube has B4514-B on it with a Lg. 1-B beneath. My truck was...

I have a 36' pickup with an 8BA. This truck was built in the early fifties from a pile of different parts. Besides the 8BA it has early juice brakes and steering box and column from a 40'-41'. Mostly a 36'. Trying to find a chart for lubrication points, my Motors manual does not seem to have...

I am posting this for anyone interested in putting tube shocks on their early Ford. I picked up a "Weed Eater" tube shock kit from C&G Ford to put in my 36' truck. As my truck had no shocks when I got it, I chose to go this route for my budget and simplicity. The quality of the materials in the...

The cowl vent in my truck is stuck pretty bad with rust. I have been underneath the dash using penetrants trying to free up the mech. Can someone tell me, does the vent rise up and then tilt back or pivot on the two rear corners tilting back to open. Laying on your back looking up, its hard to...

I have been chasing electrical gremlins for the last couple of weeks. Let me say, the information here on the Barn has been a great help. I have a 36' truck with an 8BA with two brush gen. What I am having trouble with currently is the starter. When cold, the motor turns over fine. After a few...

I have a 36' pickup with an 8BA that I resurrected a year and half ago. Electrical problems are cropping up, although not serious ones. After driving for a year, finding out the generator is not producing enough current to keep the battery charged with headlights in use. I plan to rebuild gen...

Ca. DMV has declined to re-issue my plates for the last time. I did every thing they asked, provided correct paperwork, original documentation, photo-copies of the plates and it's still a no-go. My truck had plates issued in 60' and these are not YOM. Never mind that I have CA.DMV documentation...

I have been driving my truck quite a bit in the last few months. I felt that the addition of front shocks would improve drivability and handling. This truck had no shocks whatsoever, rode on the leaf springs. Budget concerns steered me in the direction of a tube shock kit over the originals...
