Hello guys, Need some help here. Need dimensions of the cab mounting wood blocks for a 1942-47 1/2 ton. I did have the info but lost it with a bloody computer melt down! Had printed a couple of copies, can't find um for the life of me. Need to confirm that what's on my truck ain't squished...

I have here a flat o matic kit, came out of a car that's having a brand X monkey motion thing slapped in it. Now I didn't remove it, the bloke putting the wrong engine in did, I have the torque converter, bell housing and flex plate (not sure if you guys call it a flex plate, if not it's the...

Guys I have a question for you. Got me some front spring shackles and bushings for the front spring and perch. Seems a little odd to me, the new bushings are quite w loose fit on the shackle pins, is this normal? I expected them to be a ream to fit type of bush, like a king pin (spindle pin)...

Guys, I got me here a Harmon & Collins 3/4 camshaft. Has the numbers 6217 on it. Anybody got the spec of this cam? Timing, lash, duration, lca and lift rate? Many thanks in advance, Martin.

Right guys, I have here a couple of Grant Spalding dual coil flamethrower ignitions. I have run one on a Flathead and it works real good. These both lack the optional vacuum advance can. I'd like to play with one with the vacuum side working. But need to know what can was used on these, as far...

When shoving an 8BA in a pre '48. I seen lots of pics of stock 8BA mounted in an earlier car using the earlier car trans. When this is done, how do you compensate for the angle of the carb mounting on the inlet manifold? I know lots run the earlier inlets so no problem, but what about the ones...

Sort of Ford related, Ford factories built Rolls Royce Merlin engines during the Second World War. For the first time in 50 years two Lancasters in the air flying next two each other. One lives andflies in the UK, the other flew over from Canada. There doing air shows together this summer. Then...

Has anybody fitted one or the sliding rear glass kits that's available for the circa 1940 pickups? A couple of suppliers list them. I like the idea. Just wondered if there's cutting involved? Looks like there is, to the inside left and right upright window strengtheners. Also what's the quality...

Guys, someone do me a favour please? Just building a floor shift conversation for the Merc overdrive trans in my 42 pickup. I decided I want it this way rather than column shift that I had in there. Now my shifter setup has the shifter placed top and middle, in the same place as the original...

On the column change linkages, the little rubber bush with the brass insert. When fitting new rubbers and bushes, how do you flare (for want of better road) swedge maybe, the new brass insert into the rubber? I've heard they crack or split real easy. I've seen brass rivets set with a spinning...

I have a 1942 Ford 1/2 ton pickumup. This is very nearly ready for the road (been saying that for 2 years, life keeps interupting Ford time) The fuel line rout. I havent got the tank under the seat anymore, it was rotted out, I now have a tank (1958 Fairlane) under the bed in back. Fits good...

I have seen in a number of posts mention of concourse correct. If I could trouble you all for some of this knowledge please. I have an engine here for rebuild that's going in a 1942 Ford station wagon. This he wants as per factory. What I'd like to know is the colors of the various parts. Block...

On the 1942 pickup hood, it had a Ford script badge on the trailing edge (one each side) rather than the pressed script of the post war pickup hood. Now mine has the holes but I don't have the script, is the script same size And hole clocking ad the 1939-1940 passenger car hood script? I...

Whilst researching loads of pics of 42-47 pickups. I came across a couple of pics that showed these fitted with vent windows (quarter lights) in the doors. Can't for the life of me find them now. But I did see them. I can't find any words about these and though one was a modern pic of one in...

I've been wading through a box of small carb parts. All 94 type no Stromberg parts. There's a bunch of inlet needles and seats in there. I've noticed there pretty much all different sizes 're the actual hole for the fuel in, some have additional pair of holes in the side of the seat fitting...

Whilst looking through a thread about a bad engine deal. It was mentioned that pan rail cracks in a flathead are fatal. I've not had the misfortune to have to deal with these cracks yet. But there is a possible block in back that has a pan rail crack. I've sort of loosely thought in the past...

In answering another thread reminded me of the engine tucked away in the back of the shed. He's the type that had approx .040" thick hard sleeves fitted from the factory. The ones that you can reasonably easily pull out an replace in service. This engine had steel 3 ring pistons in him. I seem...
