I'm determined to add a rear bumper to the back of my '34 Pickup. As far as I can tell, the rear bumper is the same as the front bumper, it's straight across and doesn't have a dip like the passenger cars. I'm pretty sure there is a round spreader bar that bolts to the rear frame horns. The...

I'm looking for a rear bumper (or front bumper) for a '34 pickup. I can also use the rear bumper mounting brackets. No hangar queens though, my pickup is a driver. Thanks, John

A long time ago in a place far far away, someone painted a coat of grey primer over the original black paint of my '34 Ford pickup. I'm trying to remove the primer. It's unknown what type of primer it is. I'm trying to determine how much original paint there is so I can make a decision on...

I would like to install a temperature sensor, hard wire, and gauge in my '34 Ford pickup, 21 bolt head engine. It looks like a previous owner put in the 35 - 36 LH water pumps since they have a screw in plug in them. Does anyone know of a source for a bulb sensor, hard wire, and gauge that...

Guys, Is there a way to take apart the window regulator on my 34 pickup? I'd like to clean out any old grease that might be remaining and put new grease in. It looks as though the regulator is sealed? Thanks! John

Wanted to buy: 4 rear mechanical brake springs for a '34 Ford. Prefer NOS. PN: B-2036. These springs are approx. 3 1/2 in long. I already have the two that are approx. 6 in long. I've tried 3rd Gen, Joe's Antiques, Chuck's Trucks, Southside Obsolete. Anyone have any out there? Thanks! John

It's been a while since my last post. I recently made some time to clean up the rear mechanical brakes on my '34 pickup. When it comes time to install the new adjusters, is there a trick to installing the adjuster grease cap? I pushed one grease cap out by turning the adjuster shaft all the...

One of my winter projects is to do a rear brake job on my '34 Pickup with mechanical brakes. I need a couple of pointers. The right rear adjuster wedge screw was frozen with rust which temporarily prevented my from loosening the brake shoes and removing the drum. I was able to heat the screw...

Both rear brake adjuster screws seem to be rusted in place. Can heat from a propane torch be used to coax them out? I am not sure if there is anything inside the drums that would be damaged by heat? (I don't want to replace any seals etc. if I can help it). Any other advice on backing out...

I have a Dennis Carpenter gas tank in a cardboard box that was purchased about two years ago. It won't be installed in the 34 pickup for probably another year. Any suggestions on putting something in the tank while it is in storage to prevent rust? It's going to be stored in it's cardboard...

Good Morning, Does anyone have recommendations on service/repair/restoration manuals that would be most applicable to a '34 Ford Pickup, 6v? I'm not looking to convert/modify anything at this stage, I'm just wanting to have guides that I can study and be able to fix/restore things on the truck...

Hi all, As mentioned a in my intro a few days ago, I recently picked up a '34 Ford truck that's mostly original. My number one goal is to get it running so I can move it to a better storage area. The top issue is that it has intermittent spark to the sparkplugs. It is a 6v positive ground...

Greetings Everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself and say how much I appreciate this forum. I live in lower Delaware and I recently had a '34 Pickup follow me home. Except for the under-hood wiring, oil filter, and a couple of misc. items, it is pretty much all original. The engine, when...
