Its been a while since I last posted. The forum's have been so helpful in figuring out things. I have the PU bed finished after many hours of TIG welding and fabricating. Trying to figure out the right way to mount it. My question today is on the brackets that mount to the cab end of the bed...

I have a 28 PU I am putting back together. Sub frame was gone. I got a metal seat pan. Will get new springs also, but wondering about any wooden frame that goes under the springs? Or seat back. Information needed on seat construction. Was there a wooden frame that the springs sit on...

I have a model A rear end I swapped out. I drove on top of this rear end for years and it was still just fine. Reason I swapped it out was that it was missing most of the secondary brake parts and I had another rear end that had everything. Gears were replaced years ago on this rear end...

I have a good set of 29 TUDOR buckets. These have covers on them and the frames and springs seem to be in great shape. Also have the mounting posts. Email is joatmon2@bellsouth.net for photos.

I have two 1929 Tudor bucket seats with foor mounts. Good for restoring with seat covers. Wanting $150 for both seats. I also have a Model A rear end with original traverse spring for $200. I drove this rear end for years and it had no gearing issues, missing most of the E-brake parts but...

I can work wonders with sheet metal, but I have a right front fender that is missing so much metal on the down stream side where it bolts to the running boards its not funny. My finder has a wheel well, but I am looking for a replacement fender that can be fixed or a bad fender with the down...

Well, the front end I have been working on has been a real mess. Bent axle, bad king pins and bushings, damaged axle wishbone pad, missing grease fittings and worn out brake hardware. Now, the steering linkage. All the 1' balls are worn out badly. I see that they sell the balls on studs and...

In rebuilding a model A front end, I asked myself why the thrust bearing is on the top instead of the bottom? It sits under the top of the king pin where the brake actuator shaft fits. On most spindles, the thrust bearing is on the bottom where the axle will sit with its weight. What is the...

Simple post with a simple question. Are Model A axles supposed to be straight center line to center line of the king pins? Not talking about the vertical curve that they have, but looking straight down on them from the top. Mine has a 1" bow in it and its perfectly centered. If you pull a...

Re-working the front of an old 28 PU. Many issues. Trying to get the spring perches out. tapered nuts on the bottoms came loose, but they seem welded in place. Soaking with penetrating oils and tapping the perches but they really seem stuck. The tapers seem to have sealed it off real good...

I posted about a problem with the rear of the engine being low enough to hit the brake cross shaft on a 28 PU frame. I pulled the mounts off tonight. Had rubber on outside under outer plate and on the inside between mount and frame. Holes in the frame are much bigger than those in the engine...

I have a 28 PU I am working on. This was a basket case I bought back in the 60's. The rear of the transmission is low enough to hit the brake cross shaft when the cross shaft is actuated. The front cross member has been replaced at some point with a very early 28 with the rigid mount style...

The forum members have given me answers to most all my questions. I am certainly more on the receiving end than the giving end. I appreciate the help. I am going to have window glass cut for my 1928 close cab pickup. I have a template made. The door glass is not a true rectangle as the door...

I am putting a 28 PU cab back together. I have experience with A's having owned several and taken most everything apart and back together again. No show cars, but I know many of them well. On this PU cab, its new to me. More like a T than an A in some ways. Door locks. The passenger door...
