Wick, I just tried to send you a PM about the '24 touring you have for sale in the classifieds. Unfortunately, the board software informs me you've opted not to receive PM's. If you could, please drop me a line, and you may want to turn your PM's on so other interested folks can message you...

I ran across this car at the cruise-in before the Hemmings Motor News Concours D'Elegance. It caught my eye because of the non-standard side trim for a '52, which I found very attractive. Unfortunately the owner was unable to tell me whether it was a factory accessory or something...

I’m trying to figure out what u-bolts to use on a ‘56 Ford station wagon rear axle. Nobody seems to list one, but I’m trying to make an educated guess based on the following information from MAC's Antique Auto Parts: MA-5705-F is the part number that fits the 1949-56 passenger cars except the...

I'm corresponding with a seller about the '52 Ford passenger-car axle he has for sale. He says it's from an original automatic car - what was available with the auto? My books are all packed away, but I seem to recall 3.73 was standard with something higher as an option? Thanks for any help.

Back in 2006 I had a pretty neat calendar that showed an illustration of different 1950-model-year car on each month (1950 and 2006 share the same days of the week). One month featured a ‘50 Ford woodie and the text describing it indicated Ford had offered both two-door and four-door station...

I have a friend who recently purchased a '45 (yep, '45) Ford farm truck as a project. He is in the dis-assembly phase at the moment but isn't exactly sure how to get everything apart. Is there an exploded diagram somewhere for these trucks I can point him to? Thanks very much!

1961 Ford Falcon Futura 2d Sedan, No. 4 condition: $3200 The Futura was the top-of-the-line Falcon for '61 with bucket seats, carpet, and a console. A deteriorated restoration, this has been my daily driver since 2009, and definitely has flaws visible to the naked eye. The engine is a...

Does anyone know what years and applications will interchange with the slip yoke for a T86/R10 overdrive from a '57 Ford? Mine came without one and I'm nearing the point where I'll need it to have a drive shaft made. There is a fella selling a regular three-speed yoke in the HAMB classifieds...

I just read this in another thread: I don’t want to hijack Hivolt5.0's thread, so I’ll ask seperately: Is there a difference between the T86/R10 run behind the 292 V8 and the T86/R10 run behind the 223 I6? Or was the only break between the 292 V8 and the 312 V8? The latter of which received...

I realize this is the Late V8 forum, but I wondered if there were any other Falcon enthusiasts hereabouts too. -Dave

Can somebody give me the lowdown on when these carburetors came out and on what? It appears the 2100 was the standard Ford 2bbl for the 1960s, but I thought I'd read that the 2300 predated it? Thanks, Dave

Hello all, A couple questions about a ‘57 Ford T86/R10 I’m working with: 1) Do these use a unique transmission crossmember, or will any ‘57 Ford transmission crossmember work with one? What about other years? 2) Will the wiring harness for a V8 car work with a six-cylinder transmission...

What color was the case of the T-86/R-10 3-speed overdrive painted in 1957? I have an overdrive I'm going to be cleaning up and installing in the future, and I'd like to make it original looking. Thanks, Dave

Can someone post a picture of what the overdrive lockout looks like on a '49 to '51 Ford? On '52-up cars it appears to be a chrome T-handle under the dash, but some catalog pictures have me thinking that in the early years it was a dash knob? Thanks, Dave

For 1957 are the bellhousings interchangeable between the six-cylinder and V8 engines? Thanks, Dave

I'm keeping my eyes open for a T rear axle to use in my speedster project. I've yet to pay over $100 for anything, and I'm trying to keep it that way for as long as possible, but I suspect an axle will break that. This old trailer came up on Craigslist. It's the rear of a T frame with most...

I acquired this radiator along with a bunch of Model A parts. Most of the parts seem to be from a '29, but I'm not sure about the radiator as it looks like it might be too tall. Any opinions? Think it's worth repairing? Thanks, Dave

I've been searching with Google and the board search engine, and I'm not finding an answer. Could somebody please tell me what's the spring-perch boss thickness on a T axle? Thanks, Dave

Back story: I've been looking for an overdrive transmission to retrofit into my '61 Falcon. I have the proper bellhousing to put a '49 to '64 type Ford transmission behind a 200ci straight-six engine. A Craigslist search near me has yielded a '57 Ranchero 3-speed with overdrive. I haven't...

I know they didn’t come from the Rouge with Auburn gauge panels installed... ;) -Dave
