I need to remove the window cranks in order to remove the interior door panels. On the first door I attempted to work on, the pin holding the window crank to the shaft will not budge after much pounding with a hammer and punch. I'm worried that I'll damage the crank shaft. I'll try some...

I'm guessing that others here have dealt with the old, musty smell that accompanies many old vehicles that haven't been restored from the frame up. Are there any products folks have had success using, or other homemade remedies? I think that some of the smell is coming from inside doors/window...

I'll attach below 2 photos of a Ford truck owned by the National Park Service and located in Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. I saw it in August while visiting Fruita, UT, a beautiful old settlement in what is now Capitol Reef National Park. If any of you are ever in S. Utah, I highly...

The place above the water inlet on the driver's side of the engine has the flattened-off area where the serial # should be, but no # is even remotely visible. I'm guessing that decades of paint layers and other junk have covered it up completely. Is there any danger in going at it aggressively...

This is my first post (well, really the second, but the first doesn't count because I unintentionally posted this message to the Swap Forum) and I want to thank the participants here for the incredibly helpful advice I've found while reading old posts and replies. My starter motor runs but...
