    More 39 pu questions please?

    Got two kinds of hub caps. Pretty sure the round ones are for the 39 pu. The others, flatter with a ridge around outer most edge Also,found a 46 Merc hub cap if someone needs one.

    More 39 pu wiring

    Trying to wire my 39 pu. Lots of boxes under dash. Have parts from 6 38-39’s and one nearly new harness, but colors are bad and diagrams unclear. What are these items please. Seems like horn relay, some pieces have a resistor, only one has resister and fuse. Some of the boxes have points in them...

    53 distributor internal wires

    Sure I’ll remember……NOT. I seem to have two ground wires ( bare copper) and a wire from condenser to little nuts on points. Where does 6v to points come from? In other words, someone have a photo or maybe better, an explanation of what goes where. Only have one 53 dizzy, so nothing to look at...

    Winter project ready for color....sorry, not a Ford

    Since I gave up on the 39 PU without a title, had to find somethin' to do. Had a garage "kit" laying around. Finally put it together.....been cold work, but ready for siding! Learned NOT to build my own garage,that there is too much county interference, and the $30,000 local builders wanted to...

    Colorado title-usual issues

    I have been working on a 39 PU. Thought I had a frame with a good ohio title but found #'s don't match. I have an old Colorado title for the frame # that was signed in the wrong places. DMV says I need to post a bond (ok by me). They require a certified inspection first, then a title search...

    39 PU/46 Merc rearend

    Just read thru 14 pages of posts, and didn't find quite what I needed. I would like to replace the 4.11 rearend in my 39 Ford PU. The only "higher" rearend I've found on which the input splines are good, is from a 46 Merc. Is it possible to use the banjo from the Merc, and the bells and the...

    39 PU. routing stuff

    Sorry, I realize I have ask some of this before, but I'm still confused (easy to confuse me I'm afraid). I've attached a photo of what I started with. I've looked at the photos I can find on the forum - may have missed the right ones.... First, ebrake cable. Some photos show it clamped to the...

    Ideas on fixing this speedometer bezel?

    Stainless solder? Silver solder? Used have a welder at the plant that could weld razor blades - not me. Thanks

    All our "junk".

    Many times on the forum, I've seen "never throw anything (or nuthin') away. Not to be morbid, but what do you think will happen to all our "valuable" Ford parts when we're not here any more (I ain't in a hurry). "I didn't have the heart" post made me think about this. For instance, my son...

    A little more on 39 PU windshield

    Mainly just venting! Someone on FB said you'll learn new swear words doing a windshield. Amen Found some great info on FB so I thought I'd try it. Tore the tape and finally, broke one glass. More tape on the way. I thought, well, I'll play with the outer seal and see how that goes in - just a...

    39 pickup speedo - rubber encased or not?

    I see some encased, some not. Have not seen grommet for the non-encased - maybe grommet built into rubber encased ones? A while back, Kube put up a nice photo of encased one in 40 ford. Thanks, Gordon

    Another question on temp sending bulb...

    Didn't want to hijack Mike B's thread, so I'm wondering if these things normally stick or break in the head? I have an intact one I want to remove from an old engine and use in my 8BA. Also, it came up in Mike's thread that the 8BA has a fully tapped hole - will the bulb from an older...

    39 Pickup firewall wiring arrangement

    Anyone have a photo of what the arrangement of wires and "stuff" in front of left front corner looks like? I know the gas line will go there, as well as the wires. One wire seems to "loop" thru the headlight harness and the back to the body wire - seems odd. Seems to be an extra clamp too...

    39 seal on steering shaft top of box

    I've never seen for sale a seal where the steering/worm shaft goes in the boxes. I recently took apart a 37 steering assy and it had paper washers on the shaft (photo below). Are these needed?
