A couple of summers ago, I had trouble starting my 36 Truck after the engine was hot. All was good after I installed a phenolic spacer between the carb and manifold. Now I am having the problem again, and I think it is the coil. I have a 6 volt with a conversion to a tube coil with an internal...

After my last trip with my 36 1.5 ton, I couldn't restart upon my return and couldn't find spark. I swapped coils and replaced the condenser with a IH 200 after consulting this board and all was well. Today, upon arrival at my destination in 90 degree heat (very hot for W. WA), I had to crank...

After the coil mounted on the top of the distributor of my '36 1.5 ton exploded when I left the switch on, I got an adapter and went to a "tube" type more modern coil. I couldn't find a good spot to mount it vertically, so I strapped it to the tube through which the plug wires are routed, as...

I installed a fiberboard door panel on my 36 truck and have reproduction handles and escutcheons. The escutcheons have teeth to stick into the panel. are these designed to have a spring behind the panel? If so, can I use the universal escutcheon with a built in spring (sold by Macs & others)...

I have gotten my 36 1.5 ton truck road legal and finally driving it a bit and noticed some squeaking that sounded like it was coming from the throw out bearing. The floorboard was keeping the clutch pedal a bit too depressed, and I understand how to adjust the rod from the pedal, but when I...

Anybody know if the 37 is the same? I know the 37 has a split windshield, but not sure if that changed this part.

How is the wiper motor attached to the cab? Is it just held on by the nut on the outside of the cab, or is there some kind of bracket? I have found two used motors and have talked to Kent Jaquith about rebuilding one. They are very similar, although one has a "spacer" on the shaft that...

I was having problems in my 36 1.5 ton with the starting binding up, so I bought a new starter with the newer style Bendix. It bound up even more often, so I went back to the old starter but continue have problems. With some research I find that there is an "L" bracket from the starter to the...

I purchased a NOS temp gauge with sending unit and line (#68-10883) for my 36 1.5 ton. When I pulled the old sending unit from the water pump, it didn't have the 1 1/2 inch "probe" the new one has, but did have what could be the base of a probe. The probe for the new gauge won't fit through the...

I checked some old posts and got help to get the clips in to hold the original reflector to the original bucket and the other clips to hold the original lens to the reproduction ring and I put a new rubber gasket in the groove on the reflector. I am unable to get the ring/lens unit on the...

I purchased a reproduction tail light

In the course of replacing the steering wheel, I pulled the horn rod out the back window, without putting any bend on it that I could detect. When I got the rod out, it definitely had a bow to it, most of which I was able to remove. After installing the new (rebuilt) steering wheel, and putting...

I have been reading on Ford Barn for a while, but am a newbie as a poster. I would like to thank recent and past posters for information I have learned here. Without it, I wouldn't have known to unbolt the steering gear from the frame or the column from the dash to take the horn rod out the back...
