A little backstory and any input is greatly appreciated as I'm learning all the time here. The truck (39 tonner) was towed to my mechanics this morning but would definitely like to hear any input from all the flathead knowledge here. I've put about 4500 miles on the truck since the rebuilt...

Ok for the life of me I can't figure out what is going on. The windshield as always stopped about about a 1/2" from closing all the way. I had a new gasket from Metro Moulded installed by a local glass place last summer. I took it windshield to them. Turns out they installed it wrong. So i...

Good morning all. I had an alignment done on my 39 tonner last week. Nice to have the spokes facing the correct orientation on my steering wheel now. With diesel having been up close to $6 a gallon I've put a couple of thousand miles on the 39 in the last 2 to 3 months including a few out of...

Always appreciative of knowledge here. My driver's door no longer will lock from the inside. Had been doing fine, I obviously don't want to force it. I can pull the panel and most likely figure it out, but wanted to see if anyone had any similar experiences. Second, I finally got the courage...

Arvin heater in very good working condition. Heater core does not leak and clean. Fan works perfectly. The other mounting bolt is in the bag ziptied to the back in the picture. Also includes a rheostat vintage switch. I decided to restore my heater instead. Located in Salisbury NC, $175 plus...

Anyone have a pair of rusty bumper bolts laying around, be glad to buy you a beer if you're close to Salisbury, NC or will pay plus shipping. Not looking for new as there's no chrome left on the bumper I'm using. 2nd question. Does anyone know how to remove the ford style Christmas bulb...

Exam time at the high school today. Had a few kids that working on finishing up projects in the shop so I decided to drive the 39 today and work on a little project to button up how the floor liner meets the door. I ran some sill plates on the CNC out of ash and then poured the carved area...

Bought it for my truck but ended up converting over to 12v. Bought new in March of 24 and removed in June of 24. Not sure if I can legally ship so pick up in Salisbury, NC

So it was actually my wife's idea but she wanted to take the 39 to a family get together in Raleigh which is any 2.5hrs visa the country route. Definitely the furthest trip I've taken at about 110 miles each way Lots of rubbernecking and thumbsup along the way... lol. A little chilly, as my...

So back last summer I hit a pothole pulling into a gravel drive and one of my bezel popped off, unfortunately I didn't notice it until I got to my destination. I found it but had clipped it with one of the tires. I can most likely bend it back but just in case I ordered a set of Bob Drake...

Long story short, truck is running great now and transmission is shifting fine. Drove it pretty much every day last week including picking up about 1200lbs of wood slabs for the side business (fun trip out through the country). We have a new master cylinder as the brakes were loosing pressure...

A little background. Picked up the 39 1 ton in July of 24 after a fair amount of work to get it back running, it was serviceable but pretty low compression overall and 2 cylinders real low. It had been sitting for about 10 years. One of the other issues were the transmission had a significant...

Is there a particular way the disk headlight switch is supposed to be oriented in the metal bulb at the base of the steering gear? I replaced it when we rewired as the other was so loose it would come on/ off while turning the steering wheel. Now it wants to bind and it's all I can do to turn...

So I've had the tonner for a year and oddly I never noticed this. I usually don't lock it when I go places but happened to see a thread talking about the ignition key fitting the lock. So I pulled the key and checked the passenger side, works like a champ. Walked around to the driver's side...

Not sure if I missed it, but is there a place to report scam members? Cutoff is trying to scam through the swap meet. Joined in June in posted 10x saying testing just to send this to me and probably others. Default 1939 1 ton rear bumper and brackets Hello, have you tried to ask a forum...

Looking for the correct wheel cylinders for a 39 1 ton truck. Got a little confused looking at the green bible/searching online. I think I have found the front at CW Moss. https://cwmoss.com/collections/brakes/products/wheel-cylinder-assembly-front-right-1939-48...

1) I've seen where a number of people have used a "hatchback" windshield wiper in place of the vacuum wiper. Does anyone know which model hatchback will work? 2) what are the panels called (and possibly a link to replacements) that are in front of your feet that insulate and cover the firewall...

Looking for a rear bumper and mounts. Not worried about condition as a long as they're functional.

Exterior in great shape. Lots of scale rust on the interior. I imagine it will need to be cut open, cleaned, and lined. It was a spare when I bought my truck. Pickup in Salisbury, NC

Question for you guys. We tried the MMO in the cylinders but appears the rings are shot with compression still real low in two cylinders (25/30) and moderately low in the remaining 6 (65 to 75). I was going to have it rebuilt but came across a recently very nicely built 59a at a decent price...
