I have a friend that is putting a Borg Warner overdrive in his 31 coupe. The speedometer cable extension that is with the overdrive is damaged. Does anyone know where we can find a new Speedo extension?

I am looking for information about the Ford Iron Mountain plant. Ford Built the plant in the early 20s and it was to make wood components for the Model T. They also built parts for Model As, and other wood parts until shut down in 1952. It is well known that Briggs and Murray built bodies for...

I am trying to get my wiper working, some of the previous owners work is a little sketchy. My wiring diagram only shows power to the wiper,, no switch of any kind. The PO had installed A switch behind the dash rail,wire routed up through the post and then the wire was spliced into two wires...

I have a stamping on two of my mufflers, H4L301, and H0L301. Being a later 29 and late 30 they should take the same muffler. Anyone know what these numbers mean?

I promise, this is not a question of what kinda be of oil to use!🤬🤬 But Ford recommended that the oil be changed and the chassis be lubed every 500 miles. With today's higher quality oils I am curious if some have increased that, and by how much.

Today I was coming home in my CCPU, still fairly new to me about 300 miles since I finished it. It has a stock motor with the exception of a 5.5 Head. I have a 26% Mitchell which I love and use constantly as a gear splitter, this too is my first OD. I am wondering if a 36% might suit me better...

Anyone painted a 30-31 CCPU lately, that can give me an idea of how much paint needed for the Cab and Bed, two coats, single stage paint? Totally dismantled.

I am restoring a 30 CCPU as a almost daily driver. Complete restoration, but not fine point. I would like to put some insulation on the back of the cab, such as Fatmat or Dynamat. But it would of course need to be covered. Easy to do in kick panels, doors etc, but have no idea how to cover it in...

Restoring a 30 CCPU, and I plan on replacing all the mounting blocks. Some of the ones I removed have places where they are cut down, possibly where the frame hits. But there are a lot of things not right. Can anyone tell me if there are supposed to be "cutouts" In the blocks? There is one that...

I am restoring my 30 CCPU, and am currently working on the bed. In evaluating the wood, it isn't salvageble., So I will make new. My questions are: are the wood bed slats supposed to be the same width? Mine are two different widths, but I have seen them incorrectly made on later pickups that...

I have a Mitchell OD on order and I am trying to decide between the shift lever and cable control. I like the thought of the cable, for split shifting and because it isn't quite so noticable, but am concerned about how easy the cable operates. Any of you guys out there have the cable, and can...

I am getting ready to restore the tank in my 30 ccpu. Can it be sandblasted? Or should I soda blast it? I am assuming soda will take quite a but longer, so stress on my compressor is a concern.

Working on a Model A is much easier when you are the right height!

On of our club members gave me a seat cushion he had made for a 30 ccpu. My truck had the wrong seats in it. He said it sits a little lower than the standard seat. I know Snyder's sells a taller back rest. Does anyone have the height of that back rest handy? Or the dimensions of the standard. I...

In planning on new paint, I was researching colors, and am going to use rubellite red. (Dec 30) I read somewhere that commercials were painted black inside to closer match the seats and trim, but didn't find anything about that in the judging standards. Can anyone clarify?

I recently acquired a 30 CCPU, and the title as well as Radiator shroud and splash pans are 1930. Not surprising the engine number shows a 31 serial number, obviously someone changed the title to match the replacement engine somehow. The frame has a December 1930 serial number. Now, the part I...

After putting new springs on the front of my 51 F1 it seems pretty choppy even though the shocks seem to have good action to them, (removed and cycled). I am considering putting Sumosprings in. They look to be a perfect fit, and with their variable compression I think it might help. But I...

My Town sedan has a poorly fit radiator The hood fits badly like the front is high, and the radiator is tilted back. If I straighten the radiator the hood probably wont latch at all. The radiator that was in it had shims to raise it up. When I replaced the radiator I was planning on...

My Roadster had no shocks for years and frankly, unless I hit some washboard I didn't miss them. But in order to make them right, I decided to buy some. I found a set of shocks and the two front arms here on Fordbarn, being sold by a very well known and respected Model A restorer that is no...
