The 29 CCPU left a while ago on a trailer to it's new home. :( I'm sure it's new owner will be ale to give it the care and attention in a CLOSED garage, that I couldn't do myself.;) I'll still be lurking about, though!:D

I was at a local junk shop yesterday, and saw a pair of the clamp-on expanding scissor type running board luggage/cargo holders. Just wondering...did Ford ever make them, or were they an aftermarket accessory? Also, what might a pair of them in decent shape be worth? These needed some T.L.C...

Looking to sell my 1929 Closed Cab Pickup. Recently rebuilt the water pump, replaced the engine pans, added oil filler breather, and new air maze filter. Truck comes with a 4 blade fan. New 10 leaf rear spring and shackles just installed, as well as radiator brace rods and hood support and...

I'm seriously thinking of selling the 29 CCPU. I really don't have the money to keep pouring more and more into it, being on a fixed income.:( I do have a clear title, so that helps, but I'm still up in the air...:cool: I just don't know...

While working under the 29 today, I noticed that the ball at the end of the front radius rods seems to just be floating in the mount on the bottom of the transmission. What's the best way to eliminate the loose play in the mount?

The packing adjustment nut on my 29 is totally shot, stripped out. :( Is it easier to get a rebuild kit and replace everything except the housing, or just to get a "Leakless" water pump from a supplier and replace the whole thing? The pump seems to work pretty well excepting for dripping water...

Well, took the 29 CCPU into town to get registered today. Had a surprise when I got there. Walked out of the courthouse and saw the exhaust pipe on the ground, disconnected from the manifold!:eek: I managed to get it hooked back up, but I will need the entire clamp, donut, gaskets and...

Has anyone in the barn ever encountered any Model A or AA "Professional Car" conversions, I.E. Hearses, Ambulances, Flower Cars and the like?

After greasing every grease fitting I could find, I took the 29 for a little drive today on our local gravel road to get things settled in. There seemed to be an excessive amount of play in the steering, about a 1/4 of a turn of the wheel!:eek: Any adjustments to tighten things up a...

Here is an odd question that perhaps some of the street rod enthusiasts might be able to help me with. Is there a smaller diameter steering wheel, like a hot rod wheel, that will go on the stock steering shaft, and allow me to keep the original light switch and horn button? Looking to get a...

I installed the new rebuilt oval speedo in the 29 today. When I took it out for a test, nothing. I then noticed that the gear drive was facing the wrong direction on the ******, so it actually worked in reverse, but not forward! After re-installing the drive, the speedo worked for about 10...

I just heard about a swap meet in Louisville, Ky. this weekend at the fairgrounds.:) Anyone have any more info?

I got the new fuel tank installed in the bed of the pickup, the pump wired to a on-off switch, the fuel system plumbed up, and IT RUNS!:) Just did a short test drive out to my mailbox (About 1.25 miles) and back on the lumpy gravel road. Only got her into second gear, but it's a start!:p Next...

Just a general question...I'm a pretty big guy, about 6'1" and about 290, and I'm curious...which body style of the Model A had the most room in the driver's seat? I'm thinking a Phaeton, or a Fordor, but I'm not sure...:confused: Things like clearance from the wheel, leg room, seat...

Do any of you speedster owners have a recommendation for a good 6 Volt electric fuel gauge to use on an A with a separate fuel tank and electric sending unit?

Guys, I'm putting an auxiliary Gas Tank on my 29CCPU, and I don't want to chop off the original fuel line, just unscrew it to save the line and sediment bowl for possible future use. Can anyone tell me the size of the screw fitting for the fuel inlet on a Zenith carb, so I can just mount the...

Can anyone with a speedster or a similar type of car tell me what kind of a fuel pressure regulator you use to get the proper pressure to the carb from an 6 volt electric fuel pump? Also, what would be the pressure at the carb? Somewhere around 1-2 P.S.I.?

Since I am still fighting rust in the cowl tank of my 29 CCPU, I am considering mounting a marine type plastic gas tank in the bed with a 6v fuel pump and regulator to bypass the problem altogether. Has anyone else ever tried this? I know it's somewhat similar to the idea of a Speedster tank...

This morning a friend of mine picked up a couple of things for me at a local second-hand store. One is a "Stewart-Warner Alemite " grease gun which looks a lot like the little hand pump plunger gun for a Model A. The other is a wrench stamped "Ford" on one side and the numbers t 5893 on the...
