Good evening all, Guys, I have some questions, please. I recently bought a 37 half ton, and to be honest, I am not real familiar with the banjo differential setup and the torque arms / suspension. Top speed of this old truck is about 50, and I am not wanting a high speed vehicle but it would...

Good evening all, It's been quite a long time since I have posted anything but thought I would now. I have been looking at a 37 Ford pickup that is located out by Wichita, so today the wife and I made the 190 mile trip from home, to go look it over. This little truck has had a lot of work...

Hello Barners! It's been some time since I have visited and posted on the forum and this may have been discussed at some point, and I may have even posed the question once before but here goes. My 56 Victoria get's extremely hot inside on these hot summer days after driving it some distance...

Hello Barners! Hope everyone is doing well ! I am wondering if it is possible to replace the sector shaft adjusting screw on a 1956 Ford Victoria steering gear box, and if so, is it even possible to find one? Thanks!! Kevin

Good evening Barners, It's been awhile since I've posted but thought I'd throw this one out and see what kind of replies I get! What makes an old car feel like it's floating when you drive it at highway speeds? My 56 Vicky has always seemed like a floater and you have to stay on top of...

Good evening Barners, Anyone have a suggestion on the best way to insulate or re insulate the firewall on a 56 Vicky that already has new carpet/pad installed? This is the first summer I've owned this car (Bought it at the end of September last year), and driving the car when the temps are in...

Hello all, Have a question please. Does anyone know if the power steering system from a 56 Merc is the same as the 56 Victoria? If so, I may have a chance at buying one. Thanks in advance! Kevin

Happy Easter everyone!! Well, lastnight we attended the second car show for my 56 and it won the Best of Show trophy. Here are some of the photos from lastnight.

Just got the Vicky out of the upholstery shop last Friday.

Thought I would share a photo of my car at the first car show of the season last Saturday.

Merry Christmas everyone! Kevin

Good morning Barners, Anyone ever had a bearing go bad in a generator? While out driving yesterday, the 56 developed a heck of a loud squeal. The noise speeds up when the engine accelerates and back down. I thought it might possibly be a bearing gone bad in the water pump so I removed...

Good evening everyone, Was wondering if anyone has ever dealt with the window flapper issues on a 56 Victoria? Here's what is going on with mine. The one on the passenger side works fine but the drivers side, don't turn down all way when the door shuts. The reason is that the wing vent is no...

Good evening all, Thought I'd post this and get some thoughts from you all about an issue I am having. My 56 Vicky with a 292 has a fresh engine overhaul with 250 miles on it. It also has a 4 barrel Holley 4000 teapot carb that was rebuilt by Mike Suter back in June. The car also has a...

Good morning all, I have been a member for awhile but this is my first post to the Late V8 Forum. I recently purchased a nice 56 Vicki and will be selling my 47 Super Deluxe, so wanted to stop by and say howdy!! Here are a few pics of my 56 Kevin

For sale is my mostly original 1947 Ford Super Deluxe with 239 Flathead V8. The only thing that is not original is that someone converted the exhaust to duals and a previous owner replaced the interior with some red velour material and there are a couple of small tears on the bottom of the front...

Good morning Barners, Ok, one of the main reasons I removed the oil pan on my 47 (besides to replace the gaskets), was because the threads in the boss where the by-pass filter return line screws in are stripped. I know that Bob Drake is the main source for them, but they are back ordered...

Hey guys, I have seen some post lately about oil pan removal. Well, I am in the process of removing the pan on my car, 47 V8 Super Deluxe to replace the pan gaskets, and the worn out dipstick boss which is currently on back order from Bob Drake. I have the pan almost out but it's hitting...

Hey all, I am looking for a good coil stand / bracket for a 47 Flathead V8 and hoping someone may possibly have one off a bad flatty. It's the flat bracket that has 2 holes at the bottom that bolts to the intake, that the coil mounts onto. One of the 2 holes on mine is broken / gone! So...

Hello all, Ok, I know this has been posted before and beat to death, but at the expense of being redundant, I'd like to throw this out for discussion one more time. Awhile back I posted about my headlights being dim on my 47 Ford Super Deluxe. Got a lot of great feedback about...
