Can anybody tell me what the starter shaft end play should be? I'm mixing parts and the endcap that I want to use appears to result in a slightly longer end play (in and out).

So the rear plate in my existing 12V starter fractured in 3 places where the shaft goes through it. It looks like there is additional damage where the shaft wobbled around so I'm in need of a new starter. I'm not really finding much and what is offered seems to be questionable. Can anyone...

This has been sitting on a shelf since '99. It may have been on my pickup when I bought it or it could have been in one of several boxes of junk that came with the truck. I did some internet searches but didn't find anything that looked exactly the same. I would like to know if it's even a Ford...

This one looks interesting and fairly affordable. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/pts/d/owatonna-ford-parts-tools-and-much-more/7418379687.html

Just happened to come across this and thought you may find it interesting as it shows some of the vehicles and weapons Ford was building for the military. https://usautoindustryworldwartwo.com/ford.htm

Just found this entertaining youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUvM5te8ZoY

So my wife started hearing a very light chirping noise and we figured out that it happened when I pushed in the clutch. I immediately thought it was the throw out bearing and decided to keep running it until this winter. Well the noise got worse so I pulled the truck apart tonight. I'm running a...

I have a pair of rear backing plates complete with shoes, wheel cylinders, springs, parking brake arms and cams ready to bolt on. The shoes,springs and cylinders were new before I used them for about 3 months. I ended up hot rodding my truck over the first winter and these have been sitting on...

I know there has been a lot of negative feelings about the "new" Mac's so I thought I would post something positive. There may be hope or I just caught the right person at the right time. I purchased one of those glass swirl shift knobs to replace one that I broke. Had it for 15 years but I...

Got these with my pickup 20 years ago and its time to go but I haven't a clue as to what they are. The one on the left is a oil bath (still full of oil) and has a large diamond with a D in the middle. The other larger one seems to be unmarked and I can't see that it was an oil bath. Any...

I have a set of front backing plates complete with shoes,wheel cylinders,springs and cams ready to bolt on. The shoes,springs and cylinders were new before I used them for about 3 months. I ended up hot rodding my truck over the first winter and these have been sitting on my shelf ever since...

I don't believe that there is anyplace here to post links to early Ford Craigslist ads. I belong to several other sites (not car) that have such a thing and I think its great. Lately there has been a lot of nice looking cars as well as parts for sale on my local CL and it would be nice to share...

I have a nice set of parking brake arms for both left and right rear brakes of '39 through '48 cars. Also fits 1/2T "trucks" (commercial cars) through '42 and maybe later but not sure on that. 75$ shipped to lower 48. Part # 2103 RH Part # 2104 LH Part # 2108 RH Part # 2109 LH

I'm working over my brakes and so I picked up some of the recommended Sta-Lube grease. My question is if this stuff is supposed to have the consistency of tar? If so I can see how it wouldn't leak out of the hubs. Thanks.

Not totally stock but tastefully modified. The supercharged, twin plug flatty was built by H&H and they mention Third Gen Automotive as well as Red's.

New documentary at 8pm tonight on the St Paul Ford plant for all you that can get TCPT. Others may be able to locate it online at a later date. https://www.twincities.com/2019/01/11/tpt-twin-cities-pbs-releases-new-st-paul-ford-assembly-plant-documentary/

I have a really nice 1-27-1947 Life magazine that I would like to send to a '47 owner for just the cost of postage. As well as the Ford ad it has several other cool ads. Let me know if you want it.

Just came across this and I though others may be interested. http://vs57.y-block.info/

Yes they are street rods but in the new Nov 18 issue of Street Rodder there are three featured cars with flatheads. One of them is Chip Fooses's blown '32. Two of the engines are by H & H. Interesting how they just keep showing up. Flatheads forever!

Saw lots of flatheads at the show over the weekend. Seems like there are more every year and they just get better looking. Here are just a couple of the photos I took.
