I'm working on a speedster project and want to use disk wheels off a Chevy. I found the thread below but no one said they had done it. The stud circle is the same but Chevys have 6 studs rather than 5. It would be nice to buy Model A hubs and drums without the stud holes so I could drill my own...

I have three engines that need to go. One is a 21 stud '37 engine (water pumps in block) but comes with earlier heads. One is a '40 engine sleeved from the factory. One is a 59AB which has a cracked block that should be repairable. Heads and manifolds are included with all of them. I also have a...

I have several transmissions which need a new home. Based on Van Pelt's book I believe they are 1935 to 1938. They should be rebuildable since they shift through the gears. One is apart. Shifters are included but not shown in photos. One has a broken gear (1st I believe). I also have a set of...

1940/41 Pickup Front Fenders ** Sold ** Fenders sold. Thanks Ford Barn

A nice pair of front fenders. Will require some minor straightening and inner fender repair around the battery location - $200 each. I also have a pair of running boards and a hood.

I have two ring gears, 34 and 37, and a 9 tooth pinion gear. Is there a way to tell which ring gear goes with the pinion or does it not make a difference?

Can someone tell me the distance between shackle holes for a rear spring with no load? I don't have one I can measure. Thanks, Larry Young

I have to shorten a Model A driveshaft. I plan to cut at the taper end and have the taper, keyway and threads remachined. The driveshaft I have shows some trauma in the center part of the taper. Based on the unworn ends I measure a taper of 0.121 in/in. I read 9:1 taper (0.111 in/in) in an...

I'm restoring the steering column and steering box for a '40 pickup. I have two columns with keys. I got the key to work on one, but the other is too rusty even after weeks of soaking with penetrating oil. It appears the tube will not come off and unless it is unlocked and naturally the rusty...

I have some 39 gears I want to install in a Model B transmission case. I've rebuilt v8 transmissions before, but are there any issues installing them in a Model B case? It is to be mated to a Model A driveshaft. Can I use a v8 u-joint, etc. and rear mount? Sorry, if this has been addressed...

I called the dealers for rear window glass for my '40 pickup. They said $100 + $50 for shipping and a 6 week wait. A 6 week wait usually meams 6+ months. Is there a template published somewhere so I can have the glass cut locally. I need only the rear window now, but will need door and...

I'm getting ready to install the door windows in a 1940 pickup. I've bought the stuff from the dealers. The new front channels are wide enough to allow the glass to move around, whereas the originals have additional material filling up the gap. Do I need something else to fill the gap? I've...

I've almost got my 1940 patina truck roadworthy. I need some advice on getting the hood to close. Most of the latch arms I've seen are broken, so I want it to close easier. I've done a lot of rust repair so it has been mostly apart. I've (sort of) repaired an original grill. It's now...

I need a set of rear brakes for a project. I've got a set of 40 brakes, but I've only got the left side emergency brake levers (see photo). So, I'm looking for the right side levers. I would consider a complete backing plate assembly for the right price. I don't have to have hydraulics, so if...

I need a restorable Model A torque tube/driveshaft, differential, rear axle and rear brakes. Will consider an entire chassis for the right price. Would prefer within driving distance of Tulsa, OK or at Chickasha swap meet. - Larry Young

I need the chrome center grill section of a '40 Standard/Pickup or '41 Pickup. Drake reproduces the whole grill, but will not sell center separately. Doesn't have to be pristine, but should be decent. Please send PM. Thanks, Larry Young Tulsa, OK

I have two pickup projects I'm working on. One is a restoration and the other is the patina truck. We mocked up the restoration before painting and are questioning the fit of the front fenders. It seems they fit down almost on top of the frame. The fenders are still on the patina truck, but not...

Here is a photo of the door stop (strap) for my '40 pickup. Most of these are mangled beyond recognition, but this one is fairly nice. There are rivets on the inner support piece above and below the hole. What was the purpose of these rivets? If that are to hold a reinforcement or something...

I've tried to check the archives. There is a lot of discussion on this subject, but I haven't found an answer to my question. I'm going with 12v on my '41 pickup project. I have purchased the 12v field coils and installed them in the generator case. I've set up a test stand using an old...
