A few - maybe QUITE a few - years ago I posted a topic about how to measure backspacing. But since the group got reconfigured, it's probably in the FAQs but I can't locate it. Does anyone have a link or a copy of the article? I didn't keep it in my computer archives.

Does anyone know of a source for a flexplate for '59-'62 yblock hooked to an FMX transmission? Best I can tell, the original Ford # is B9A-6375-B

I've looked but cannot find any restoration interest, sales or other info on this power seat. I have a parts car '54 Crestline 4 door sedan that has one in it. I've owned the car for over 50 years; it's been one of those "I'll get to it someday" (stripping & scrapping) projects that just...

Recently I got into a discussion on another site about the engines used in 1956 F800s & maybe other Big Job trucks. Some are saying they were 332s (not the later FE series). I always & maybe mistakenly thought there was just one Lincoln Yblock version & it was a 302. Or were both sizes used...

Remember those cheap plaid seat covers we used to be able to get from J.C.Whitney or similar sources? A friend is looking to get set of them for his '41 Ford 2 door sedan but can't find any that would fit his split back seat. Horse blanket style, plaid or solid would work but he prefers to...

I've got a '64 Comet 2 door & am trying to find the correct interior trim/upholstery color for for the seats. The VIN tag Trim code is T but it isn't listed in my Parts Book. Does anyone know have a chart for the interior trim codes? Thx.

My brother is looking for a headliner kit for his '56 Fordor HARDTOP (not sedan) Body Style 57A. My parts book shows the base # but it's black-starred (obsolete). I figure the # for it would probably be B5A- or B6A-5751916 *** (not sure if the '55s would be same). I checked some of the usual...

Asking for a friend who has a '53 8BA. He is unable to remove several stuck valve guides. Any advice or special tools needed to remove them?

Wanted ORIGINAL 1995 Ford Ranger owners manual. Complete, with no missing or loose pages or severe damage but doesn't have to be mint. NO reprints. e-mail photos and price including shipping to racenstuff@hotmail.com

I'm not at all knowledgeable about Model T's. But I have an octogenarian friend who has an old book about T's, he said his dad bought it many years ago because he had a mid-teens T. He's not looking to sell the book but was asking if I know if it is a common pub, and what its value might be...

Not sure if everyone or anyone has heard about this. I recently got a pair of Mustang spindles to convert a '64 Comet to V8 & disc. Shortly after getting them I received the following recall notice: *February 9, 2019 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19E011000 Wheel Spindles may Fail Spindle...

Does anyone here have a good source for a Mercury Parts book or (preferably) CD with illustrations & text for 1960-'64s? I checked eBay, didn't see anything but non-OEM manuals. I'd like to get a complete set of originals if possible. I posted here first but will also put a want-ad on the...

FOUND FOUND FOUND! Thanks to all who offered. Looking for one or two hubcaps for my old haywagon that has Ford spoke wheels. Not looking for gold! - just something to replace a missing cap. Can be beat up, dented, etc. not mint but just a cap that will fit & stay on. Design doesn't have to...

I know a fella that's looking for F600 hood side emblems for a '54. New or excellent used. Does anyone know a good source for them or other mid-50s heavy Ford truck parts?

This photo was posted on a FaceBook site but I didn't see any info about it. It appears to be a '46-'47 pickup clip, with a late 40s wagon body and I don't know what chassis. QUESTION I have - might this have been a common production vehicle, or a custom build that combines car & truck...

Hey I recently snagged a '56 F100 shortbox pickup to eventually be a nice bookend for my '56 Fairlane. Needs total restore but is gonna be fun. QUESTIONS: * Does anyone here know how to decipher the production codes for these pickups, or know a good source for the info? I got most of the VIN...

Hey folks. My brother rebuilding an FOM trans for his '56, needs a new or good used front converter turbine for it. The trans is out of my old parts car - a '56 Fairlane originally with a 312, code on the trans case tag is PAR-7003-F2 and based on what I'm seeing in the parts book the # for...

So we go out for a drive with the Fairlane on this beautiful Indian Summer afternoon in Michigan - and get pulled over! Well, actually I pulled over when we spotted this '47 - or is it a '48? - Ford sitting alongside the road near Cohocta (small village nearby). Not a real police car but...

This picture below is from the town I grew up in, only much much earlier than I am! I'm guessing it's late teens/early 20s but identifying the cars in it may help others I know put a closer date on it. Note there's an Oakland car dealership in the picture too. My swag on the front T is 1915...
