Looking for a good Model A engine. Mine has broken babbitt, so I need one with a decent bottom end. Short block is fine, I can assemble the rest. An early '30 numbers engine would be great but I'll take what you got. I'm in NJ and am willing to travel a little if you have something good.Please...

Another rivet question…. I’m assuming there is a set of tools used o install the crank hole cover rivet. Anyone know the type/size? Thanks!

Hello everyone. I’m looking to install the patent plate onto my pop out cable on my early ‘30 pick up. It has the small “twisted” rivet. Do I just drill a tiny hole and hammer it home? Or is there another technique? Thanks!

Hello, Barners... Do we know if all 30-31 sedan door panels are the same, or are the '31 slant windshields different? My car is a late '31 Briggs... Thanks!

Took the "A" for another shakedown run today. Cruising along just fine for an hour or so, and it just quit. Figured a condenser or something. Going through my roadside checks, no spark. I pop the cap to look at the points, and crank the engine. I noticed the rotor was not turning, not good...

Hello, everyone. I'm doing the 12 volt conversion over the winter season. Anyone have a preferred vendor to purchase a complete kit from? I'm not interested in fabricating brackets, or piecing several pieces together to save a buck. Thank you in advance. P.S., no need to convince me to stay...

Hello all. I have a 30 CCPU and it has developed a fuel leak at the tank. I bought a good used tank, but it needs paint, etc. so it is not ready yet. I would still like to use the truck for a few upcoming events. I have a small fuel cell lying around from my old racing days. My question is...

Hello. I have a set of 16" wheels for my 30 CC P/U and I was wondering about the center cap size. Are the 5 3/4 4-cylinder Model B size correct? Is the 5 3/4 the inside hub size, where the cap snaps on? Thanks.

Does anyone know a windshield shop/installer/individual that can install the windshield glass into the frame assembly, with the proper lacing, etc. I gave up trying to figure it out. I live in the central NJ area, and will travel reasonably. Thanks!

I have (2) 16 inch wheels with tires (still hold air!!) for sale. $50 for the pair. One wheel is in good shape, one has slightly worn holes. Shouldn't be a problem if you use washers on the lugs. no noticeable cracks. local delivery available. If not, see ya in Macungie!

Hello, Barn It's time to install the windshield glass in my 30 CC P/U. I have read that there are several different tape types, and thickness, to use on the glass. Anyone have any advice? Techniques? Also, how does the windshield frame attach to the cab? I did not disassemble the cab, and...

Hello, Barners'. Well, the 30CC P/U is coming along nicely. It's time to install new tires. I have later Ford 16" spokes for the truck. The rims are sand-blasted and primed. Do these wheels generally hold air well, or should I run tubes? I would like to run radial tires, any recommendations...

Hello. It's time for me to install the body (CC) on the chassis. Does anyone have pictures of the block placement? Is it easier to attach the blocks to the body first, before lowering it onto the chassis? Glue? Screws? Everything is freshly painted and I'm trying to keep it from getting banged...

I am making progress with the pick-up. The fuel tank and lacing are in, and the radiator shell is on. Time to line up the hood, then the doors. A fellow barn-er said to start from the hood, then work back. I have things lined up well, except that the hood latches pull the hood away from the body...

Hello Ford Barn-ers. I am restoring a closed cab 30 Pick-up. It is now time to get the door fit and hood alignment done, before going out for paint. This being my first resto, I have 0% experience with this kind of thing. I understand the principle of the technique using shims on the chassis and...
