After many years of being torn down to freshen up the brakes and suspension I have finally gotten around to putting 'Henry' back together. Putting a new rubber ball on the wishbone has proven to be a very difficult task. I have a new rubber ball which I have had for years, the hole in the ball...

: A couple of months ago I was surfing the Web and came upon a rare rear luggage rack for a 36 Ford. I don't recall ever seeing one up close an personal. The seller was asking a pretty hefty price for the unit, I called him anyway to get more info on what he had. The pix posted with the ad...

I am between a rock and a hard place: The engine in my '36, a 59AB that is far from stock has been in hibernation for many years, getting ready to pull it out and send it off to be freshened up. The engine was last rebuilt in 1960, it has never given me any trouble. I have a Harmon Collins...

I'm in the process of freshening my '36 up. Tires were on the list because the tires on "Henry" are over 25 years old. I love radial tires, have been using them on everything except the '36 for the past 30 + years. I have talked to Coker Tire on several occasions during the past two years, I...

Thursday and Friday of the past week should turn out to be very memorable days for me and my '36 Ford, which we generally refer to as "Henry". Henry has been slumbering in my garage, sitting on axle stands for over twenty years. I have told myself many times that I need to get busy and finish...

In need of a decent windshield frame and a right door window and operator for a 36 Ford truck... The condition of the window is not of great importance.

I recently posted a response to the F.B. Forum regarding a question about rear suspension on a '46-48 Merc. I have a '46-48 Merc rear end under my '36 so I posted a couple of pix of my rear suspension. I received a PM this AM asking questions about how I attached the tube shocks to the upper...

Cruising around craigslist a few weeks ago I stumbled into an interesting truck, a '61 F100 Uni-body 4x. The engine is a '64 292 V8 with a BW 4spd and a Spicer-Dana 2spd transfer case. I determined that the engine was a '64 because it has a factory style PCV and there is no crank case vent hole...

Recently there was a topic that ran for several days asking about information/suggestions for one of the regular contributors, concerning his desire to secure a EFV8 car that he could do safety modifications to for daily use by him and his 16 year old daughter. I and others made several...

While doing some research through the 35-36 Ford Book I paused to look at the body drawings contained there-in. Since I have a 5 window coupe, I took a hard look at the drawings of the 35-36 5 window coupes. My review picked up on the very obvious difference in the shape of the fenders, the 35...

A recent discussion appeared on the EFV8 Forum pertaining to the convertible tops on the '40 conv. cpe. I responded to the question as best I could because I have had some experience with early convertibles from '36 to 48, Ford and non Ford... While responding to the question I remembered that I...

I recently sold a '46 Ford Deluxe V8 2dr sdn to a man in Washington. With the exception of a 8BA engine in lieu of a 59AB, the car was dead stock in very nice condition. The VIN/Serial number stamped into the frame and on the transmission is; 99A-76xxxx, the title and registration also has the...

Following all of the contributions on an earlier thread regarding the pro's/con's of the need for thermostats in a Ford flat-head engine, I went looking through my stash of parts to see if I had any thermostats for the '32-36 Fords, that being what the original question was about. Low and behold...

I was recently talking to my brother about tires for his '37 Ford 4dr sdn. The tires he has on the car is a set of Firestone WW that I gave him in 1981/82. Since the car is always garaged and is only driven less than 1k per year the tires have held up well. My brother has decided that he wants...

From time to time I have made comments here on the FB about a '37 Ford 4dr sdn that my brother owns.. The car is a very nice "survivor" which my brother has owned since about 1974. When my brother bought the car it was in excellent shape, obviously it had been repainted an original tan color and...

I was recently re-arranging some "stuff" in my shop, I pulled out an engine that I had acquired many years ago. The stampings on the engine are not anything that I'm familiar with; The bore is 3-3/16, heads are 59 AB, block has, E27722 M.. cast into the bell-housing, with a very faint 59 that...

I have an excellent V8 60 radiator for a '37 pickup, which has been sitting in the rafters of my garage since 1966.. I bought the radiator in about 1963-64 when I was restoring a '37 pickup. At the time I was told the radiator was a special option desert radiator, large core and a shroud.. Found...

Throughout the many years that I have been on the Ford Barn and EFV8 Club, Forum I have to smile to myself each time.. G.M., responds to a topic and some people take him to task for touting "Skips water-pumps, etc".. Actually I think that G.M. deserves more credit for his responses, in lieu of...

I am helping a friend of mine that has a '33 coupe with very bad steering gears.. They need to be rebuilt... We sent them off to company that said they could rebuild the assembly.. A few days after they received the complete assembly, they called, saying that they were not interested and were...
