    Water pump - repair or replace

    I've been working on the 1937 pickup for a while. While underneath the truck, I noticed coolant seeping from the shaft of the left water pump. I have several options: buy a rebuild kit with a new seal, send the pump out to one of our expert rebuilders or buy a new pump advertised with new...

    Brentwood Bob shocks

    Unsolicited shout out. My '29 standard coupe came with a modern shock set on the car and as many will know , the ride is pretty stiff with such a light car with the tube type shocks. I contacted Bob after seeing his ad on the swap section of the 'barn and purchased a set from him along with...

    '37 spark plug wires

    It’s time to replace the spark plug wires so Charlie NY's rebuilt distributor with Skip's coil can function at their best. The wires go through the metal tube from the rubber boots on the distributor to the spark plugs. I have the tubes off the truck. What’s the best way to thread them...

    '39 throw out bearing size

    I'm almost done with the rebuild of the '39 early synchro style transmission thanks to Mac Van Pelt's book and many hours of learning. The last item to fit is the throw out bearing. In the picture, the hub and bearing that are on the transmission are on top with the inside and outside...

    Shifter fork wear

    Here's another question that's come up as I rebuild my early '39 transmission. I disassembled the shifter, removed the forks and checked the wear on the the 2nd/high fork. My question is how much wear is OK? The fork tips measure .303 and aside from a slight ridge the surfaces are smooth...

    Older style synchro

    I’ve got the transmission out of the 37 pickup and find that all the gears look good along with the older style synchro. The synchro teeth are still full size and only show some minor wear. I'm wondering if I need to replace the 6 balls and springs since it 'clicks' into the gears OK or so it...

    Pulling the transmission…

    Pulling the transmission… The '39 transmission in my '37 pickup is coming out for a rebuild. The early style synchromesh has quit and it pops out of second gear. None of that is a concern since I have Mac Van Pelt's book and catalog and I enjoy doing this sort of work. BUT when I pulled the...

    Rear axle key orientation

    I pulled the rear drums on the '29 coupe a few days ago, cleaned everything up but I forgot to check how the axle key fits back in the axle groove. I have the ones Snyder's sells with the somewhat elongated bevel. Going to write it down this time.....inside the drum...

    Handle escutcheon installation

    I suspect we've all had some difficulty trying to push the door handle or window crank escutcheon in far enough to remove and then replace the pin that holds the handle to the shaft. I have the Drake tool but it's a bear to push the escutcheon in far enough to get the pin out. Even worse is...

    Loose condenser bracket

    A good friend of mine has had a 1937 pickup in his family since 1937. He'd had intermittent running problems for several years. The truck would start up, go for several miles and then just quit. The firewall coil resistor had to be replaced but the problem persisted. I'm caretaking the truck...

    1916 New Hampshire license plate

    I was given a 1916 New Hampshire license plate a while back. I would like to see it used by someone with a '16 in NH. The plate is free, you pay Flat Rate shipping (or come get it). You must prove you own a 1916 Model T (or other car of that year) before I will ship.

    Cam gear noise after warmup

    I recently bought a 1929 standard coupe with an engine rebuilt 6 or 7 years ago and two owners ago. After warmup the cam gear is rattling. I tested it using the timing pin method described in the various threads on this topic. I plan to pull the timing cover to investigate. My question is...

    Gas tank sender unit gasket

    On a dust off ride on Sunday, my tank gauge read empty with a full tank so on return I removed the sending unit and found the float full of gas. I tested the gauge and it works OK. A new float and gasket are on the way from Joe's but I want to be sure I reinstall the sending unit and gasket...
