Has anyone used the aftermarket carburetor that replaces the Ford 2 barrel on a 52 F1,2,3 ? When I got my truck it had a Stromberg on it. I have tried several different carburetors of the FORD type after rebuilding them with no luck. I need a carb that works. I want my yard art to move. Thanks.

Has anyone fitted king pins to a 1933 BB Ford truck? This is the big axle, not the pickup. Does anyone have an axle set? Thanks.

Before i either buy a Brass Works or other NEW radiator for mine does anyone have a GOOD usable one near Central Florida at a fair price? 1933-1934 Ford flathead V8 BB large commercial truck. Thanks

The engine that has been fitted to my 33 Ford BB truck is an 8BA. The stamped number on the block top is 32SF114492. The engine was rebuilt by FOMOCO in Boston years ago. Has 10 over pistons and 1 slightly burned exhaust valve. I overheated it and blew head gasket. My reason for asking is that...

What should the cold crank amps be for a 6 volt battery on a 8BA engine? Other then Optima does anyone have a suggestion what battery to use to have better cranking reserve? What should the output be for the generator on 8BA engine? My battery is a little over 14 months old and has no cranking...

OK maybe I am beating a dead horse, but I seem to lose most of the voltage to my ignition coil during cranking with the starter. I have run 0 and 00 cables to ground and starter. I have cleaned the connections on the battery, frame, engine, and starter switch. Also replaced the foot starter...

Help please. I tried calling MAC's parts with no help on parts. Their "Ford Guy" retired. I was looking for door window channel sticks to replace the felts with. My old channels look OK. I think that I can get away with just cutting the universal sticks to proper length. Does anyone know which...

I just noticed that the driveshaft tube on my 33 BB 157" wheelbase has a crack between the front knuckle joint and the next crossmember. Can this be welded or sleeved? Or do I have to pull everything and find a new intermediate tube? Gilda was right "It's always something!"

Hello again. On the drivers door of my 1933 BB truck the coiled striker pin spring has broken. MAC parts lists several for the passenger cars, but not much on the trucks. 2 questions here. Does anyone know which spring to use for the trucks, and how does one install said spring into the latch...

OK I am running an 8BA/EAB flat head in my 1933 BB truck. When I got this engine it had no thermostats in it. Guessing it is around a 1948-1952 engine. I am running dual temperature gauges. One left head and one right head. Both are in the head between 2nd and 3rd cylinder on each side. Should...

I need to find the door window channel inserts for my truck. I am unsure of what is listed in the catalogs as I find the listings confusing for fitment. These are the pieces that keep the windows from rattling and seal them in the door. Universal ones will do if they fit. Thank you for any help...

On my 1933 BB truck the drivers door lower hinge rivets have pulled thru the door. Stress cracks from always being used. I need advice and opinion on repairing the door where the hinge mounts. The lower hinge was originally riveted to the door body and bolted to the cab. What is the best way to...

I need at least 4 20 inch tires that are good enough to hold air/tube so that my project truck can be a roller. 500-20 thru 800-20 will work to hold it up. 600-20 would be perfect. Not looking for road safe tires, just roller project tires. I can't see paying $1200 for tires that will be used...

I hope this hasn't been asked to much. I did a search and didn't find the answer. Does anyone know what the difference is between the 48-6038-ADT mount and the 41A-6023 mount adapters? All that I see in the pictures is the bolt kit. It says 41A-6023 fits up to 1934 and 48-6038-ADP fits 1935 on...

I need at least 4 600-20 tires suitable for a roller project 34 BB Ford. These do not need to be road worthy, but I don't want them to blow up when putting them on either. Reasonable priced and in Florida if possible. They are $159 new Lucas from Performance so plwase keep that in mind when...

My 1934 BB large truck has a 1937 engine in it. What is the best way to correct the engine height and lower radiator hose alignment? Honest Charlie's lists a cast swan neck to fit lower hoses and one of the other suppliers lists S shaped hose for the lower. Any thoughts? Also some list...

I am looking for a front spreader bar for my 33/34 BB big truck. Mine is not straight or V shaped. It has a curve that dips to clear the crank handle if you were to use one. The previous owner used it to tow the truck and bent and broke it. -u- shaped sort of. Thanks, John

I am in search of 4 20" tires good enough to support my 1933/34 BB truck while I get it running. Just want to be able to roll the truck on something other than flats. I have 7 good wheels, but only 1 holds air. Near Central Florida would be great so that I could pick them up and not have to...

Hello, I am new to the group and am in the process of buying a 1933 BB stake bed project. It has the rear brakes stuck. What should I know about trying to free them so that it can be loaded on a trailer for transport home? It has been sitting in a field in Montana for years. I am told it...
