    Shoebox parking brake.

    See images. Hopefully someone can help. Is my parking brake lever installed correctly. This is the passenger side pictured. The lever is to the rear of the car and the cable is entering from the front. My issue is it just seems as though when I pull the parking brake handle it would pull this...

    Shoebox Brake Drum replacement

    I bought new drums from Dennis Carpenter. I received what was pictured in the catalog. But they don't fit. There is an extra lip on the new drum that interferes with a piece of the backing plate. My old drum didn't have this lip. It wouldn't be very hard to cut this piece off of the backing...

    1950 Rearend Disassembly

    Slowly getting back to work so the progress on the project is slowing down. This whole COVID thing made me realize how much work gets in the way of me doing things I want to do. Anyway, I tried taking apart the rearend. I removed the 10 nuts from around the differential thingy. I don't know if...

    1959 Coupe Header question

    Title states 1959. I meant 1950. Sorry. This is a shoebox question. What is the difference between a convertible car and the rest that make some headers only fit convertibles? What is in the way? And for a convertible it's less than half the price. You'd think they sell more non convertible...

    AOD to flathead

    I know this message board is not for “hot rods” or customs, this AOD is just about the only thing I’m upgrading on this car. Everything else will be pretty stock. Anyway, my question is the kit from speedway motors came with a bunch of nuts, bolts and washers. I have four star washers. Do they...

    Original Fomoco shocks

    1950 Ford original shocks. Are they valuable to anybody. I was going to throw them away. Should I save them or sell them? I have two of them. Each one has a broken stud too.

    Oil slinger, crank snout, crank sleeve.

    Some of you I’m sure are recognizing my name by now. I’m not getting rid of this car in the near future. So I’ll be asking questions here. The “oil slinger” key way doesn’t touch the key way on the crank. Maybe the new crank gear acts as both? I don’t know. See pictures. Also, the crank...

    Do I have an 8BA? or..

    I'm a little confused, guys. I'm relatively new to this Ford Flathead stuff. I have a 1950 Coupe with the original engine rebuilt and getting ready to go back in. I'm thinking about either a T5 or C4/C6 adapter. I want to make sure that I get the right thing. On the Speedway website they...

    50 Shoebox lower A arm outer seals

    I hope this is a safe space for dumb questions. I've looked around the boards here and can't find any mention of it. And I can't find any solid pictures online. I took a lot of pictures of the car before I took it apart, but as luck would have it, not of this. Do the outer seals on the lower A...
