My Dad, John Zumpf (Machineman64) passed away last night.

My 40 pickup has a horn button on the steering column. I got a repop steering wheel for Christmas and would like to make the horn work again. Does anyone have pics or diagrams showing what parts I need to do this? The new wheel came with the center button and spring. I know I need to pull the...

Where is a good place to get rebuilt lever shocks for my 40 pickup? I have am missing a rear one but bot remember what side. The 3 I have need attention. Paul

I have cracks and a poor farmer fix on my rear crossmember (where the rear spring mounts. Does anyone make a replacement or repair parts for this. It is really difficult to reinforce it because adding any material interferes with the spring or ubolts.

I want to replace the lower door seals on my Pickup. The channel on the right side is damaged. How is the channel attached? I'm going to need to remove the channel to repair or replace it. Seems like it would be easier to install the seal with the channel removed anyway. Paul

After getting my old truck running again I had a bit of a tick that sounded like valve train or possible fuel pump. It seemed to go away under load. Keep in mind, I was told when I got this truck that the engine was new so I did not rebuild it. Last night I used a stethoscope and narrowed it...

I've been working on a special truck. My Great Grandfather bought this truck new in 1940. He took my Grandmother to the hospital in it when my Dad was born. Today my Dad's health is fading fast. I started doing a full restoration but feared I was running out of time to give my Dad a ride in it...

For those of us who had the oil filter return to a banjo bolt in the distributor I have a solution to the rotten return line. Down at the distributor I used an 8mm banjo to male -4 JIC adaptor. At the bottom of the filter a 1/8 MNPT to male -4 JIC 90* I used 3/16 hose but 1/4 works as well...

When I got my truck the grill was missing the left side and center sections. I installed a repop grill and hardware kit. There is a countersunk hole in the center section just below the hood release handle. What goes there besides the extra countersunk screw from the hardware kit? I can't seem...

Searching for a hood release handle for a '40 pickup. Thanks Paul

I've been searching for a couple of years for a hood release handle for my 40 pickup. I finally emailed Bob Drake and Dennis Carpenter Reproductions. They said they don't know when of even if they will ever reproduce more. My question now is: Are the pickup and car hoods the same? If all i need...

What direction do the bolts go in on the ends of the running boards?

Ok, you guessed it. I'm having trouble with foaming coolant. Drove about 25 miles Saturday to a nearby town for a little get together and some tacos. Some coolant leaked out looking like shaving cream. Car is a 31 coup.

The car is leaning to the left. How do I get her setting level again? Besides cutting off the ethanol and waiting for her to sober up

I'm working on a '40 pickup rear end. The left side axle has a worn out keyway and is actually broke out at the end. The threads, bearing/seal surfaces and side gear are in good shape. Has anyone had any luck welding up the taper and having it re-cut? Does anyone know where I might find a...
