Turns out that Roy Nacewicz has them. I was just looking in the wrong place. We move forward.

Thank you 19fordy and rotorwrench. That does look like them. It appears that once the nut is inserted, some flaring tool is used to capture the nut in place. I saw the pictures on google after your link, and did find Snyder and the Model A stuff. I emailed Roy with pictures so I hope for the...

Hi all, It has been a while since I was here or working on my 34 pickup. Health issues behind me, and moving forward. I am replacing the sheet metal channel that runs across the bed under the tail gate. It is riveted in place for the most part, but has some interesting fasteners in three places...

Thanks 4port. Did you use a triangle file to shape the square hole? Or did you find a better way? Al K.

Carriage bolts to look near original?

Continuing this question, I attached a photo with my questions. How would you install the rivets?

Hi, I am replacing the end rail on my 34 pickup. I have drilled out the rivets and removed the rail. Looking at the tight areas like inside the stake pocket, how does one put the rivets back? There is at best 2" clearance inside the pocket. I can't see how a bucking bar or other instrument could...

Thanks Coop.

Hi, I've been away for awhile. Med problems, but back at it again. My question deals with the length of the bars in a four bar front suspension system. As I purchased the truck years ago it had a dropped tube axle and the four bar was in place. It has 24" long bars. When I was reading Pete and...

On the same topic. With the rear of the T5 supported on a fabricated cross member, and the engine supported off the water pumps, is there any other support needed? I am a little concerned about the weight being supported by the aluminum ******. Is there any cause for concern or should I move...

I bought mine for @250. It has a 59A engine. Runs 4 cyls and pumps 2 cycle air from the others. Special heads with valves for the compressor. My avatar is my compressor. Al K.

Harbor Freight, $6-10.

Mart, I like your avatar. Al K.

I believe you will find that the 34 rear spring has both the usual bow as well as an arc to mount it not directly over the axel mounts. Al K.

Hi, Which town did you find this engine in? I am in that area and would love to dig it up. Thanks, Al K.

That caught my eye also. I'm glad you had the guts to ask the question. Al K.

Thanks for the tips. Will search for them. Thanks for the screw info. Not having the emblem yet made it difficult to picture why the hole was there. Al K.

Thank you for all the replies and corrections, wink. I would assume then that the hole that I am concerned about has some sort of fastening device in it to secure the emblem. Can someone provide a sketch or measurements for the upper bracket? Thanks, Al K

Hi, Actually two questions, first, Is the small hole in the top of the shroud right below the radiator fill hole supposed to be round or some other shape. See the picture. Second, are all four radiator to shroud brackets identical. I only have one but can make more if they are the same. Thanks...

I have heard that if you put the Stainless bearings under the king pins it will improve. Stainless is in the name of the company, and others here will chime in with their correct name. Al K.
