Hi all! I am in need of a complete driver's door for a 64 Fairlane hardtop (no post). I mostly need the interior guts for a 63, 64, or 65, but a complete door for a 64 (or 63) would be great. George Warren, 757-334-0841 Thanks!

Will be at Spring Auto Fair in Charlotte, in April. Will bring several items, in addition to planned stuff, if anyone is interested, such as 39 brake, clutch assembly, rough 39 Deluxe hood, curved door glass for 68&69 Ranchero, and same for 70&71 Ranchero, as well as back glass for 70&71...

I had a 53 F-100 that had been sitting for years, and had no compression at all, all valves were stuck. Pored deisel and atf in carb till ran out of spark plug holes, then put plugs back in, and filled up carb with same till full, let sit for a few days. Then removed plugs, and pulled around the...

New, in the box MII front suspension, from Southern Rods. Power rack, dropped spindles. Paid $1,250 plus shipping, yours for $1,000; must be picked up, or can deliver to Charlotte Auto Fair in April. George, 757-334-0841

Just tore down (after MUCH work!) a "59" flathead. Its been a long time since I messed with flatheads, but all the 39-48 V8s I had, had full floating rod bearings; this one has inserts, like the 49-53s I had. When did Ford switch to inserts for the rods? Back in the day, the local racers...

From 1964 Galaxie (5 bolt bellhousing), 126,000 miles, pulled from running car in 1978, stored inside ever since, both should be good base for rebuild. Must be picked up, or can deliver to Charlotte Auto Fair in April. George, 757-334-0841. Thanks!

I have had sucess dismantling throw away power window motors by gringing the rivets out and lubing the bearings with white grease. I drilled smal holes in the side of the case, held the brushes back with fishing line, reassembled the case, added new rivets, and cut and pulled the fishing line...

That's a 39; would look good on a rat rod, as is!

Are they 38 or 39? There is a difference

Thanks!

I connected the LED third brake light to the brake light switch, works fine. LED lights dont't draw enough amps to activate a regular flasher; a special LED flasher must be used if you want to have turn signals. With the correct flasher, simply splice the appropriate wire to each turn signal...

Thanks, guys, but is it 1 inch or 1 and a half?

I am working on a 56 F-100, and have the front clip off. I would like to center the front wheels in the fender opening, but need to know how far to move the axle forward. Can anybody tell the exact amount to move it? Thanks!

Ditto on the barsleak; that stuff is amazing!

Did the same thing many years ago, (hammer welded)and the hood matched the 51 grille perfectly; maybe the car in the picture was the result of shrinkage from the welding (or maybe I just remember it wrong, after all, this was 50+ years ago!)

Solid body, 35,000 miles on 350/350, 4 bolt main. 9 inch rear, F-100 brakes, power steering, Vintage Air, etc. Can e-mail pics if interested.

My kid is 30, went to Lincoln Tech, was youngest ASE Master autotech in VA at one time; he most definately was taught about carbs! He also is not the least bit afraid of FI, can make up his own system out of various auto makers parts. How many of us (non professionals) can do that?

I had duals with "Turbo" mufflers installed on my 64 Fairlane by a local shop, around 1980 or so. Still sounds great and no leaks so far!

On my 40 pickup, I used a marine universal electric self parking wiper assembly on the drivers side (very easy to adapt, using a stock outer shaft bezel), and drilled a hole on the pasenger side, and mounted the stock vacuum wiper there, no problems with the glove box. Good luck!
