    Rochester 2G for mostly stock ‘40 pickup

    Rochester 2G for mostly stock ‘40 pickup I’m putting a Merc intake and Rochester 2G or 2GC or 2GV carb on my pickup’s C69A motor. Do I have to fab my own throttle, choke and accel linkages or has someone already come up with a solution I can beg, steal, borrow or even pay for?

    1940 Ford Pickup Interior Trim

    I'm looking for the trim that hides the edges of the headliner and kick panels. Does any one know of a source? I am restoring to original so custom-hot rod interior bits probably won't work.
