I happen to have an original Salesman Handbook with notes from the Salesman.

I have attached some pictures of an extremely crude tooling I put together to remove the bearing pack. I used a jackscrew and plate from a 3 leg pulley puller to act as a press. Good Luck, Norm

Prof Henry, Thank you very much for your attempt to recognize the Veterans on this site. As it appears, most of the Veterans served when our society had little regard for those who served. The locale of my duty locations loathed those in military uniform as well. Today, our country as a whole...

USAF 1981-1989 Aircraft Maintenance Technician/CrewChief on RF-4C, F-16C and F117A. My Thanks to All who Served, Past Present and Future.

Just got my Signed copy, looking forward to reading it! Thanks Joe! Norm

New bearing and races today are not an exact replacement, a couple of thousandths different in measurements. Therefore you will have a thicker requirement for the shims at the bells. Once you have the correct total shim thickness requirement, you split that between left hand and right hand side...

See how much fun it is to be behind the wheel of a Flathead! My youngest granddaughter.

Finally got mine on the truck. Thanks Vic for your efforts to make this Hobby Fun! Norm

Great News! Wishing you Lawson a speedy recovery! Thanks for the update Marcus

I came across this the other day. I have had good results with this vendor, Third Gen Automotive. Not sure if this is the year you was looking for. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-original-style-1935-1936-Ford-temperature-gauge-M2-/281572087286

Check is in the mail for 4 more! This will be a nice addition to our Flatheads! Thanks Vic Norm

I have a 1936 Pickup with what I believe are the original size wheels, 4X16. I am not too concerned about maintaining a “Concourse” look, just a decent appearance. So here is my question: What size tires can I safely run on these wheels? Thanks, Norm

Awesome.:D True Craftsmanship!!!;)

Brendan, you have a nice truck. I like the patina. Yes, I still have the mechanical brakes. I have installed Flathead Ted's floaters. I'm still needing to finish the adjustments on those. Norm

I finished up the rear end rebuild. The rear end is re-installed. I'm working on the truck a little at a time when the time is available.

When I rebuilt my Banjo, I used Timken bearings. I did not measure these before installation assuming that they would be the exact height as original, but I would have to say they where not. Recalling from memory, my total stack of shims was around .030 to .032, which was greater than factory...

You will need to press out the pinion gear and bearings with the outer race as a package. I made a press out of scrap metal I had.

Here is my story with my 36 Pickup. This is my entry into the Early Ford hobby. Happy, Happy, Happy!!! I purchased this truck 2 years ago with the intentions of it being a driving “mild” restoration. Restore while enjoying it. I'm not looking for a show car, but a driver. It did not take long...

I know that most if not all of you recommend the taper of the axle to be clean of any material prior to installing the brake drums, but I have a question concerning the use of an Anti-Gallant material applied to the taper. Does anybody have any experience using an Anti-Gallant on the taper? At...
