Well even as I was typing the original post something was nagging at me about the steering wheel. So after paying more attention I looked and sure enough 30/31 did have a splined steering wheel and that was my problem. Wrong steering wheel/horn rod combination. So I wanted a new steering wheel...

I am getting my steering column ready to install in a truck I am restoring. I have a rebuilt steering box I bought off ebay quite some time ago. I purchased a new horn rod for this steering box. The box is a 7 tooth so I got the horn rod which measures 45 3/4 from one of the major suppliers...

thanks for double checking. I appreciate your guys input

Thank you

I was looking on Snyders for a new throw out bearing for my Model AA truck with a 4 speed. Their listing specifically said would not fir a AA with 4 speed. So I looked on a few outer sites such as Mikes, Macs, and Brattons and they don't say anything about theirs not fitting a AA with 4 speed. I...

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it

Is it possible to change a oil pan out to a newer pan? I have a 1928 oil pan with the bottom clean out and it is in rough shape. I want to install a oil pan from a 1930 engine. Everything looks as if it will fit ok but just in case I am missing seeing something I thought I would ask. Thank you

Time to complete my restoration on my 1929 closed cab truck. I already decided the bed and fenders are not worth saving and recenty got the cab media blasted and epoxy primed. So the real story of the cab comes to light and Irealize it is probably not worth saving. So does anyone have a complete...

Thank you all for your guidance. Joe

I am currently restoring a 29 closed cab truck. What is the best manual or book to get that shows the attention to detail items such as correct bolt/nut orientation, wire harness routing, clamp and hold downs needed and where? I want to make it as authentic as possible and there were many items...

Thank you for the quick response. Makes sense to me now. Joe

I am rewiring my 28 model A Tudor. It is a single bulb headlight system. I purchased a wire harness from Snyder's so it is color coded correctly. My issue is the wires coming out of the headlights are not color coded. Someone just used red and yellow wire on the headlights. I assume both bulb...

Good idea Thank you.

I might not of been completely clear on my issue. Yes the light switch does rotate but only because the lower bearing assembly ( as listed in Snyders catalog) portion where the switch seats is rotating. It is the very bottom part of the lower bearing assembly. Round with the notch for the switch...

I have a 1928 tudor. I am replacing the lighting wire harness and switch at the bottom of the steering column. The problem I am having is the very bottom of the steering box where the light switch fits into to mate up with the spider from the light/horn rod turns and causes the switch assembly...

Does anyone know of anybody in the central Illinois area thta pours new rod and main babbit for the Model A?

Is there a standard value the bolts should stick through the bell housing for the front radius rod attachment point. I replaced the ball on the radius rod and new seats and bolts. The book said to fit the ball in the socket and install sleeves and springs. Tighten nuts until they just touch...

We did not weld the rivit holes and redrill . I was afraid of doing exactly what you figured we did so I am confident the crossmember is in the correct spot. I did look at some pictures of a front crossmember last night and the ones you posted were some that I looked at. Don't remember where I...

Restoring a 29 pickup and replaced the front cross member. The front engine mount hole was beat up pretty bad so we welded it closed and re drilled it. It was worn bad enough that we really couldn't take any measurements to determine where its exact location needed to be. So with out best guess...
