I had these machined out of aluminum. They are a functional replacement, just not judging points correct.

I have used Ford drums and 41 Lincoln backing plates, as well as the 41 Lincoln drums/backing plates, but the latter was on 32-34 spindles. I did try the 41 Lincoln drums on 40 spindles with Ford backing plates and had the same spacing issue. Tyrell Pennington @tradrod1930 on IG went through...

I placed an order on line April 20th. Victor called last week to let me know they were building the headers. Hopefully I will see them soon. I know to expect a month or so lead time, but have always received a good product. They make a header that will clear Nash and Hudson steering boxes in...

I found this on the interwebs... "Blocked Letterman paintings were produced using a process similiar to silkscreening. They were supplied to retailers in the US like JCPenney and Sears by countries in the far east. The Letterman "signature" indicates the art was created by professional artists...

Sorry to hear this and thank you for the link to the obituary. You father lead a very full life.

I am working on a 32 5w and have some questions on door hardware What goes in the single screw hole below the dove tail? And what are the button heads/rivets along the front edge of the doors for?

I have used 3.54's in 3 different 32's, all with 16/28 gears and later flatheads ranging from 239 up to 276 cu in. I have a 36LB 221 in my 32 sedan and recently changed from 4.11's to 3.78's, still with an original 32 trans with 16/28 combo and 7.50-16 rear tires. I am very happy with the in...

I have my trusty vintage Craftsman wrenches at the ready when I'm working on old Fords

Hmmm, the last time I used Sherm's they delivered before the promised date and less than quoted price. I was very happy with their work and plan to send them more. I have had friends use Advanced and their work is very, very nice. Here is a 32 steering box that I rebuilt that was plated by...

Ok, good information. Thanks!

Are there two different length square shanks on the handles? Is the longer one pictured above rumble seat? I have a trunk car and my original handle has a very short shank compared to the example above

That's a 32-34 spindle, so no seal in the hub, just the tin grease shield on the spindle. I'd recommend getting one of these bearing packers https://www.summitracing.com/parts/lil-34550?seid=srese1&ppckw=pmax-tools&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjZ6wj-7djQMVgwitBh2xhzXsEAQYBiABEgIKf_D_BwE You just fill...

Didn't Johnny Cash have a song about that car... The set of 5 Lyons 16" hubcaps are worth half the asking price, or more.

The shocks are mounted inboard because the frame was Z-d, eliminating the stock mounting location The rear end is an early 32, as noted by the round torque tube flange as well as the dog legged radius rods.

Where on the Central Coast are you located? I am in Atascadero and can press in new bushings and hone the new king pins to fit using a Sunnen pin hone. I've probably done over 100 pairs of early Ford spindles, so something I can knock out pretty quickly. I agree with everyone else. Re-use...

The 48 Ford rear shock mounts would need to be modified to work on a 32-34 rear end, as the axle flanges are rotated slightly compared to a 35-48 axle bell. As far as lever shocks, I have run original Ford shocks and not been real happy, but I tried the new replacements from Rotoshim on my 32...

It looks as though the bolt pattern has been changed from the original 5 on 5-1/2 to a smaller pattern, possibly GM 5 on 4-3/4" (based on the rally wheels). This will make swapping drums out a little more difficult. A competent machinist/fabricator could re-drill the smaller pattern on a...
