Charlie, where are you buying the American Classic tires. ? I need a set of wide white radials 215/75/R15 for my 49 Ford F-1. Thanks

I’m going Friday with grandson Red Pond 2. I will be leaving my 3 at home though and riding modern with him.

Well I am Grandpa to Redpond2. I am a preservationist, Owner of Fords from T to Pinto, and a 61 year Model A owner. I was so pleased with his interest in this truck, and in its preservation. It is truly a rare find. I am also pleased with your interest and support in his project. Believe...

I filled a few cracks with epoxy then painted with PPG single stage Concept urethane. It has held up well for more than 15 years

I finally bought a Greg Smith 4 post lift 2 years ago. it’s wonderful. I’m sorry I waited so long. I wanted a drive on lift to accommodate Model A and Ts and other vehicles that require getting on floor to arrange lifting arms. I am also able to store a car above and still drive under. I...

I'll join the 6 boosters. Mine has a 6, on purchase I planned to swap to a 239. I decided to drive it and see. The 6 is great. Doesn't crack, overheat or vapor lock, and always starts. I have had no carb troubles at all. I've had it 25 years. Totally dependable. I did use Charlie Schwendler for...

I have a nice 39 truck 3 speed I'd sell, $250. Bowling Green KY.

Remember there is a difference between 48-49 and 50 beds and rear fenders

I think the 6 has a different starter gear as well

Wow! That is a real pretty transmission! To clarify: I am testing this unit with the overdrive lever in the lockout position, no solenoid attached, shifting cover off, and out of car. I made a tool to pull the balk ring out and I believe it is in position where I could attach the solenoid...

I'm using a cluster gear with a small chip in low as a temporary transmission (that has been 10 years in use. It functions normally but sometimes shifting across it you can feel the tic as the slider jumps across the little gap. It's lightly used maybe about 3000 miles but it's working just...

For years I have been accumulating parts to change my stock 49 Mercury to overdrive. The completed unit is assembled but with cover off it turns freely in neutral but will only shift into second. When shifting to high, low or reverse it will only turn a few degrees. The 28 tooth cluster...

Deluxe models had 16" wheels, 1 sunvisor, no courtesy interior lights, 1 interior light on pull switch on dash, no chrome trim on ends of dash, rubber floor mats, no armrests, black rubber trim around windshield and back glass, and fixed rear vent glass windows.. In other words, plain. There...

I think the Mercury switch has a position for accessory and the truck switch does not.

Here's my classy Mom with her brand new 1934 Ford. That was when a new car was something to be proud of. Second picture is the same Ford in an Iowa blizzard 2-21-1937. I'll bet it started and Pop drove it to work that day.

Good advice rotorwrench. Thanks.

9=1949 or 50 H=6 cylinder 226 C=half ton I had a 4.27 in mine. Got lucky and found a 3.73?from a 56 automatic F-100. Seems to be just right.

I'm about to convert my stock 49 Mercury to overdrive. The clutch is relatively new, maybe 3,000 miles, and works well, but has slight chatter I think due to my failure to surface the flywheel. While I have ****** out should I replace the whole clutch assembly or can I save it by doing the...

On my 49 Mercury I run a 6 volt electric pump just forward of the tank for priming the carburetor. Car takes extended cranking after sitting a week without the pump. It is on a toggle switch that I turn on for 20 seconds or so before using starter. Then I switch it off. Has worked great for 15...
