Over 2 years ago I got sidetracked from my project just as I was getting the motor started. I had fired it off and was getting some white smoke and extra fuel. so I was thinking I had both carb problems and possibly a water leak. Then I had to wrap up the project due to family emergency...

i had bought a pair of spindles with no arms on ebay one had the smaller dia seal journal and one had the standard dia for which i had alreday installed my new seal. I had went ahead and used the left spindle on the right assuming the geometry was centered. It went together fine. however i...

I want to know if I can swap a left front spindle for the right, if the steering arms have been removed. I am using bolt-through bolt-on dropped steering arms. or is there some geometry in the spindle that would prevent this. The reason i am asking is the right spindle that I have has a 1/8"...

yes the have a 38 engine dressed like a 46-48 and it fits perfect but my 38 has rotted out the block sides. then a deal came an a jewel of a running '37 21 stud. I like tghe idea of the 21 stud but the snout on the crank appears shorter by initial inspection. yes it is an old hotrod truck...

The mounts in my frame are flush with the top of the frame. So that is why the question if the middle fan can be used. the generator fan would hit the upper hoses. I would like to use a mechanical fan. I gave the the 46 fan generator distributor etc and wanted to know if anyone has successfully...

I hope you can help me. I have a nice running 1937 21 stud motor I want to run in my 1934 pickup. The engine sets about 4"r higher then stock so I want to run the middle fan like the 1946-1948 style fan. It looks like the front stub of the 37 crankshaft is much shorter than the 1946. Is there...

Can I use the 46-48 fan/ generator /manifold with a crab distributor on my 1937 21 stud? I have the 2 bolt front cover and the the spacer for the long cam snout. what about the long 2 groove 46-48 crank pulley will that work on a 37 crank some way? and my 34 pickup is setup for the 46-48...

Does anyone know of a non-weld on coupling (u-joint), to couple two 3/4" shafts end to end, that will fit inside steering tube? I dont really want the u-joint to show. I think i will need the little angular misalignment leeway allowed by the u-joint. I have an f-1 shaft and wheel that almost...

Thanks I wont worry then

Does the 1934 ford pickup dash require a dash tunnel behind it?

the tube i have is too large. I think it was an F100 steering column tube. what years of old Ford Tubes will fit a 1932 ford drop. appreciate any recommendments. Thanks

the steering box holes are in the right rail just like in Ted's photo of the Canadian frame ( but no numbers there). My frame and cab has been floating around Calif for years apparently without becoming an actual truck. there are many names on the paper trail. the front of the frame had been...

I havent found any serial numbers on the frame yet. I did notice that the passenger side frame rail has the steering box holes. none on the drivers (left) side;does that mean anything? I looked along the drivers side rail very closely at the spots where it should be, even sanded it down...
