I had my gas tank cleaned and sealed, so I was told. I know nothing of this process. Hooked everything up and the carb would start with what gas was in the bowl then die. I disconnected the line from the carb and plenty of fuel was coming from the electric fuel pump, but the gas that came out...

I have a 1942 Ford Pickup with timkin? Rear with 6.67 gears Looking for complete rear with 5.14 or lower number gears or a 5.14 ring and piñon gear set Picture is what I have now

Thanks for all your replies, I’m good now

Thanks I googled it and it gave me a full chart of all the lights etc. that I need Very helpful, thank you

As per rotor wrench said the longer the distance the more resistance so I figured 12 would be best to cover the 9 ft distance

Thanks for your help, I’m starting with the tail lights, which obviously will be the longest wires, from your replies I should be good with 12 gauge, correct?

I’m starting to re-wire my ‘42 ford truck. I normally use 16 gauge wire on my 12 volt trucks. Is it ok to use 16 on a 6 volt system? Thanks

Yes I was just over there and found many threads Thx

I saw a guy on another website that used CLR on his car which had surface rust. He used it and the pictures looked good. He did not give a good description how he applied it. I has hoping maybe to see if anyone on here may have had some experience with it

Thanks for the reply's, there does not seem to be to many CLR fans.

My Truck cab has some areas with decent paint, some areas with surface rust and some down to bare metal. Im looking to try and protect the finishes at the state their in, except the surface rust which I want to clean up . I like the clear look over patina but I would rather not clear coat it. I...

I was not looking for a "cheering section" or anyones opinion on my build. I was only looking for ideas on a synchronized 4spd that would work good with a flathead as I have no experience with flatheads. I really don't care what anyone thinks is the right way to build MY truck. When I built my...

There is an easy answer to that, if most of "you" would not consider doing something then don't reply to the post

With that type of logic, you must hate every chopped 32 Ford, any car turned into a gasser, hot rod etc..

Let me know when you find logic in spending thousands of dollars to rebuild 50 year old vehicles when you could buy a brand new car/truck ? Its a passion for most of us . Even though I am not into air bagged lowered cars I do respect that might be a passion for other people and I respect their...

I appreciate everyone's input. Seems no one gets what im looking to do or just does not agree with it. Which is fine. So ill just end this conversation with a thank you for your ideas. This is going to be a winter project hopefully ill have some pictures of the finished truck in the spring

I Really like the stance of this truck, the M-H leafs give lift a stock truck does not have. Im not going to use it as an all wheel drive. The cab and frame are in very good shape, basically just surface rust. You cannot find a truck like this in my area. I got the engine running really good...

From what ive read the nv4500 seems like a pretty involved conversion. Maybe im missing the advantage of the nv4500, is it better then The t-98? Or t5? Minimally id like to start with a synchronized 4spd but even finding that seems like a lot of guess work. This being my first flathead I did...

Thanks to all who took the time to reply, Unfortunetly I still don't have an answer, like " yes a t98 from ? Year will bolt up to a 1942 ford flathead 8cyl bellhouse" I guess its not that easy

Sort of I guess, sorry. This is more trying to find out if there is a direct bolt on 4spd transmission to the flathead bellhouse that is synchronized, I am trying to find the best way to get my truck to be able to drive a reasonable speed, over 30 mph. I would like to hear from different guys...
