Re: Back end of a T-5
The '93 T5 from an S10 will use a electronic speedometer. If you don't need one on the island its no big deal and you could always use the GPS on your cell phone.

Re: 40 Pickup Bed floor kit
If the existing wood is sound why not just refinish it or maybe flip it over? That said you can't do any better than Bruce Horkey. He's been doing truck beds for a long time.

Re: Speedometer for 46 Ford Car
I agree! Not familiar with your exact speedo but you would have to remove the SS trim to get the glass off hopefully without breaking anything. Then you would have to pull the needle off before you...

Re: 35/36 Pickup Seat Base
Here is a sketch for the plywood seat bottom that was original to my 1938 pickup. Maybe someone could compare it to their earlier model to see if they are the same.

Re: Fender stuff - '35 pickup
I believe its just "body to frame webbing". It comes in different widths. You should be able to buy it from any of the old Ford parts dealers.

Re: '38 Pickup Hood Hinges
Check eBay for 1938 or 1939 Ford pickup hinges. The car hinges are not the same. When you see the prices you will want to look again for the old ones.
