I have several flathead heat sending units and would like to identify them for the years they originated. Any Barners know of a list that shows the matching numbers? Thanks.

40 vs 41 PU interior handles
I'm using 41 doors on the 40PU that I'm building. I notice that the books call for 41-47 interior door handles/cranks. Anyone know the difference from the original 40 PU? Thanks.

Re: Replacement 6V horn
Factory designers didn't put the dual horns in as a focal point. Rather than detract, they added their small beauty as a final touch. A beautiful blue hardtop body is the focal point. The classic red...
