Re: 37 coupe RTS T-170 swap!

Very true on scarcity of gears. I was able to find decent rebuild kits with bearing, seals, syncro rings etc I did look 6or 7 months for a better ( not new) 4th gear.

Re: Ultra Sonic Cleaner

I have used cartridge brass cleaner and water mixed about the same dilution as cleaning brass. I'm going to try Simple Green as it might be faster.

Re: radiator fan 40/41 pickup ID

That looks like a good alternative @19Fordy. I need to get the cab in place so I can see what needs to move. I may get there by spring .

Re: radiator fan 40/41 pickup ID

I have the sheilds and I'll use them when I get to final assembly. I have a lot of body work to go yet. I am using the chassis for a "run stand"and a place to store the the engine and transmission.

Re: radiator fan 40/41 pickup ID

Thanks to everyone who commented. I should have looked at the fan closer before installing it. I probably needed to trim the hoses anyway. New hoses are on the way and I picked up antifreeze today...

Re: radiator fan 40/41 pickup ID

Re: F100 brake conversion. use F100 hubs or 37-48 hubs

How new F100 hubs will work? Can I move the shoulder for the inner bearing back by machining the spindle to use the 37-48 hubs?

i want both parts of the 2 piece oil pan for a 59 AB engine . I believe it was a truck only. It allowed the clutch and flywheel to be changed with out removing the oil pan.
