Re: 36 V8 Pickup Radiator?
I bought a really, really solid nice one about 10 years ago at a farm sale, for 20 bucks. I figured the scrap value was that.
Glad I did:)

Re: Radial Or Bias Ply Tires
For me , personally. the way I use a Model A Ford, radials don't justify the extra cost.
I average MAYBE 200-300 miles of driving, a year, in a good year.

Hard to beat the 'look' of Diamond Tread Goodyears, but most people would never pay...

Re: MARC National meets
I see where Mr. Grow valued his Model A Ford at $4,000!
