1934 Ford 1/2 Ton
 

Hey there! I just joined this forum. I need help finding some parts for my '34 Ford truck. I just bought this girl and am new to the process. I am finding very difficult to find OLD, USED, pieces that will blend in with the truck. I have no plans to 'restore' her. I do plan to clear coat the original patina. The 59AB runs well. I need the following insofar as I know right now. Any help sourcing these would be greatly appreciated.

driver's side mirror....just the mirror, not the arm.
interior door handle
gas gauge
door glass, both sides
cab wood
radiator cap
banjo steering wheel (Can I use a thirties column if the current column and steering box is late 50's?)

Thanks!

OH, my apologies! I'll repost it over there!

The "wanted" is the best place to post what you need but welcome and how about a coupe of pictures? You should add your general location to your profile, you can never tell when that information might be useful. Be sure to post questions here as people cannot respond to questions in the classified section.

For your cab wood you need to check with some of the V-8 parts vendors who advertise in publications like the V-8 Times, etc. if you are not an Early Ford V-8 Club member you should join as the V-8 times magazine is worth the price of the dues. Also go to the V-8 Club website and post a want ad there for your parts(www.earlyfordv8.org).
In regards to your question on the banjo steering wheel it will not work with the later column. You need to use the '39 or earlier column or have your local muffler shop make a column mast jacket for you that replicates the '39 or earlier column with the flare at the top. You will also need to use the '48 or earlier steering shaft with the taper and keyway for the banjo.
