Portion of running board
Front portion of a 1940-1941 pickup running board. I used the back section to repair one. This part is in pretty nice shape. No rust out or damage. Use it to repair a damaged board. 35 plus the ride.

Re: Front leaf spring
I am going to look for an original spring first. I rebuilt my coupe’s front leaf with chamfered edges and grease in between the leaves. It handles great.

Re: Front leaf spring
I do believe this was the optional 12 leaf spring. The car was put together using a donor chassis and axles so I am not shocked it has the wrong spring. I will keep a lookout for an original 10 leaf...

Re: 49 8BA has no power
Everything is good. I tested the vacuum at the carb and at the distributor. It was just very badly out of timing. Owner picked it up and said he can go 60 mph now! lol.

Re: 49 8BA has no power
It was a true farm truck barn find. Came off a farm in Alabama. Perhaps the farmer retarded it for some reason/application? Who knows. The owner came by today and took it for a test spin. He was...

Re: 49 8BA has no power
Update. This morning I checked that the carb was pulling vacuum which it was. Put the timing light on it and I couldn’t believe how far off it was. Can’t believe this thing would start so easily and...

Re: 49 8BA has no power
Interesting. I thought it had both. We’ll see tomorrow if the advance works when I throw my timing light on it.

Re: 49 8BA has no power
Yes the engine has the correct carb on it, the owner sent Charlie an earlier version as he was not aware that the 94 changed at all. I also suspect that the mechanical advance might be seized. I am...

Re: 49 8BA has no power

The owner had some Fenton headers installed and new exhaust. Distributor is original and the fuel pump was the pump that was on it. I am thinking it is distributor not advancing or fuel. The...
