Re: Over Drive Transmission bushing
The tool shown may or may not be successful in removing the bushing from the tail housing (which is still attached to the transmission). We always have the housing off when taking the bushing out,...

Re: Anyone have one they can measure?

Re: steering box
I believe that Ford sold the worm and shaft as one item. We have the worm available by itself and, in some cases, we have the worm and shaft as well. There was a change of some sort in the 1956 Ford...

Re: 47 Tonner pickup Tranny 4speed
Sometimes I feel like a broken record on this issue. Please don’t use a hardened pin or drill stock for this part. You want the cheapest and easiest to replace part to be the pin……not the shifter...

Re: NEW products available thread
We didn’t have a large quantity made for the first time….. wanted to see how they fit and get an idea of what the demand would be before we have more made. I’m very happy with the fit.

Use 32-47 flywheels on 32-47 engines. Use 49-53 flywheels on 49-53 engines. Don’t mix the two styles as the starter ring gear offset is different.
