Re: 1934 Radio

Re: Enclosed Transportation inquiry
I used InterCity about 8 years ago. I believe they charged me about $1,500 for a trip from Greenbay, WI to Fishkill, NY. Good company - no complaints from me. They will provide an estimate online if...

Re: WOODGRAIN (real)
I would like to see a pic of some original 33's. Isn't the '33 a little darker than the '34?

Re: 34 Pickup Brake Adjust Screw Frozen
When removing exhaust manifold bolts I heated up the base of the bolt with Map gas and then sprayed the head of the bolt with Freeze-Off from CRC. They all came out without a problem.

Re: 1985 F150 Vacuum Leak
I replaced the carb to spacer gasket with a NOS gasket I found online. Worked great. The vacuum is pretty steady @ 21. I was under the impression that a spacer was just a flat piece of metal about an...

Re: 1985 F150 Vacuum Leak
Thanks for the reply. I found both gaskets. The weird thing is that there is no spacer to be found anywhere. I called my local Ford dealer and he looked at a schematic and couldn't tell even if there...

How are the vendors going to get setup in time? It takes several days for everyone to arrive & unload in advance for opening day?

What year was the pickup truck in the sitcom. Was it a 1951 or 1952? The internet has it listed as either year depending upon what website you visit.
