Re: Tire size for 1940 Standard V8
Looks good, I’m having a hard time finding the 600r16 tube size. Anyone know where I can find them and what I need for a valve stem type? Forgive me, I’m used to tubeless radial.....

Re: Tire size for 1940 Standard V8
Looks most likely that I will be running a bias ply unless I skipped over the right looking bias ply look alike on Coker’s website.
Id really prefer a radial but I want it to look correct

Re: 1940 Ford Family Owned Coupe
Ok inventoried my stuff, looks like I have two last generation flat heads, and another post WWII engine. I pretty sure the 50s engine is the last running engine that was in the car. I have a rear end...

Re: 1940 Ford Family Owned Coupe
It’s hard to tell without some digging into it, he had parted out several flathead cars back then and kept the drivelines. It could potentially be a mix match of parts

Re: 1940 Ford Family Owned Coupe
I’d be curious because it looks like it has red oxide primer under it. My dad rode along for the paint job which was a long trip from where I live to Pittsburgh at the time. Lower quarters were...

Re: 1940 Ford Family Owned Coupe
These parts are what I need. I might be able to find some of the linkage. After my grandpa passed it’s a guess to where the parts are. I found a roof antenna assembly not belonging to the car....the...

1940 Ford Family Owned Coupe
Well I would go radial, my roads are kind of bad. I’d definitely want a white wall of some sort, the cars original color is Lyon blue.
Two tail lights an option?
