Re: Steering box light switch
I’m not finding any other light switch bails that are any different than the 78-3647 bail from Drake I am already using. I guess it’s possible the Drake version is off just enough so I either modify...

Re: Steering box light switch
I am using the 78-3647 bail. It retains the light switch just fine, it just does not settle into the dimples as shown in my post #13. I also have the correct light switch bracket for ‘37-‘39. Maybe I...

Re: Steering box light switch
Hi Lawson. I read thru your posts when you were messing around with your bail. This is the Drake bail, part # 78-3647. It claims it’s for 37-39 pass and 38-39 p/u. Any idea what the correct bail...

Re: Steering box light switch
Well I’ve found all the pieces to use the steering box mounted light switch on my 1940 steering box I’m putting in my ‘36 pickup. However, I think I am having issues with the Drake bail. I tweaked it...

Re: 1940 Brake Drums
I believe the drums in the first picture are original Ford, but I will pull one off this weekend and see if I can locate a part number. Thank you for your input.

Re: pickup bed - assembled or disassembled
Mack Hils overcharges on their shipping, or at least in my experience they tried to. She got irritated when I asked why the shipping quote is so high. They wanted over $1000 for shipping and crating...

Re: 1935 - 1936 Pickup Taillight Brackets
I have two different types of taillight brackets. My stake pockets show no sign of the style in the second picture ever being attached. Where does the other cast style mount under the bed?
