Re: 33-34 Clutch Release Arm Question
Ahhh....I know better than to trust the later versions for 100% accuracy. They do occasionally add to the application list. I already knew about the two versions for 1933-34 but the photo image we...

Re: 54 ford rear yoke
I missed the “rear end” part of his request, so I was mistaken in suggesting we could have the part. We don’t have the rear driveshaft yoke in any case.

Re: 54 ford rear yoke
Assuming it’s for a standard shift car, we have some of them in our NOS parts. They don’t include the universal joint of course, but we also stock those. Part number is B5A-4841 for the slip yoke.

Re: BorgWarner Overdrive Questions
The GL-4 gear oil (non-synthetic) in a 90 wt is what we’ve always recommended for the Borg Warner overdrives. If you are filling up the transmission with it in the car, you’ll have to use the filler...

Re: Starter Drive
The one on our website is definitely USA made. We install them on our new starters and sell them separately.

Re: Media Blasting 40 Body
No advice to give on the tar coating but a little to offer on the blasting of your sheet metal: find someone who can soda blast or use the dry ice blast method. If the operator uses the sand blast...

Re: Early Ford Transmission in Chrome
I was concerned about the bearing bores and the bolt hole threads, but all was good. It didn’t appear that the plating was in the bearing bores, and, in fact, the bearing fit was good. So, we had no...

Re: Info on this truck transmission
If the cluster gear and the sliding gears are good (little to no wear on the teeth and no rust pitting) I’d be interested in them. You’d have to take it apart to verify this so that would be up to...

Also you may have to check the length of the four bolts that secure the gear to the camshaft, making sure one or all four don’t stick out the back side too much. The front block plug is also in this...

Re: Cluster Gear Identification
Appears to be the Canadian version of the regular 28-24-18-14 cluster gear, similar to the 8M-7113 gear. The two prongs on the small end use a thrust washer similar to the 8M-7129 with the bowtie...
