Re: Model B engine in an A
The Model A has a smaller rear main bearing which means you need to enlarge the pan for the larger bearing. The B rods will hit the sides of an A pan. You need to dimple the pan. I have heard that...

Re: Wire wheel balancing

Re: Narrow bed or wide bed
If you have the fenders you can tell which came with the truck from the factory. If you don't have the fenders for a wide bed they are almost impossible to find. If I needed a truck to use I would...

Re: Engine paint

Re: Synchronized Transmission
Everyone assumes you have a pickup truck based on the passenger vehicle chassis when talking about the Mitchell. You don't by any chance have a large truck, AA?
Also, put your general location in...

Re: Need Cylinder Head
Be sure to contact your local club as shipping probably will be more than the price of the head. Good aftermarket high compression heads have destroyed the value of original heads.

Re: Find out more about my '37 fordor
The fact that the VIN is visible through the windshield on modern cars says there is probably no need to hide it. If you are concerned used "XX" for the last numbers. The VIN will give you some...
