Re: 1947 Rear Axle Worn Down
You might be lucky and just need one axle and hub. Probably the outer bearing. Surely a gasket/shim set. And if you are unlucky, more bearings and maybe a housing on that side.

Re: 32 b frame for v8
Wasn’t there some early production that didn’t have chatter rod mount holes for the V8?

Re: Pate Swap Meet Flathead Speed Equipment
My product was a dash panel that he bought and then cast his own copies from. None of these flathead parts. But, maybe I should just find some of these flatty parts and cast my own from them? ...

Re: Narrow V8 Rear Axle
He has about a dozen threads spread over the Fordbarn and the HAMB asking how to solve this “problem”, but refuses to post a pic to show how bad it really is. I can’t fathom how guys have been...

Re: Narrow V8 Rear Axle
Are you aware you can’t fit old Ford wires to modern brakes without a thick adapter? The wheel has an outer mounting flange that hits the drum of a modern brake. That’s why we use the 40-48 year...

Re: 1932 Ford Three Window Body Tag
There was a thread with a “registry” of 32 3-windows body numbers. I can’t remember if it was here or on the HAMB. Had a surprising number of bodies submitted.

Re: Leaking Head Studs
Many references to guys retapping the stud holes to “clean” them when rebuilding engines. But the holes are built with a tighter tolerance than the taps used, and are as such opened up too much. A...

Re: Waterpumps with smooth pulleys
Don’t confuse the 59A stuff with the 8BA stuff (you say “up to 50”). Big changes in 1949, and more variety of pulley, castings, and belts.

Re: rear drum studs
You mean a drum/hub assembly, not a reproduction drum, right? And, the studs you found were the same length as original, not something a parts book jockey handed to you, right?

Rumbleseat trick of regreasing a throwout bearing?

Re: 42 Ford Sedan Radius Rod
The front tires look rather big. Maybe they are causing the darting. Extra scrub. Double-check your toe in too.
