Front seals

I got my 1940 flathead running following a complete rebuild, and everything has gone right except after about 50 miles the one piece front seal is leaking. When I slow or go to stop it leaves a...

Re: More New Sheetmetal Products for Pickups

I believe that the 37 is the same as 35 and 36 with the battery access exception. The main change was the split windshield. Same under cab support wood, same cab to frame bolts etc. Minor diffference...

Re: Installing firewall insulation pad ‘36 p/u

From the passenger side. Slide the shifter back into 1st gear and have the parking brake on. Is your panel fiberglass, or abs? I know both are available as replacements.

Re: Installing firewall insulation pad ‘36 p/u

It goes in pretty easy, just slide it from the side up over the steering column, then the whole thing goes up to the cowl. I use an awl to line up the pins that hold it on.

Re: New build (not fired), water in cylinder-head gasket backwards?

If the water moved to the other side of the engine when you swapped heads, it eliminates the block as the problem. Not an internal crack. It is a gasket or head problem. Since you swapped heads I...

Head light reflectors

My head light reflectors are really oxidized and dingy, what are you guys doing to rescue the reflectors and make them shine again? One headlight had a broken lens for quite a while.

Re: Surficial anodes in the cooling system (again)!

Re: Wood bed floor conversion 1940

I put Bruce Horkey's bed on my truck and though not completely original it is very nice. I went with the oak bed and stainless steel strips. Looks sharp.

Jeff Beck passes.

Jeff Beck, a British musician has passed away at 78. What I always noted about him was his collection of 32 Fords. Though not stock they were some of the best examples of 32 Fords.

Re: Unique Flathead Jack Parts
