Re: Spindle Wear
Thanks gents, I'm used to more modern stuff (40's - 60's) where a spindle like this would predict certain disaster. The edges near the inside of the spindle are very sharp, not something I would...

Re: Fuel pump oddity
I'm afraid to try that solution on mine, because if for some reason the rod really is too long or something is out of whack, I can't imagine what would happen when the rod came up under load! I...

Re: Fuel pump oddity
Thanks guys, first please note that in the photo above the pump is sitting flush because the camshaft lobe is down. When up, the fuel pump comes WAY up, probably 1/2". I just didn't take a photo of...

Fuel pump oddity
When mounting the fuel pump to my 8CM, the rod seems to be about 1/2" too long because when the cam is as full rise, the pump sits about 1/4'1/2" off the intake manifold. The rod is seated in the...

Re: 1925 Pickup Bed Dimensions
Thanks, that's great info. I guess the only thing I'm not clear on is why the bed is mounted so far forward on mine. I thought the touring body was longer than the pickup body. Not so?

Re: 1925 Pickup Bed Dimensions
Here's the best shot of the side that I could find. I've lightened up the truck in the photo so you can see it better.

Re: 1925 Pickup Bed Dimensions
Yeah, it does appear to be a touring body. I've been told that the factory offered them this way. Is that incorrect? Would having the touring front body mean the bed sits farther forward or back...

Re: 1925 Pickup Bed Dimensions
Thanks, I didn't know there was a metal bed for '25. The previous owner installed this '26 bed which appears to be the same one in your ad above.
