From under the seat of the derelict 39 pickup......Some kind of thermostat, and a gear driven generator (someone really handy soldered a drive plate on the gear).

The thermostat is original to your truck. Check in the 28 to 28 hardware parts catalogue to identify the window and door mechanisms.

The generator is a model T , it could have been modified for most anything --wind generator??---

Scroll door handles are Model A, internal winders probably A too.

Thanks for the replies. The original owner must have been a "collector". There were also "spark intensifiers" and other hit and miss engine stuff under the seat.

Ford38v8 - I've been able to ID stuff from the "green bible" but don't have the "28 to 28 hardware parts catalogue" for body-type stuff. Where might I find that"? Think it's really 28 to 48?

Thanks, Gordon
