The Ford Barn

Made the deal today and get it delivered tomorrow.

Plans are to make it safe and on the road for this summer...then see over the next winter what I want to do for changes.

It's about 99.9% original 33,000 mile pickup that needs some TLC.
It has sat for a lot of years.

OK Ron, for us youngster newbies, what does a Hall DOHC look like? I googled to no luck. Is that Hall-scott?

If your engine runs, jack up the rear and put stands under the rear. Start the engine and apply the gas and the brakes alternately. This should break the clutch loose also.

The Hal head was the one to have in the early dirt track days of sprint car racing .They where known as the big cars. A friend of my parents ran a Hal in a Model B powered sprint car In Victoria B.C. Last run in 1958 the first season the track was paved.Western Speedway was a 3/8 mile ovel, and Ken said he would turn 115 MPH down the straights and around 90 through the turns. Ken said the B engine was pushing around 250 HP with 12:1 pistons. One race in 58 some of the cars came up from Wash. and Oregon state. The last two races are divided into large fields of cars the A main and the B main The B main the slower cars in the field. Ken coaxed the B into a third place finish. No not the fasted car there that Satuday night but very repectable considering that all the cars up from the states were running the then new small block chev engines.

tiquer--- I`m from Victoria. I had a highly modified b block that I got with a shed full of model a parts in 1973. It purportedly come out of a sprint car. At age 14 in 1961 I remember a guy on Catherine Street who showed me a picture of his full house model b sprint car taken in the 50`s. It would be interesting to know your friends name. There`s a large contingent of old race car drivers from the 40s and 50`s that are alive and well in victoria.---barry

Congratulations! The engine compartment looks about as original as you'll ever find (like the clip for the original wiring harness on the dash [firewall], etc.). It's a really neat pickup!

Old Henry · 03-07-2012, 03:08 PM

What a great find!

jim1932 · 03-07-2012, 02:55 PM

Welcome to the club. If you haven't done so, go the the early ford v-8 site and buy the 1932 ford book.

2935ford · 03-07-2012, 02:59 PM

Thank you everyone
.
I've been told the clutch is "frozen" to the flywheel.
Any ideas on how to free it w/o pulling everything apart?

FlatheadTed · 03-07-2012, 11:42 PM

You can also use jumper leads with 12 volt, with the hand & foot brake on clutch in, and in 3rd gear.With the hot wire onto the starter and touch the earth on the housing .
