Re: 1936 Truck restoration
This question is gonna show ya how lil I know., but isn't that one pic of the starter.. isn't it on backwards? I thought the starter spring drive thingy would be point in the opposite direction towards the back of the engine.?

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Don't forget that with a later engine and exhaust manifolds you can use a 35-36 exhaust pipe.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Worked a bit on the inside tonight. Heres a few pictures of the gauges in the truck. Didn't break or scratch anything so I'm thinking it went well. Have a question about he starter button you see here on the left. There was a hole there and the switch was in the pile of parts but I don't see it in any diagrams as they all show a foot starter switch. Anyone have any info on that?

I think it was common practice as that freed up a foot to do other things while you start the truck. I don't believe it will affect your truck's value, I may be wrong. Joe's Antique Auto parts lists them at about seven bucks, page 51. Get his catalog if you don't already have it, good source for Early Ford V-8 parts.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
My '36 has the light switch there and the starter on the floor.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Yes it should be on the steering wheel but when it quite a long time ago some farmer just put the switch on the dash and I left it there. It's been like that for 60 years.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
It appears that the steering wheel does not want to slide down enough for me to start the bolt. I've hit it with a rubber mallet a few times, hard enough for it to go on and no luck. Before I continue to beat on this thing is there any reason this steering wheel would not go on this shaft?

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Can't see the width of the spokes , but it appears to be a '46-48 model.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
I'm agreeing with '36 5W above, and please remember, I'm not a parts expert, but that wheel doesn't look like the one on my '35 Fordor which has three spokes (see photo). My '36 Phaeton has a banjo, but it has three spokes too.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Yeah wrong steering wheel mine is a three spoke and 'skinny'. Good thing you didn't get out the BIG hammer to drive it home it would have messed things up..........

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Noticed in earlier picture the engine had Merc heads and now has Ford heads; have you decided how you will handle fan, generator and upper radiator hose issues? BTW, that's a beautiful job you're doing; would look great in my garage as well!

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Great question. I ordered a set of outlets for my heads from Flathead Jack. I'm thinking I'm going to use a flex radiator hose to get it where it needs to go. I'm hoping I don't have a fan and generator issue but your question makes me think I might?

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
I never did figure out a way to keep the mechanical fan but I think there're others on this site who have. I went with an electric fan and alternator; it was a tight fit but have no regrets.

I have not hooked the radiator up yet so I didn't know that was a problem, bummer. Maybe someone will give me some feed back as to what they did to correct the issue. I want to keep the mechanical fan and factory look. |
