The Ford Barn

I am restoring a 51 woody and wondering if there is an expert in the house. There is plenty of information on passenger cars but very little on the wagons. Looking for instructions on installing all the upper and lower tailgate rubber weather stripping. The Dennis Carpenter drawings don't show much detail. Maybe there are some better drawings out there.

Thanks, Phil Swanson

Phillip, you might want to try Rick McCloskey. Rick is the 1949-1951 Advisor for the National Woodie Club. He can be reached at [email protected]. If you aren't already a member, why not join the National Woodie Club.

Thanks to both of you. Yes I know Rick Mac. I bought my new wood from him. I just never thought of calling him. Didn't realize he was the 49-51 woodie advisor. I have been to his shop in Tacoma. He makes the best wood for these cars. THANKS!
