The Ford Barn

Just wondering about my 1934 1 1/2 ton truck. It has a model A style clutch/flywheel setup. Is this a farmer fix? or original to the big trucks?

Thanks, J

34 was the last Model A style clutch---35 was the first Long style. Walt

Thank you, now all I have to do is get it all bolted together and started up. It was rebuilt and very tight in the poured bearings. I plan to tow it around with arctic oil to loosen it up. I can't turn it with the hand crank. I will need to plumb it for gas and add the ancillary pieces. The distributer needed points and I had to do it by the seat of my pants. It was Ford rebuilt in a box and I don't know why the point spring was broken. I also have a Ford rebuilt carb, maybe it will be ok. The rebuilt stuff was bought a long time back by the old second owner so well see. It probably also has the lowest gear ratio in the rear-end as it was an orchard truck.
