Looks like a good truck Jeff
Nice wagon
I plan on just finishing my projects after I am dead. I can haunt who ever tries to get my projects and work on them all the time. Nothing like...
The reason Walker closed was that Vernon was getting old and two of the kids are busy with the NSRA. They sold the company to Alan Johnson. He...
I have a 1947 Ford Coupe with 350/350. I put a walker radiator and a Cooling Components electric fan on it. I have a 180 degree thermostat. My...
It is built the way they would have back in the day if they had the parts we do now.
The Alan Grove brackets are great. The stock brackets are getting hard to find.
Thank you for showing your pictures. I was not able to go this year.
Completely frustrated and ready to screaming from the shop. Yep you are right on schedule. Just remember if it was easy you would probably just...
Thank you for posting the pictures.
Grind the heads off the rivets and then use a hammer and a punch to drive out the rest of the rivet.
You can use the new Electronic flashers with LED or original style bulbs. They don't care what the load is from my experience. You can get them...

Thanks for the link. That is different from what I have found.
I will get pictures of the car today for you.
If you could measure the diameter of your hubcap that would be great. Thanks
The car is in great condition for as old as it is. I believe it was a funeral car but have no way to tell.
I am thinking that the hubcaps must be put on cars that Henney modified. The car also has 16" wheels. We where told that stock Cadillacs came...
