The Jalopy Journal
I still miss my '35 that I had to sell in '72 thanks to military service transfer, sold in San Diego. Full fendered with the rears bobbed for a...
I think my cars seem to attract that kind of people. ;) My 2nd best were sitting at a light in my built '57 sedan and watching peoples' reaction...
Yes it does but often you must take into consideration HOW it leaves in the exhaust. Back when I lived in Az. I played with several engine/car...
Very cool. The first truck I ever drove was a red Pilothouse Dodge that was the service truck for the gas station I worked at during high school....
That body style started in '39 and ran through the end of the 40's, also the Plymouth truck is almost identical except for the grille and emblems....
My Dad did about the same with IBM and CREI courses after he retired from the Navy as a Senior Chief CT (CTS).
That is the one I used a few times, good to hear they are still in business as I have a few speedo's that could use some work so I'll box them up...
Just found this thread and read all the way through non stop, ah the memories are running rampant. I got out of the service and ended in Phx in 74...
There was a 53 or 54 Poncho SD in a wrecking yard north of Denver (still had the tail lights), I think it was called Speedway or the road was. Had...
Actually the 92 made is a wives tale for the windowed deliverys, years ago a bunch of us came up with a higher number but nothing is really...
As have I, never had anything other than drum brakes on my old iron. Never had power steering either except on my old '57 Burb that was an old...
As it was with me, my father was in for WW2, Korea, and Nam and my grandfather rejoined for WW1 so there also was really no question. Thanks to...
I can't believe I haven't seen this thread before today but I have had old hot rod friends in from Az., I will certainly be keeping an eye out for...
I used to work on equipment out at the Harqua Halla mine (forgot the spelling) and parts were always getting 'lost' and that was before the...
I have done the same thing in the past and am just gathering up carb bits to put the cable on my Jimmie.
I made 12 trips with my equipment trailer hauling 2 classics , a Harley and a lot of parts from Phoenix back to Fla. and never stopped at a scale...
Add me to the list with my '59 Fleet option GMC plus all my past trucks still had the solid axle also. Heck even my late model truck has one as it...
I've had some flexible signs for a couple decades and even use them once in a while but I found tying my wolf hybrid to the car did better.;)...
I love this thread and it brings back many memories for me as in '69 after my first tour I replaced the '49 Merc flattie in my '35 Ford pickup...
41 Ford car or 53-56 Ford panel
Ad a pickup bed on rollers in the trunk, factory option for farmers that wanted a pickup and then a car on Sunday.
Never seen a 38 with them.
Can't verify the LA Times ad but in San Francisco the coupe was listed for sale for $1800 in the paper, I know as I called on it and was told it...
Sure did, especially in the winter as the heat blew under the front seat.
Well as I have to tour the show in my scooter (limited walking) this time I'll have to go as a spectator but still plan on being there.
Another option is to solder plugs from the inside if possible, just don't use acid core solder.
If it is the one with rear axle to drum shear pins carry a few spares if you keep it and I would even check the ones in it now.
Growing up in S. Fla in the 60's Big Daddy has always been a hero of mine, here's wishing you and your wife the best. Prayers already said.
I used to work on equipment at the Harqua Hala mine and still have keys to the gate on the eastern side, interesting area. I lived in Az. for 27...
