Hi buds! My name is Ed from Grass Valley Ca.I am soon to be 64 years old.When I was 17, I bought a 1934 ford pickup which at that time was traditional with the flathead, 1940 rearend, 39 tranny,split boans ,all of it.After a year or so the the truck got its first make over with a 283,3 speed and 52 olds rear.still somewhat traditional.Shortly after returning from Viet Nam,my buddy rolled his 66 mustang so the pup was treated to a HiPo 289 and toploader 4 speed.I got into jeeps for the next 30 years[more room for kids]but now I have renewed interest in the old Ford.With the exception of disc brakes and auto trans,I will put it back the way it was when I got it.I have the flathead but I will be watching your post for other parts I need.thank you for letting me join you Ed R. Grass Valley Ca.
