These rims came on my '29 Roadster Pick Up. No luck identifying them so far. Anyone know for sure? Thanks
My user name says it all! Yep.... the world is flat
My buddies always razz me by saying "I have to go outside to change my mind." Lol!
Thanks loudbang! A little chrome goes a long way. BTW... the rear end is late 1950's Olds and someone chromed the whole thing way back when. Oh...

Happy B-Day to Henry. I think he would be amazed how many folks are still running his early Ford's around, along with those Flatties too!
Thanks mechanic58. The project is coming along now. Amazing how many people cruising thru the neighborhood stop by and want to chat about the old...
Well, the Offenhauser heads are installed (about time huh?). No leaks from studs so far. Just going to run the engine a few more times and go thru...
Dale Fairfax, The engine is an 8BA. It came bare bones stock. I put a Offy dual intake manifold with twin Stromburg 81's on it. The carbs...
Well....No replies to this one. I picked up some random linkage parts and some stainless stock material to fab my own connection from original...
Mr48chev, No calipers. Will eyeball it and see if it is obvious. BillM, I bought the correct Offy stud kit for an 8BA.
Dang Mr48chev. Talk about lighting quick responses! With that thought, I suppose that placing the studs into the Offy head would come to the same...

As seen in my user name. I am a flatty fan too. My 37 Ford truck is powered by an 8BA. I have always liked that saying "The world is flat"
Sweet! Looking forward to checking out the shop. Is it friday yet? Come on Good Guy's show!
Yeah...saw that too. I figure he will pop his head out from under the hood eventually. This guy is within a stones throw to my place.
