Thanks, Ash, nice to hear that. I'm running 5.50. x 16 fronts and 7.00 x 16 rears. I have some other pics posted on Ford Barn, although some are...
I have a related question. When you do a reverse taper, don't you end up with half the normal bearing surface since it ends up like a bow tie in...
Tony, Charlie, just one further comment. '39 gearboxes are undoubtably the best version but anything '35 forward will work very nicely and are...
It will bolt together but I think the internals are not geared for your application. Also, my earlier post should have said "78-7006" not...
Those are correct. I like the stamped steel since it's lighter but they all work. On the stamped make sure the mounting holes are not egged out....
Charlie, I should have said '32-'34. The 18-7006 case has a shallower bell area and limits you to a 9" clutch. The 48-7006 and 78 prefix cases...
Tony, a couple of things: I strongly agree with Texas Webb on getting "The Book". Even though they use an earlier engine and later drive train,...
Tony, that '50 transmission is too long for a Model A. In mine I have an 8ba, stock Model A differential and torque tube, '35 top loader, '48...
As Mike Bishop points out in "The Book" he did with Vern, F-100 boxes are slighty larger in scale and are probably better suited to '32 and later...
The best way is to cut the flange off the F1 box and weld on the Model A sector flange. Chamfer both faces deeply and bolt in to determine angle...
Ok, thanks. Mine measures 2.25" and doesn't bottom out either. I was actually thinking of removing another leaf but it rides pretty good now. Back...
Ron, how much clearance did you end up with from the top of rear radius rod to underside of frame rail where it crosses and does it ever bottom...
You know, when you look at those fenders in isolation, you realize how beautifully designed cars were from that era. Each component can stand...
Pooch, Model A has 6 holes around the flange.
Thanks Texasspeed and waxhead, I haven't bottomed out with it yet. I just checked it for rub marks and it looks ok. Lowest point on the front axle...
Here are some recent pics of mine.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It's also on '32 rails and slightly channelled giving it that nose down attitude.
I'm not sure its been posted here but Joblot Automotive is winding down the operation. I read it on Ford Barn and had it confirmed by James. This...
Nice!
Here's some pics of the Model A's we tear around SW CT in. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
It came out perfect and the stance looks great, Lukas. Our cars are distant cousins.[ATTACH]
